Refunds
When you register for a class, you agree to pay for it. If you officially drop the class by the refund deadline, the college will refund your tuition. If the college cancels a class, we will refund your tuition in full. It is your responsibility to drop any class that you do not plan to attend. Students must use ExpressLane to officially drop a class. Refer to the class schedule for deadlines.
Lane has an all or no refund policy. Tuition is not prorated. Whether or not a student receives a refund or not is based on the length of the class and the date that the student drops the class. Students who drop after the refund deadline will not receive a refund or credit for dropping the class. If a refund is applicable, the amount is automatically posted as a credit to the student's Deferred Billing Terms Agreement account.
Interpreting the table below, the class duration is the number of weeks the class is scheduled to meet. "Refund Deadline" means by midnight (11:59 p.m.) on Sunday of the first week. For workshop refunds, students need to contact the sponsoring department.

Student Activity and Registration Fee Refunds
If the college cancels your credit class, or you withdraw from all your classes during the refund period, the college automatically refunds these fees.
How refunds are processed
- Refunds are first applied to any outstanding balance owed
- If financial aid or a sponsoring agency paid your account, refunds are credited either to you or to the funding source, as appropriate
- If you have paid your account with check or credit/debit card, refunds are issued via the same payment type
- The college applies all other refunds as a credit to your account
- The Transportation Fee is nonrefundable after the full-term refund deadline
If medical/emergency circumstances beyond your control prevent you from dropping your classes by the refund date, you may request an exception to the refund policy. You must complete the Refund Request online form available at www.lanecc.edu/costs-admission/tuition-fees-and-payments/refunds/refund-request-information-and-form. Petitions received after the eighth week of the term and/or without documentation will be denied.
If you have a documented medical or emergency reason why you dropped your class after the refund deadline, you can fill out the Refund Request online form and submit it to Student Accounts. A committee will review your request.
If a student does not plan to attend a class, official withdrawal from that class is the student's responsibility.

Deadline
The deadline for submitting petitions requesting a Refund Request is 30 days from the end of the term. Refund requests submitted after this date will only be considered when a medical emergency prevents you from using ExpressLane to drop classes by the refund deadline. Even if your petition is approved, you may still owe fees and finance charges.
