Petition for Tuition Refund

Withdrawal Refund Request:

In keeping with ­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­SVCC Board of Trustee Policy 602.01 "Student Admission, Retention, and Academic Standing," Sauk Valley Community College will consider a petition for tuition refund when the student files a request claiming that the student was unable to complete the semester due to circumstances determined by the college to be exceptional and beyond the control of the student. These may include, but are not limited to: illness or injury of the student of such severity and duration, as confirmed in writing by a physician or licensed mental health professional, to preclude completion of the course(s); death of the student or the student's parents, spouse, child or sibling during the semester; extended, round-the-clock care of an ill relative; or involuntary call to active military duty.

Students have until finals week of the semester for which they are petitioning to file the petition. After finals week, no petition will be accepted. Students eligible for withdrawal may or may not be entitled to a refund.

Circumstances NOT constituting valid reasons for refund, which will lead to a denial:  death of member of extended family or friends, change of work schedule or loss of job, loss of child care, incarceration, loss of transportation, issues involving method of instruction, dissatisfaction with course content, dissatisfaction of course grade, dissatisfaction with instructor, lack of understanding of refund policy and/or lack of understanding of college policy.

Refunds are granted in accordance with college policy and state regulations. Students whose accounts have been turned over to collections may be obligated to repay the collections fees to the collections agency even if a refund is granted.
