Course Refunds

Refund Procedure

The means by which refunds are currently being distributed is subject to change. See the Academic Calendar for refund dates.

When a student enrolls in a class at Tulsa Community College, he/she reserves a place which cannot be made available to another student until he/she officially drops from the class. Many students cannot enter Tulsa Community College each term because classes are filled. Students processing a complete drop prior to the first day of classes may receive a 100 percent refund, except for Tuition Option Plan fees. Refunds will not be honored unless all financial obligations to Tulsa Community College have been cleared.

TCC uses a variety of methods to distribute refunds to students. Students with questions about how they will receive a refund should contact the Bursar’s office on any campus.
