Refund Policy

The Office of Continuing Education adheres strictly to the following refund policy:

Refunds are given either when QCC Continuing Education cancels classes or based on individual student requests. Tuition for canceled classes is refunded in full. A written request must be received by mail, fax or e-mail. Refund requests by telephone are not accepted.

Refunds are calculated from the date we receive your written request regardless of the date of registration. Requests received 7 days before the first session: student will receive a refund of 90% of tuition paid. Requests received before the second session: student will receive a refund of 75% of the course tuition. There will be no refund thereafter for any reason. Note: All refunds take approximately 2-3 weeks to process after the Office of Continuing Education receives your request and/or a class is canceled by our office.

  • Non attendance does not constitute a withdrawal or request for refund.

  • No cash refunds.

  • No refunds for classes which meet for only one or two sessions; or for classes after second meeting.

  • Multi-semester Programs will be refunded by the Tuition received minus the classes the student has taken (ie. the classes that remain at the time the student requested the refund).

For processing your refund request, please contact
Refund Request: QCCcontinuinged@qcc.cuny.edu

Course Cancellations

  • Our Office makes every attempt to notify you of course cancellations. Please confirm your current telephone number(s) and email address at the time of registration.

  • You will receive a full tuition refund for courses cancelled by the College. Please allow 2-3 weeks for processing.
