If you score less than 10.0 on any section, you are encouraged to study and/or receive tutoring to improve your score.  You may re-take any low sections after two weeks have passed.  The first retake is free.  Subsequent retakes are $10.00 each, regardless of number of sections retested.

You will need to complete a registration form and submit it to the Community Education Office with your payment. You will be expected to pay all tuition, books, and fees at the time of registration unless other arrangements have been made in advance. No student will be allowed to register for a class until all previous financial obligations have been met.

Withdrawal and Refund Policy

If you are considering withdrawal from DMTC you are encouraged to discuss the situation with your instructor or the Community Education coordinator.  Any student who withdraws from DMTC should obtain a withdrawal form from the  instructor or the Community Education office.  The withdrawal form must be completed and submitted to the Community Education Office to complete the withdrawal process.  Student records will not be released until the withdrawal process is completed and all financial obligations are cleared.  It is your responsibility to keep DMTC informed of any changes in class schedule or enrollment.

When you enroll in a program or class, you reserve a place which cannot be made available to another student.  To be eligible for a refund, a student must officially drop the program/class and apply for a refund prior to the date when 15% of the scheduled class time has occurred.  The responsibility to apply for a refund rests entirely with the student.

When a registered student withdraws, the following will occur:

  • No refund will be given for fees and other obligations not retrievable by the institution.  Other non-retrievable fees are addressed in specific programs.
  • A one hundred percent refund, less specified non-refundable fees if the student withdraws before the class/program start date.
  • A one hundred percent refund, less specified non-refundable fees and a refund processing fee of 10 percent of tuition, not to exceed $50, if the student is enrolled in more than 15 credits and withdraws prior to 4:00 p.m. of the fifth school day of enrollment.
  • A one hundred percent refund, less specified non-refundable fees and a refund processing fee of 7.5 percent of tuition, not to exceed $50, if the student is enrolled in less than 15 credits and withdraws prior to 4:00 p.m. of the fifth school day of enrollment.
  • No refund will be given once 15 percent or more of the scheduled time for the class has elapsed.
  • A textbook refund may be given for textbooks returned in new, unmarked condition.
  • Records will not be released until all financial obligations to DMTC are fulfilled.
