FEES POLICY

  • Fees are subject to change at any time by action of the State Legislature, Board of Governors of the California community Colleges, or the San Mateo County Community College District Board of Trustees.  While it is the intention of the local governing board that any proposed fee increases be moderate and predictable, due to the ongoing State budget shortfall, fee increases could be adopted at any time.  In the event of a fee increase, students will be notified of the increase and any subsequent amount owed will be posted on their WebSMART account, and through emails to their my.smccd.edu email address.
  • To provide you with access to the most popular classes, the San Mateo County Community College District is making an important change in its fee payment payment policy.  Beginning Spring 2012, fees are due and payable at the time of registration.  Students who fail to pay their fees by pubished deadlines will be dropped from class(es).  If you need assistance with payment options, the Financial Aid Office can help you determine if you are eligible for state and  federal student aid programs.  Contact the Financial Aid Office, Building 2, Student Services Center, (650) 738-4236 for more information and a list of upcoming Financial Aid seminars.  If you cannot afford to pay fees when you register and do not qualify for Financial Aid, a payment plan is available.  Please watch out for announcements regarding enrollment in the payment plan.  The latest information and instructions will be available in WebSMART (Registration page).
  • All Records are automatically held until all outstanding debts to the District Colleges have been cleared.
  • Review your account on WebSMART regularly for current balances. 

CREDIT AND REFUND POLICY

  • To be eligible for a credit or refund, a student must officially withdraw from a course within the stated deadline as displayed on WebSMART Class Schedule Summary for exact refund dates.  If registration occurs after the refund date for a class, no refund will be available.
  • For short courses, withdrawal must occur within the first 10% of the course (often this the first day).
  • If you decide not to attend classes, it is your responsibility to officially withdraw within published deadlines to avoid penalty grades and fee obligations.  A withdrawal initiated by a professor may not result in a refund.
  • A student may either maintain a credit balance on account or request a refund.
  • Refunds are not issued automatically.  You must contact the Cashier's Office to request a refund.
  • Credit balances remain on student accounts for a maximum of five (5) years.
  • Fees paid by personal check(s) require 10 business days for bank clearance before refunds can be processed.
  • A $10 non-refundable processing fee (plus an additinal $50 processing fee for nonresident tuition) will be retained by the College if a refund is issued to a student withdrawing from all classes.  A refund processing fee may be charge only once per semester or summer session.
  • Students who receive financial aid and withdraw from classes are advised to contact the Financial Aid Office at (650) 738-4236 regarding possible repayment of federal funds if received prior to withdrawal.
  • Fees will be credited or refunded if an action of the College (e.g. class cancellation) prevents a student from attending.
