Community Course Refund Policy

Any student who wishes to withdraw from a community course must notify the instructor in writing of this action.

Refund Policy

MTSA will permit any student to cancel their enrollment agreement in a community course within five MTSA business days of the enrollment day. Should a cancellation occur, MTSA will refund 100% of the tuition payment that was made by the student, minus the non-refundable portion (30%) submitted to hold the student's position in the class. Students who have been given a medical withdrawal are assessed and adjusted no differently than other withdrawals.

Pro-Rata Refund

If a student withdraws or is terminated from the program after the period allowed for cancellation of the enrollment agreement and has completed 60% or less of the period of attendance (semester), the student is entitled to a partial prorated refund. MTSA will calculate whether a tuition refund is due and if so, remit a refund within 45 days following the student’s withdrawal or termination. The pro-rata percentage is based on days of attendance within the period of attendance. Please contact the Business Office (615-732-7852) for more information.

Determination of the Withdrawal Date

The student’s withdrawal date is the date the student submits the signed withdrawal form to the Registrar's Office.
