College Refund Policy

The full-time student refund schedule outlined below has been established by the State University Board of Trustees. In order to obtain a refund, however, the student must fill out the official withdrawal form with the Registrar’s Office and specifically request a refund of room and board and tuition.

1st Week	100%

4th Week	30%
5th Week	0%

Refunds from overpayments and financial aid

Refunds are done based on the information we have on the date the refund is processed. Billed college charges are deducted from payments and credits first before the refund is done. Refunds occurring from credit card payments are generally done back to the credit card used for payment, and Parent loans are generally done back to the parent borrower. Changes to account charges and/or financial aid may occur after this date. These changes are the student's responsibility to pay or follow up with Financial Aid. Students receiving federal financial aid must "earn" this aid per federal regulations. In order to earn 100% of federal aid for the semester, a student must be enrolled at SUNY Cobleskill at least until the 60% point of the semester. If a student withdraws before this point, and has received federal aid, significant monies may be owed to the college.

Room Rent

After a student has checked in and occupied a room, there shall be no refund for the balance of that half-semester.

Board (Meals)

Refund will be based on the number of weeks remaining in the semester. There shall be no refund for less than a week of participation remaining in a meal plan.
