The schedule of refunds for tuition and general college fees outlined on this page only applies when a class has been formally dropped, as established by the Enrollment Services Center. Application and registration fees are nonrefundable. Lack of attendance or course abandonment does not constitute a drop or withdrawal, and the student will be responsible for the full balance.
Refund Policy
There will be no refunds or adjustments for classes for which a student has registered and not attended. Once a student’s enrollment has gone past the add/drop date, there are no refunds.
The refund policy applies to tuition and fees for all students who register for one or more courses at RCC. This policy goes into effect on the first day of classes for each semester. You may add or drop classes during the add/drop period without charge, except for the registration fee, which is nonrefundable. The official start and end dates of the add/drop period can be found online at https://www.rcc.mass.edu/events.html, listed as “Last Day for Schedule Changes.”

Financial Aid Refunds
Tuition waivers are available to Roxbury Community College students. These waivers include, but are not limited to, members of the National Guard, veterans, senior citizens, Native Americans, state employees, and wards of the state. In order to receive a tuition waiver, you must present the waiver at the time of registration or before the first day of class. If you present the waiver after the first day of class, the College will make adjustments on a case-by-case basis. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts does not fund all courses; therefore, the use of certain waivers for those unfunded courses will be restricted.
Students with approved tuition waivers, tuition remission, or tuition vouchers may register on a space-available basis, and fees must be paid. Tuition waivers, tuition remission, or tuition vouchers do not apply to special programs, seminars, or private instruction administered by the Division of Continuing Education (DCE). Also, certain tuition waivers that apply to the state-supported day division do not apply to Division of Continuing Education programs, including summer and winter sessions.
