Refund Schedule

• Refunds are based on the date your Official Drop Form is received in our office.
• The Geoscience Distance Learning Programs do not grant 100% refunds at any time. Once you have registered for a course, the student is responsible for at least 10% of the tuition charges. If the student decides to drop even before the class start date, he or she will be billed by Mississippi State University for 10% of the tuition charges.
• Any balance remaining on a student account after he or she withdraws or drops still remains the student's responsibility even though the student did not continue to attend class. Should these charges become delinquent (more than 90 days old from the first billing date), the student account will be subject to collection efforts. Collection of delinquent accounts could possibly have a negative effect on a personal credit standing and result in additional charges.
