Updated: January 9, 2018
The refund date is calculated from the “Begin Date” listed on the class schedule and includes Saturday and Sunday. A Tuesday/
Thursday class within a 16-week session would start counting on the “Begin Date” (normally Monday) to reach the refund date. The
Lone Star College System offers more than 30 sessions within any long semester (fall and spring). Because of this fact, Admissions &
Records staff cannot provide or guarantee a generic date or number of days for refund dates or last day to drop dates. Refund dates in
mini-mesters, summer sessions, late starts, and fast tracks have a very short window due to the length of the weeks within the session.
