Refunds

Tuition Refunds for Credit Classes
Refunds are given only if the requests are made to the Registration office during the refund periods (see Calendar). All refunds will be issued from the Accounts Payable department by check to the student within two to three weeks of the refund request, including refunds for payments made by charge cards. Exchanges cannot be performed through Internet Registration.

The Registration Calendar indicates the appropriate time period for refunds. Refunds for classes that begin and end outside of the regular semester schedule are determined on an individual basis.

Youth Education
A 100% refund is granted for withdrawal up to one day prior to the first class. Parents must call (630) 942-2208 to request a withdrawal or they will be charged the full amount. Please note that non-attendance does not count as withdrawal. If a class is canceled, a complete refund will be issued.

Non-Credit Classes
A 100 percent refund is given if you withdraw up to one calendar day before the start of your class. Please note that non-attendance does not count as withdrawal.

Refunds for Field & Interdisciplinary Studies
Trip fees are non-refundable. Travel protection brochures are available in the Field Studies office.

Refunds for Canceled Classes, College Errors
A 100 percent refund is given for a withdrawal that is caused by a canceled class or a college error. If a substitute class is not taken, a refund for paid tuition and fees will be issued within two to three weeks.

Medical Withdrawals
Direct your request for a medical withdrawal to the office of the Dean of Enrollment Services, (630) 942-4284. Requests should be made in writing and accompanied by documentation from a physician or medical institution to verify the medical condition, date of onset and estimated length of treatment.

Credit and Noncredit Class Concurrent Registration
If a student who is registered for both credit and non-credit classes wishes to withdraw from one class, the refund policy used will be the one appropriate for the class from which the student is withdrawing.
