Petitioning to Remove Tuition Charges
A student may file a petition if there were serious and compelling circumstances
beyond the student’s
control which prevented the student from attending college during the first four
weeks of the term. The request, with all documentation, must be submitted to
the Admissions, Registration and Records Office.
