Refund Policy

In keeping with the state-wide enrollment processing policy from the Technical College System of Georgia, Southwest Georgia Technical College implemented a three (3) instructional day drop, 100% refund period, and a seven (7) calendar day add period at the beginning of each quarter.  Students have the first three days of each quarter to drop any or all of the courses they are registered for.  If students drop course(s) during this period, they will receive a 100% refund of all tuition and applicable fees, will not earn a "W" grade in the class and not have any hours counted against their financial aid cap.  If students drop any course(s) after the third instructional day of the quarter, they will receive no refund, will earn a "W" grade and will have the credit hours count against their financial aid cap.

Refunds, when due, will be made without requiring a request from the student.

Refunds, when due, will be made within thirty (30) days (1) of the last day of attendance if written notification has been provided to the College by the student, or (2) from the date the College terminates the student or determines withdrawal by the student.

Tuition refunds for students receiving benefits through the Department of Veterans' Affairs will be prorated over the length of the course.
