Tuition Assistance (TA) Refund Policy
The Utah Board of Higher Education (UBHE) sets the minimum refund requirements for institutions within the Utah System of Higher Education (USHE). Salt Lake Community College (SLCC) meets or exceeds the minimum standards for refunds of tuition, fees, and other student charges. Salt Lake Community College refund schedule provides a refund to students through 20% completion of a course. Regardless the length of the course, the 20% rule is followed:
USHE – Standard Refund (full semester)

| From the 15th calendar day of close of business on the 21st calendar day of the period of enrollment | at least 50% |
| After the 21st calendar day | none |

More information on SLCC Refunds.
**See the Academic Calendar for specific drop and withdrawal deadlines by term and semester.
Students must drop classes or completely withdraw from SLCC by the published 100% Refund Deadline to have the charges removed from their account. Students who withdraw after that date will not receive a refund. If a student has not paid their charges for the semester, they will continue to owe the College for these charges and will be subject to collections procedures if left unpaid.
***Changes in enrollment may affect eligibility and amounts received from Financial Aid, Veterans Affairs Benefits (VA), and Military Tuition Assistance (TA). Financial Aid awards and VA/TA funds may be pulled back when dropping courses, thus increasing the amount owed.
A petition for exception to the refund policy can be submitted by visiting the Registrar’s Office Registration website. Service members of the U.S. Armed Forces who stop attending due to a military service obligation may submit a copy of their orders along with their petition. SLCC will work with affected service members to identify solutions that will not result in a student debt for the returned portion of VA/TA funds.
