  • Forms are issued in January each year and are available via Campus Connection.
  • Keep this form for your records and consult a tax advisor for how it may impact your taxes.
  • Learn more via IRS Publication 970.

Dropping Classes & Refunds

If you drop a class after the refund deadline, you will not receive a tuition refund, and the course will appear as a "W" (Withdraw) on your transcript. Refunds are only available before the refund deadline or if withdrawing from all courses. Be sure to check the refund policy for details and consult with BSC’s Academic Records or Student Finance offices for assistance.
