Cost Considerations

Non-Payment, Drop/Add, Withdrawals, Refunds

Failure to pay in full may result in registration dropped for non-payment, additional late payment fees, registration holds, and academic documents withheld. 

The IEC follows St. Cloud State policies regarding drop/add dates, withdrawals, & refunds. Students will receive refunds according to the schedule and policies posted, minus a $25 non-refundable placement testing fee for new students. Students must complete orientation, testing, and meet any financial obligations stipulated by the IEC program in order to register. Withdrawal form the program past the drop date will result in a grade of "W" on your transcripts and full financial obligation.

Important: Speak with our staff before dropping your classes.
