Operational Policies and Procedures
INSTRUCTIONAL COMPUTING FEES AND REFUNDS
Instructional Computing facilities are fee-based
resources. Users must pay an Instructional Computing Use Fee (CF
fee) each quarter to gain access. This fee is automatically charged
to students who register for classes taught in IC classrooms or
taught online, and this will be indicated in the quarterly class
schedule. Each student will pay a maximum of 2 CF fees per quarter.
Students not registered for classes with the CF fee attached may
choose to pay the fee as a "hand load" at the Cashier's office in Building 6 to
gain access to IC facilities.
Students who are registered for classes taught
in IC facilities or online prior to the start of the quarter, or
who pay the CF fee separately prior to the start of the quarter,
will have their accounts active on the first day of the quarter.
Students who register late or who pay their fee separately after
the start of the quarter will have their accounts active on the
morning following their registration and/or payment.
For a detailed explanation of student
access and privileges, see Student
Rights and Responsibilities in Instructional Computing Facilities.
Refunds of CF fees will be issued only under
the following conditions:
"Hand loaded" CF may be refunded if the student registers for any CF fee class.
During the 100% refund period (normally through
the 5th class day of the quarter):
- Students who withdraw from all classes
will get all CF fees refunded, and will no longer have access
to IC facilities.
- Students who paid a "hand loaded" CF fee separate from
class registrations may request and receive a refund, and will
no longer have access to IC facilities.
- Students who withdraw from some but
not all classes may get a refund, depending on how many CF
fees were paid and which classes the student remains registered
for. If a refund is requested, IC staff will review the student's
registration and determine whether a refund is warranted. If
all CF fees paid by a student are refunded, they will no longer
have access to IC facilities.
During the 40% refund period (normally through
the 16th class day of the quarter):
- Students who have used IC facilities (i.e.
logged in) during the quarter will not be given a refund. If
a student has not used the IC facilities, the 100% refund period
criteria will apply. If all CF fees paid by a student are refunded,
they will no longer have access to IC facilities.
After the 40% refund period, no refunds will
be given.
Specific dates for the end of the 100%
and 40% refund periods during each quarter can be found in the Quarterly
Schedule.
