PAYMENTS & REFUNDS
PAYMENTS & REFUNDS
Workforce Development and Technical Education Non-Credit Courses
Online registration requires immediate payment via credit card. All other fees are payable by check, money order, or cash to the Bursar’s
Office. Once your registration form has been processed, you will receive payment instructions via email.
Refund Guidelines for Students
A. Once registered, the student must pay tuition. Registration is not guaranteed until tuition has been paid, particularly for high-
demand classes.
B. A 100 percent refund will be granted if the student drops the class at least five business days before the start date. The term
“refund” includes voiding invoices for unpaid balances. Drop requests must be submitted in writing to the appropriate department.
Emailed requests are acceptable at noncredit@dcc.edu.
C. Any type of refund may require up to approximately six weeks for processing. The College is a state agency, and therefore, all
refunds must be substantiated in writing and are subject to review by the State of Louisiana Office of the Legislative Auditor.
D. Nonattendance does not constitute dropping a class. If the student does not submit a drop request, he or she will be billed for the
class even if he or she has not attended.
E. No drop requests and associated refunds will be granted after the five-day drop period has passed.
• Exceptions might be granted on a case-by-case basis in the event of certain documentable emergencies. A refund request must
be submitted in writing within 30 days of the course end date to the appropriate department along with documentation of the
emergency.
• A Refund Request Committee, comprised of appointed representatives of Workforce Development and Technical Education
(usually department heads or their designees), will evaluate the requests on a monthly basis. Decisions of this committee shall
be considered final and not eligible for appeal.
F. A 100 percent refund is automatically processed if a class is cancelled by Delgado Community College.
• Students will be notified when a class is cancelled by the College before the scheduled starting date. All efforts will be made to
provide notice of cancellation at least three business days before the start date of the course.
• A written request from the student is not required to process a refund in this instance.
Payment Guidelines for Students
A. Failure to pay any balance in full by the end date of a class may result in the account being placed with a collection agency. Students
are responsible for all collection and/or legal fees associated with accounts placed with collection. Holds that restrict registration,
release of grades, results, and/or certificates of completion may be placed on accounts with a balance remaining after the class had
ended.
B. Students are assessed a fee for all returned checks and/or credit card chargebacks due to insufficient funds, unauthorized use,
cancelled card, or fraud. The fee is $25 for five percent of the amount of the returned check/credit card chargeback, whichever is
greater. Only in the case of a bank or card issuer error will the returned check/credit card chargeback penalties be removed. After the
College has exhausted its attempts to notify the student, failure to pay the returned check or credit card chargeback and additional
charges may subject the student to an administrative withdrawal from classes and his or her account may be submitted to a
collection agency.
