Student Services

There are a variety of refunds the Bursar's Office is responsible for disbursing. The most common are discussed below.

Refund of tuition and fees for cancelled or dropped classes

If a student has a class cancelled or drops a class during the refund period published in each quarter's class bulletin, a refund check will be mailed to the student's home address currently on file with the Registration and Student Records office.The class must be dropped during the refund period. This check will be for 100% of tuition and fees paid for the class. Refund checks for classes dropped prior to the published final date to withdraw with a refund will be mailed approximately 14 business dates after the beginning of the quarter.

Special attention should be given when registering for non-standard courses. Since these courses are not of standard length, they have different refund and withdrawal dates. It is the student's responsibility to be aware of this information and other matters related to his or her registration. Refund checks for classes dropped prior to the published final date to withdraw with a refund will be mailed approximately 14 business dates after the first day of the quarter. Refund checks for non-standard courses with final refund dates after the published date will be mailed with two weeks of that drop.

Refund of unused financial aid (Pell, Loans, Scholarships, etc.)

Unused refundable financial aid will be mailed out approximately two weeks after the beginning of each quarter or two weeks after the financial aid office receives all documentation and updates the student's record. All checks are mailed!

Refund of student deposits

A request for a refund of student deposit money must be made in writing. The request is to be sent to:

            Sinclair Community College
            Attn: Bursar's Office, Stacy Flores
            444 West Third Street
            Dayton, OH 45402

The student will be mailed the refund check in approximately 10 days.

Refund appeals

A student dropping a class after the published date to drop with a refund may complete a Refund Appeal Form. This form, along with any accompanying documentation, will then go to the Refund Appeals Committee. As a rule, refunds are generally granted only in such cases as withdrawals for medical emergencies involving the student or an immediate family member for whom the student is the primary care giver, death of an immediate family member, or instances where the school is at fault. Refund Appeal Forms are available at the Bursar's Office, Building 10, 2nd Floor.
