Student Financial Appeal Committee

Email: SCAppeals@macomb.edu

A student who has previously requested a Special Refund through the Director of Enrollment Services/Registrar has a right to appeal this decision through the Student Financial Appeal Committee. The appeal must be initiated within 60 days from the last day of the semester in which the dispute/charge was incurred. No requests for appeals will be accepted after that time period.

As noted in the Tuition & Fees section of this catalog, Refunds Under Special Circumstance are defined as follows:
Students who must withdraw from a class after the 7th calendar day due to hospitalization, accidental injury, prolonged illness, mandatory shift change at the student’s place of full‑time employment (does not include mandatory overtime) and mandatory move of employment which necessitates a change of residency (does not include new employer), may receive a 100% refund of tuition, course fees and registration fee in the form of a credit voucher upon presentation of documentation satisfactory to the College. However, if the student is receiving financial aid, a refund may not be issued due to Federal regulatory requirements.

NOTE: Part‑time employment, part‑time to full‑time employment, new employment, recalled employment and mandatory overtime hours do not qualify for an appeal.

The Student Financial Appeal Committee is comprised of the Director of Financial Services, Dean of Student Success, and Director of Financial Aid. A student must submit the appeal in writing (email accepted), stating his/her reasons for appealing the decision and specifics of the remedy they are requesting. Documentation to support the claim is required unless previously submitted with the initial request for a refund.

The Student Financial Appeal Committee will review the appeal within 10 business days of receipt.

The decision of the Student Financial Appeal Committee will be final, with no further appeal possible.
