Course Refund Policy

Students may view their refund deadline dates on the MyChaffey portal under the 'Registration' widget for the current term.

Credit Amounts Less than $20
Students with a credit amount less than $20 must send a request from their panther email to cashier.staff@chaffey.edu with the following information:

• Student's full name
• Chaffey ID Number
• Refund credit amount

The refund process will begin for the student once the Cashier’s Office receives the email request. Students will receive their refund within 45 business days from the date of the email request. The deadline to request a refund for a credit amount less than $20 is the last day of the current semester.

Automatic Refund Process
Students do not need to request a refund for the following:

• Credit amounts of $20 or more
• Class(es) canceled by the college
• CCP Grant* reimbursements (No refund request required).

Students will receive their refund within 45 business days after the last day to add full term classes. Students will receive a refund in the form of original payment, excluding cash payments and students who paid using the NBS Tuition Payment Plan. Students who used these forms of payment will receive a refund check to the address on record. To ensure prompt delivery, the student must verify that their address is correct on MyChaffey portal. 

Please request to terminate your NBS Payment Plan by email at cashier.staff@chaffey.edu if you are due a refund.

Eligibility Requirement for Refunds
Students must officially drop or withdraw from a class before 10% of the course length has passed. Refund dates for full term, fast track, 14-week and summer classes vary. (California Code of Regulations, Title 5, Section 58508)

Please see the Academic Calendar for the last day to add and drop classes and other deadlines.  Please refer to the Schedule of Classes for detailed refund information.  You must drop your class(es) before the refund deadline for your class to be eligible for a refund.  In general, the refund deadlines for shorter-term courses (8-week Fast Track & 14-week) typically fall within 2 days of the start date of the course.  It is your responsibility to drop your courses.
