Refunds are typically issued within four to six weeks after an eligible drop is processed.
If Barstow Community College cancels a class, any applicable enrollment fees and nonresident tuition will be refunded automatically.

To request a refund, students must submit a Petition for Excused Withdrawal along with a copy of their official military orders. Refunds cannot be issued once a final grade has been awarded.
Payment Procedures
Enrollment fees and other applicable fees are due at the beginning of each semester. Once the semester begins, a registration hold will be placed on all student accounts with an outstanding balance.
