Carl Albert State College will NOT automatically cancel a student’s enrollment for nonpayment of tuition and fees.  Complete withdrawal from the institution is the sole responsibility of each student. 

To receive a full refund or a total cancellation of financial liability, students must cancel registration with the Admissions and Registrar’s Office in writing before the end of the officially defined add/drop period for that semester.  Please note that there are different add/drop dates depending on the length and start date of the individual course.  Students may cancel registration by filing a Complete Withdrawal Form in the Admissions Office or by submitting an email from your student email account to the Admissions Office.  Withdrawal requests made to instructors or by telephone do not guarantee removal from classes or obligations.

No refunds of charges will be made if students completely withdraw or drop classes after the defined drop/add period for that semester, and full liability for that semester’s cost will be incurred by the student.

Withdrawal Types:
Official:  The student submitted the appropriate request to the appropriate office within the defined add/drop period for their classes.  These are typically processed at the time of request.
Unofficial:  The student stopped attending classes and/or stopped submitting assignments, resulting in a failed course.  These are typically found after the end of the semester or individual class has ended and the student has all F grades or a combination of F and W grades.

Return of Title IV Funds: 
Any student that received Title IV funds (Pell Grant, FSEOG, Direct Subsidized Loan, Direct Unsubsidized Loan, or a Parent PLUS Loan) is required to return a portion of that aid to the Federal Government and/or Carl Albert State College if the student:

    –    Completely Withdrew after the final drop date, but on or before 60% of the semester has been completed OR

    –    Received all F’s that resulted in a 0.00 GPA for the term and ceased attendance after the final drop date, but on or before 60% of the semester has been completed OR

    –    Received a combination of F’s and W’s that resulted in a 0.00 GPA for the term and ceased attendance after the final drop date, but on or before 60% of the semester has been completed.

The student will be notified within 30 days of the withdrawal or determination of withdrawal as to the portion of the funds that need to be returned.
