Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) A community
					 college district governing board shall refund upon request any enrollment fee
					 paid by a student pursuant to section
					 58501 for program changes made
					 during the first two weeks of instruction for a primary term-length course, or
					 by the 10 percent point of the length of the course for a short-term
					 course.
(b) A student shall be
					 allowed at least two weeks from the final qualifying date of the program change
					 specified in subdivision (a) to request an enrollment fee refund.
(c) A community college district shall not
					 refund any enrollment fee paid by a student for program changes made after the
					 first two weeks of instruction for a primary term-length course, or after the
					 10 percent point of the length of the course for a short-term course, unless
					 the program change is a result of action by the district to cancel or
					 reschedule a class or to drop a student pursuant to subdivision
					 (
l
) of section
					 55003 where the student fails to
					 meet a prerequisite.
(d) When
					 refunding an enrollment fee pursuant to subdivision (a), a community college
					 district may retain once each semester or quarter an amount not to exceed
					 $10.00.
(e) If the district has
					 adopted a withdrawal policy pursuant to section
					 55024, any student who is a member
					 of an active or reserve United States military service, and who has withdrawn
					 from courses due to military orders, may file a petition with the district
					 requesting refund of the enrollment fee. The district shall refund the entire
					 fee unless academic credit has been awarded.
(f) Prior to refunding any enrollment fee or
					 tuition, the district may determine if the student received federal Title IV
					 funds during the term of enrollment. If funds were received, the refund may be
					 held for up to 30 days while the district determines if any institutional or
					 student return to the federal Title IV programs is due under Section
					 485 of the Higher Education
					 Amendments of 1998, P.L.
					 105-244. If a return is deemed to be required, the
					 amount of enrollment fee refund may first be used to meet any return obligation
					 of the district and, if an amount of enrollment fee refund remains after the
					 district obligation has been met, that amount may be used to meet any return
					 obligation of the student. If an enrollment fee refund amount remains after all
					 return obligations have been met, the student shall receive the
					 remainder.
