Refund Policies
Housing and Meal Plan Refund Policy
Housing and meal plan charges are assessed pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Mid-Plains Community College Housing Contract. Refund eligibility is determined based on the student’s official withdrawal date from the College and the applicable refund schedule outlined below.
Students Withdrawing from the College
A student who officially withdraws from Mid-Plains Community College and properly checks out of College housing in accordance with Residence Life procedures may be eligible for a partial refund of housing and meal plan charges. Refunds are calculated from the first day of classes through the student’s official withdrawal date, as recorded by the College.
Students who terminate their housing contract but remain enrolled at the College are financially responsible for the remaining term(s) of the housing contract, as provided therein.
Failure to properly complete Residence Life checkout procedures may result in additional charges and may affect refund eligibility.
Housing Contract Cancellation Prior to Occupancy
To receive a full refund of the housing deposit and prepaid housing charges, a student must submit written notice of cancellation to the Director or Assistant Director of Residence Life at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the start date of the housing contract.
Students who cancel a pending housing contract while on a waitlist and prior to move-in will not be assessed housing or meal plan charges.
Housing and Meal Plan Refund Schedule
Fall and Spring Semesters
- Prior to the First Day of Classes – 100% refund
- First Day of Classes through the 28th Calendar Day of the Semester – Prorated refund based on the official move-out date
- After the 28th Calendar Day of the Semester – No refund
Summer Semester
Summer housing is arranged on a case-by-case basis and governed by individual housing contracts specifying move-in and move-out dates. Housing charges are assessed on a weekly basis.
Refunds will be granted only if the prepayment has been received and the housing contract is cancelled before the scheduled move-in date. After move-in, students who terminate their summer housing contract early will be charged for the entire week in which the termination occurs, regardless of the actual move-out date. No prorated refunds will be issued for partial weeks.
The College reserves the right to assess additional charges, as permitted under the Housing Contract, at the discretion of the Dean or Associate Dean of Student Life upon termination of residency.
For complete terms and conditions, refer to the Residence Life Refund Policy and the Mid-Plains Community College Housing Contract.
Tuition Refund Policy
Any student who drops a class before it starts will receive a 100% refund of tuition and fees. Students must formally withdraw from any course they do not intend to complete.
Tuition and fee refunds are calculated in accordance with the published Add/Drop and Withdrawal deadlines for each course. Students are responsible for reviewing applicable deadlines, which are available on the College website at Add Drop and Withdrawal Deadlines | Visitor | My CampusWeb
A 100% refund of tuition and fees will be issued for courses officially dropped on or before the published Add/Drop deadline. A 60% refund of tuition and fees will be issued for courses officially dropped after the Add/Drop deadline but on or before the published "Partial Refund" Withdrawal deadline. No refund will be granted after the Withdrawal deadline.
The student’s official drop or withdrawal date is the date the student submits a formal request through the College’s designated registration process. Written notification in accordance with institutional procedures is required to process a withdrawal.
Failure to attend class does not constitute an official drop or withdrawal and does not relieve the student of financial responsibility. Students who do not formally withdraw remain responsible for all tuition and fees associated with the course.
Official Registration/Registration Change forms are available at campus Welcome Centers or online at www.mpcc.edu. For Tuition Refund information: Tuition (mpcc.edu).
