to take care of banking needs. A fee of $35 will be imposed to the student’s account for

all checks returned to the College for insufficient funds. The College reserves the right to

not accept a check from a student who has previously presented a check with insufficient

funds. Failure to properly pay the amount of a returned check and fee shall result in the

student’s account being placed on hold.

CREDIT DISBURSEMENT

Students who have an anticipated credit on their student account may submit a check

requisition form in order to obtain a check from the College once the funds are disbursed

to their account. This form may be obtained in BC Central and is available for students

on MyBC. Students may submit it in person, by faxing it to BC Central at 276-326-4356

or by email at

. This form should be submitted each semester for

traditional students and each term for online students if the student has an actual credit on

his or her account and wishes to receive the funds at the earliest date available. Students

with federal funds on their account do not have to submit this form. Per federal guidelines,

any credit created by federal funds will have a scheduled disbursement fourteen (14) days

after the credit is created. Students have the option to obtain their check in BC Central

or have it mailed to their address. Students wishing to have their check overnighted to

their residence have the option to select either Saturday Delivery or Standard Overnight

Delivery. The charge for overnight delivery of the check will be deducted from the check

prior to its being issued. For students who have a parent plus loan on their account, a

student account authorization form must be completed by the parent on the loan. This form

is located on MyBC or may be obtained in BC Central. It provides the parents on the loans

the opportunity to have the credit check mailed to them at their address or to be given to the

student in BC Central. Credits on student accounts with a parent plus loan and no student

account authorization on file will result in the check being mailed to the parent within the

federal guideline timeframe.

WITHDRAWAL

Students must complete a formal request to withdraw from the College. Students may

withdraw from Bluefield College at any time and should begin the process in BC Central.

Withdrawals may have an effect on a student’s financial aid, student account and academic

record. To be considered for any refund of tuition and fees, a student must request and

complete the withdrawal form, which may be obtained from BC Central and is located

on MyBC. At the same time, simply ceasing class attendance or participation (whether

officially or unofficially withdrawing) will result in an administrative withdrawal and loss

of financial aid that the student has been awarded but has not earned for the period of non-

participation. (See “REFUNDS” section for additional information.)

REFUNDS AFTERWITHDRAWAL –

Traditional and Online Programs

Failure to properly withdraw will result in a loss of any refund. Withdrawal is not

the same as simply dropping classes during the routine drop/add period established by

the Registrar for each semester or sub-term. Dropping courses may change a student’s

full-time or part-time status, but dropping out of all courses for the semester or sub-term

constitutes a withdrawal. The timetable for withdrawal accompanied by a partial refund is
