Special Refunds:
If unforeseen circumstances require you to withdraw from all your classes after the official refund deadline, you may request a partial refund if you meet one of the following criteria and obtain the required documentation.
- Serious illness or injury: A written statement from your physician verifying that your illness or injury prevents you from attending classes.
- Death of a family member: A copy of the death certificate. Pima defines a family member as a spouse, child, parent, sibling, grandparent, grandchild or in-law.
- Military transfer: A copy of your transfer orders, verifying that the transfer was unforeseen before the official semester drop dates.
- Other: In the event of extenuating circumstances not covered above, the campus president or a designee can review other requests.
Special refund requests must be made in writing, at the Admissions Office of the campus where you take classes. Make your request during the semester you withdraw; requests made after the end of the semester will not be honored.

Return of Financial Aid (Title IV Funds):
Federal financial aid recipients who completely withdraw from Pima courses before 60 percent of the enrollment period has passed must return part of the funds received. During that time, you get to keep federal funds in proportion to the amount of time you are enrolled. For instance, if you withdraw 30 percent of the way through a semester, you get to keep 30 percent of your aid, and must return the remaining 70 percent.
This policy is based on U.S. Department of Education regulations, and is subject to change if federal regulations change.
