A refund of registration fees will be made to any student enrolled in college credit courses who officially drops on or before the last day of the add/drop period of any academic term. This policy applies also to the reduction of class load.

Students who are withdrawn from a class due to nonattendance are not eligible for a refund of tuition or fees related to that class, nor will they be entitled to the financial aid related to their enrollment in that class.

Financial aid may occasionally cause a student account to appear paid when in fact it is not. Accordingly, the automated drop process does not always drop every student who has not paid. Students who register and then decide not to attend classes must drop those classes online prior to the end of the drop period, even if payment has not been made. Students should not rely on the College to automatically drop the registration. Withdrawal from all Full Term and Term A classes will result in the student being dropped from all Term B classes.

Exceptions
A full refund (100%) will be given to any student whose courses are canceled by the College or to any student who, because of serious circumstances beyond the student’s control occurring prior to the mid-point of the term, is prevented from completing the term. These circumstances can be found in the College’s online Catalog / Student Handbook.

Tuition for continuing workforce and community instructional service courses is not refundable.

A statutory refund is made to federal financial aid sources, excluding Federal Work Study, if the student received financial aid funds and the student officially withdrew or was officially withdrawn from all classes prior to completing at least 60% of the term. This also applies to students who stopped attendance prior to completing at least 60% of the term and received grades of F, I, and/or W only, referred to as an “unofficial withdrawal.”

For official withdrawals, SJR State’s policy is to recalculate the amount of aid earned based on the date the student withdrew from all classes. For students who were officially withdrawn (by instructors), the calculation is based on the last date of attendance or final class participation date documented by the instructor(s). For unofficial withdrawals, SJR State’s policy is to recalculate the amount of aid earned based on the last documented date the student participated in class. The College will bill the student any amount refunded to federal sources. A hold will be placed on the student’s records until repayment is made. Repayment can be made by cash, check, or credit card to the cashier; or payment can be sent to the Business Office.

Refunds will be distributed to aid sources from which the student received aid in the following order as prescribed by federal regulations, more information can be found in the College’s online Catalog / Student Handbook.

If a student, or anyone on the student’s behalf, issues a check or an electronic check (ACH transaction) to meet an obligation to the College during the add/drop period and the check is not honored by the bank, the student will be voided from all classes within a 24-hour period.

In all cases, a returned check fee of $25.00 will be assessed to the student’s account as authorized by Florida Statute 832.07. If a student habitually issues bad checks, even if the debt is cleared, check payment privileges will be taken away.

If, due to bank error, the check is dishonored, the student must bring or electronically send a signed letter from the bank to the Business Office that states the bank error. This should be done immediately after the student is notified by the College that the check has been returned. There will be no returned check fee assessed to the student’s account.

St. Johns River State College offers a Tuition Payment Plan for all students requiring assistance with managing their educational expenses. The Tuition Payment Plan will allow students to pay for tuition and fee expenses over a period of time rather than one lump sum payment before the start of the semester. The College has contracted with Nelnet Business Solutions to administer this program. This company is responsible for enrolment, as well as receiving the monthly payments. Students pay a non-refundable enrollment fee to participate in the plan. Enrollment in the payment plan can be completed via sjrstate.edu by logging on to the MySJRstate account. Once logged in, locate on the important links card to find “Pay My Tuition & Fees” option. A new window will open. Choose “PAY OVER TIME” and follow the steps.

If you want to enroll in the tuition payment plan for a B term course(s), you will need to register for the course before the date listed for Last Day to Enroll Online and sign up for the payment plan.

Schedule Changes
If you drop or add a course after enrolling in the tuition payment plan, SJR State sends Nelnet a file to update the tuition payment plan amount. An email or text message will alert you the payment plan amount was updated.

If you chose to terminate/cancel your registration the plan please call the SJR State Business Office at (386) 312-4121 to make that update in Nelnet. This is currently the only way to terminate a plan. If this is completed prior to the Drop with Refund date, after enrolling in the tuition payment plan, you should receive a refund approximately three (3) weeks after the Drop with Refund Date.

Payment Plan Refunds
Refunds for the tuition payment plan will be issued by SJR State College approximately 3 weeks or 6 weeks from the Drop with Refund date: students terminating an agreement prior to the Drop with Refund date will receive their refund in approximately 3 weeks, all others 6 weeks. SJR State issues all refunds through BM Technologies, Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of First Carolina Bank.

Students needing additional information should contact the St. Johns River State College Business Office at (386) 312-4121.
