Withdrawal Refund Policy

CCAD’s withdrawal refund policy is aligned to the Department of Education guidelines regarding the return of Title IV funds when a student withdraws from the college.  If a student voluntarily withdraws from CCAD, institutional charges will be prorated based on the percentage of the term completed up to 60%. Institutional charges are defined as tuition, fees, and room and board. Once the 60% threshold has been met, institutional charges will not be prorated. The date of withdrawal and calculation of term completion is established by the Office of Student Records. 

Financial aid will be recalculated in accordance with federal and state guidelines.  Once the 60% threshold has been met, a student has earned 100% of any Title IV funds the student was scheduled to receive during the period.  Scholarships and grants awarded by CCAD will also be prorated up to the 60% threshold.  Students are encouraged to contact Financial Aid to discuss the consequences withdrawing from the college will have on any federal, state, or CCAD aid.  

An updated statement will be provided to the student after the recalculation of institutional charges and financial aid.  Any balances due to the student will be refunded via the preferred refund method on file.

 After the 60% threshold is met, if a student drops in status from full-time (12 or more credit hours) to part- time (11 credit hours or below), full-time tuition will be charged. There is a $10 add/drop fee per course that goes into effect the day after the deadline to add or register for classes during fall and spring semesters.

 After the final withdrawal deadline for a given semester, a student may not retroactively withdraw from that semester. Students seeking a medical withdrawal should refer to the “Medical Withdrawal” policy. In most cases, students requesting medical withdrawals will still be charged all or part of the tuition and fees for that semester.


Official Transcripts and Replacement Diplomas

Official transcripts and replacement diplomas can only be ordered online. The transcript fee is $10 per transcript and $25 per replacement diploma for processing (three to five business days). You do NOT need your CCAD ID number to order a transcript or replacement diploma. We do not offer an expedited or overnight mail service. All transcripts and replacement diplomas that are requested to be mailed will be sent via regular U.S. mail.

Online transcript and replacement diploma requests that are submitted while the college is closed for the holidays will be processed in the order they were received when the college offices reopen. If you need to attach a document to be included with your transcript you can do so on the Parchment website.
