Refund Schedule

Based on the rules of the Texas Higher Education Coordination Board, the following guidelines will be used to determine refunds for college credit class drops or withdrawals:

Class Cancellation:

If the college cancels or discontinues a scheduled course, a 100% refund will be granted.

Drop / Add Procedures:

Students must have advising profile and see a counselor before dropping.

Exceptions:

Students may drop credit hours and add credit hours without financial penalty until official day of record if all requirements in each category are met:

For equal credit hour changes:

1. The drop and add must be of equal credit hours and be for courses within the same term. (Example: drop 3 hrs./add 3 hrs.)
2. The drop and add must be completed before each class's official day of record. NHMCCD requires special approval for a student to add a class after the class has met one time. The official day of record varies per semester. Questions regarding official day of record for other courses may be referred to your college business office.
3. The drop and add transactions are best made simultaneously, but must be completed the same calendar day.
