Refund Policy For Students Called To Active Military Duty

Central College is supportive of a student who is a member, or the spouse of a member if the member has a dependent child, of the Iowa National Guard or reserve forces of the United States and who is ordered to National Guard duty or federal active duty. Upon verification of orders requiring active duty, you may select from several tuition credit options. 

Options available to qualified students: Upon meeting with the Registrar’s office to verify orders, Central will work with you to determine the best plan for your circumstances. The college has three options to review and consider with you.

  1. Withdraw from the student’s entire registration and receive a full refund of tuition and mandatory fees. Students using Federal Tuition assistance will have any unearned tuition assistance funds returned back to the government on a prorated basis through at least 60% (day 114 of the semester) of the term for which the funds were provided.
  2. Make arrangements with the student’s instructors for course grades, or for incompletes that shall be completed by the student at a later date. If such arrangements are made, the student’s registration shall remain intact and tuition and mandatory fees shall be assessed for the courses in full.
  3. Make arrangements with only some of the student’s instructors for grades, or for incompletes that shall be completed by the student at a later date. If such arrangements are made, the registration for those courses shall remain intact and tuition and mandatory fees shall be assessed for those courses. Any course for which arrangements cannot be made for grades or incompletes shall be considered dropped and the tuition and mandatory fees for the course refunded.

These rules are in compliance with Iowa Code 261.9(1)(g)
