You need to complete the procedure for correctly dropping a course either online or in person within the drop period or 15% of the class meetings. Drop requests cannot be accepted over the phone. Instructors also can not drop you from the course. Students should not expect instructors to drop the students from non-attendance, students are responsible to drop courses by the deadlines to avoid being charged. 

To receive a refund, you need to ensure you drop the course within the drop deadline which can be found online when you "View your bill" located in the Paying for College link in Myaims.  If you drop the class after the drop deadline, this is considered a withdrawal and the student is held liable for the full cost of the course (no refund). If you received financial aid funds (grants, scholarships and/or loans), you may owe funds back to the college if you drop, stop attending or withdraw from courses.

All Cashier’s Office locations accept cash, one-party checks, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express with proper identification. Credit/debit cards are accepted online. You can pay in full by credit card or sign up for a MyPaymentPlan through MyAims. Click on the "Paying for College" link on your student myaims webpage.
