Refund Policy

The refund policy for Fayetteville Technical Community College’s Corporate & Continuing Education Division was established by the North Carolina Department of Community Colleges in Raleigh on October 15, 1993 and updated May 16, 2014. The full refund policy is listed in the State Board of Community Colleges Code 1E SBCCC 900.2 with a brief statement of the policy below:

 

  1. A pre-registered student who officially withdraws from a Continuing Education class(es) prior to the first section meeting of the class will be eligible for a

    refund by completing an official request form. In order to be eligible for a 100 percent refund, it is required that a student’s drop request be made prior to

    the first class meeting and FTCC encourages students to request a drop at least 24 hours before the first class meeting.

  2. A 75 percent refund will be given if a student officially withdraws after the start of the class and prior to the 10 percent point of the class. This applies to
