Refund Policy

REFUND OF TUITION AND ELIGIBLE FEES*
To receive a refund of tuition and eligible fees, the student must follow the withdrawal procedure prescribed by the College. Tuition and other eligible fees are refundable according to the following schedule:

Refunds of instructional fees (tuition), general fees, technology fees, student life fees, and course fees, if applicable, are based on the first calendar day of the quarter. The refund schedule will be adjusted proportionately for terms with fewer than 11 weeks. Refund checks are issued by the Business Office and are mailed to the student’s home address usually within four (4) weeks after the first day of class. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that the Records Office has his/her current mailing address. Refunds do not apply to non-refundable fees and/or deposits. *This College refund policy is separate and distinct from the Title IV Pro-Rata Financial Aid Refund.

Delinquent Accounts

Outstanding Balances
As a state-supported institution of Ohio, Belmont College has an obligation to collect all fees due the college. Section 131.02 of the Ohio Revised Code requires all state agencies to refer all outstanding balances greater than 45 days of billing date to the Attorney General of the State of Ohio for final resolution. Once a delinquent debt has been forwarded to the Attorney General’s office for collection efforts, the balance will accrue interest at a rate established by the Ohio Revised Code and calculated on all outstanding balances. In addition, delinquent debts may incur costs including but not limited to charges, fees, interest, and penalties.

Financial Aid Refunds & Overages

All student refund checks are mailed to the student's permanent address on file with the Records Office at the time the refund is processed. For more information read the refund check policy.
