When you register for a course, you assume a financial responsibility. Nonpayment or failure to attend class does not result in an automatic drop from any course(s) or the release of financial responsibility. To be eligible for a refund, you must drop the course through  or submit a drop/add form with the records and registration office at records@aacc.edu by the refund deadline.

If you stop attending a course but do not officially drop it, you continue to be financially responsible for all tuition and fees, and you will receive a failing grade.

Courses dropped prior to the refund deadline are eligible for a full refund.

Students are provided a full refund when the college cancels a class.

Noncredit Classes

To be eligible for a refund for a noncredit course, you must officially drop the course before the first class.

Receiving your Refund

Refunds are generally issued and mailed approximately 15 days after a class is dropped or canceled. Refunds are issued in the form of a check or electronic check* unless 100% of your total refundable credit was originally paid with a credit card within the past 90 days. In that case, the refund goes to your card.

*Electronic Check (E-Check)

An e-check refund is a direct deposit that is made via an electronic transfer to a personal checking or savings account (held within the United States). E-check refunds are a safe and secure way to make sure your money gets into your account in the most convenient way possible. You also won't have to wait for a paper check to arrive in the mail.

If your account is not verified prior to the refund processing it will result in a paper check. This may happen if you set up your account information at the same time the check process is running. A verified account will have a green check mark in the “verification” column. You can only have one bank account active to receive funds.
