Enrollment & Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

McDowell Technical Community College does not sell or disclose student information to third parties.

For more information, please see the Privacy Policy published on our Privacy of Student Records

Withdrawal & Refund Policy

The Refund Policy is established by the NC General Assembly for all NC community colleges. If any courses are cancelled by MTCC, a full refund will be given. Students do not have to request a refund in this case.

Refund requests and withdrawals must be made in writing by the student (no exceptions).  A request for refund and withdrawal may be done by letter or email.

  • A 100-percent refund shall be made if the student officially withdraws from a course before the first date of the course meeting. A written request must be dated and received by the Continuing Education department, or instructor before the first date of course meeting.
  • A 75-percent refund shall be made if the student officially withdraws from a course before, or on the "10-percent date" of scheduled hours.

A written request by email must be dated and received by the Continuing Education department, or instructor before or on the "10-percent date" of scheduled hours. Students are responsible for obtaining the "10-percent date" from their instructor on the first course meeting.

Refund requests should be emailed to tmbuff54@go.mcdowelltech.edu
