Distance Education

Below is refund information for various semester structures which affects high school students enrolled in NDSCS classes for dual credit.

The schedules reflect the percentage of refund for class tuition when students withdraw from all classes. Students who just drop one class (or part of their class load) for the semester will receive a 100% refund if the class is dropped by the date indicated. After that date, student who drop part of their class load will receive no refund.

Withdrawing from School --- If a student is totally withdrawing from school (dropping all classes), tuition may be refunded based upon the Withdrawal Refund Schedule and the SBHE refund policy.

Dropping Part of Your Class Load (for example if you are enrolled in two or more classes and decide to drop one of them) -- Students who drop a class shall receive a 100% refund of tuition only for the first 0-8.999% of the semester. This equates to approximately the first seven-eight (7-8) class days for full-semester classes and approximately the first three-four (3-4) class days for half-semester and summer classes.
