Payment of Fees

Fees may be paid in any of the following ways:

  • WebSMART: Mastercard, Visa, Discover or American Express
  • In Person at Cashier’s Office (Student Services Center, Bldg.  19-104): Cash, Check, Money Order or Credit Card

Fees are due and payable at the time of registration. Student records are automatically held until all debts to the District colleges have been cleared. Students are not able to register for classes if there’s an outstanding balance on the account. Students are expected to review their account on WebSMART regularly. Outstanding student account balances are subject to referral to a collection agency.

Refund Policy For Registration Fees

Eligibility

  • To be eligible for a credit or refund, a student must officially withdraw from a course within the stated deadline as displayed on WebSchedule for exact refund dates. If registration occurs after the refund date for a class, no refund will be available.
  • To check important dates for your course:
    • Visit WebSchedule.
    • Select your semester or term.
    • Enter in your CRN or course record number to find your course.
    • Click on the course name. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see important dates listed. Each class may have a different deadline date.
  • For summer or short courses, withdrawal must occur within the first 10% of the course (often this the first day).
  • If a student decides not to attend classes, it is their responsibility to officially withdraw within published deadlines to avoid penalty grades and fee obligations. A withdrawal initiated by a professor may not result in a refund.

Issuance & Balances

  • A student may either maintain a credit balance on account or request a refund.
  • Refunds are not issued automatically. Students must contact the Cashier's Office at (650) 738-4101 to request a refund.
  • Credit balances remain on student accounts for a maximum of five (5) years.

Processing

  • Fees paid by personal check(s) require 10 business days for bank clearance before refunds can be processed.

Financial Aid Refunds

  • Students who receive financial aid and withdraw from classes are advised to call the Financial Aid Office at (650) 738-4236 regarding possible repayment of federal funds if received prior to withdrawal.

Refunds Due to Action of College

  • Fees will be credited or refunded if an action of the College (e.g. class cancellation) prevents a student from attending.

Other Registration, Refund & Waiver

  • The Student Body Fee is refundable only within the same semester the fee is accessed.   Once registered, please follow the instruction emailed to you by the Skyline Cashier’s Office.  Forms are no longer accepted.
  • Variable Unit Courses: No enrollment fee or nonresident/international student tuition refund or credit will be available to students enrolled in variable unit courses who earn fewer unit of credit than the number for which they originally registered. Students earning additional units will be charged accordingly.
  • Exceptions to the refund policy may be authorized by petition to the Extenuating Circumstances Committee in cases of unique and extraordinary circumstances beyond the control of the student.
