Students who receive financial assistance under any of the Title
IV student aid programs and who are attending BC for the first time
will receive a pro rata refund as required by Public Law 102-325,
the Higher Education Amendment of 1992. The percentage refunded
will differ slightly from the refijnd schedule shown above. This
refund policy is applied to eligible students during their first
term of enrollment at BC; the regular refund schedule will be administered
in subsequent terms. Students who do not formally withdraw, who
are suspended for disciplinary reasons, or who leave the college
when disciplinary action is pending are not eligible for a refund
of any portion of any fee.
No refunds are allowed for reduction in hours unless such is the
fault of the college.
Veterans' Benefits
Students in training under the G.I. Bill must pay all fees at registration
since they receive benefits directly from the Veterans' Administration.
Vocational Rehabflitation
Students whose fees are paid by the Georgia Department of Human
Resources, Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, must request that
copies of their grades be sent to the Vocational Rehabilitation
Office each semester. The College Business Office receives written
authorization of attendance from the Vocational Rehabilitation Office
prior to the student's registration each semester.
Fees For Continuing Education Programs
Fees for Continuing Education programs are based on the cost of
each program. Persons enrolling in these noncredit courses will
pay fees as advertised in the announce- ments of such courses. Registration
for Continuing Education programs is on a first- paid, first-enrolled
basis. Students are not guaranteed places in courses until registration
fees are paid.
If the college cancels a noncredit course, students will be notified
and issued a complete refund. Students who wish to withdraw from
a noncredit course must notify the college at least 24 hours prior
to the start date of the course. Refund requests made after this
deadline will not be honored.
