a refund
of the enrollment fee, health services fee, materials fee, nonresident tuition, and
student
center fee. Classes dropped after the refund deadline (ten percent deadline of class)
will
not be refunded. It is the student's responsibility to drop classes by the refund
deadline
or incur the fees (AP5030).
Refunds will be automatically mailed to the student or credited to the credit card
used to
make the payment.
A refund of fees will be given to eligible students, providing at least one of the
following
eligibility requirements is met:

- The fee was collected in error.

(ten
percent deadline of class). - A student who is a member of an active or reserve military service and has received
orders compelling a withdrawal from courses at any time during the semester. - CCPG waiver reimbursement for students who have paid their tuition prior to the waiver. (CCPG waiver only waives enrollment fees.)

Military Tuition Assistance Withdrawal
MiraCosta's policy specifies that if a student withdraws or drops within the first two weeks of class, 100% of the Tuition Assistance (TA) received will be returned. For short-term or late-start classes, this percentage is 10%. In cases where a service member stops attending due to a military service obligation and receives orders compelling a withdrawal at any time during the semester, unearned TA funds will be returned to the government, not as a refund to the student.
MiraCosta Schedule return of Unearned Tuition Assistance Funds is:
- Before or during weeks 1-2: 100% return
- During Weeks 3-4: 90% Return
- During Weeks 5-6: 75% Return
- During Weeks 7-8: 50% Return
- During weeks 9: 40% return (60% of course is completed)
- After week 10: 0% returned
Military Withdrawals
Service members who stop attending courses due to a military service obligation, and who are members of an active or reserve military service, will be permitted to withdrawal at any time during the semester if they receive orders compelling a withdrawal. The withdrawal will be notated as a Military Withdrawal (MW), and it will not have adverse effects on the student鈥檚 academic record.
To request a Military Withdrawal (MW), pemail proof of official orders to the director of admissions and records at admissions@miracosta.edu.
