To qualify for in-state tuition, a student (or the parents or legal guardian if the student is under 23 years old and not emancipated) must have been domiciled in Colorado for 12 or more continuous months immediately preceding the first day of classes. Domicile for tuition purposes is determined by two factors: the ability to show a permanent place of residence in Colorado and the ability to demonstrate intent to remain in Colorado. Several ways to prove intent to remain include providing evidence such as:

A. Paying Colorado income taxes

B. Being permanently employed in Colorado C. Owning residential Colorado real estate

D. Holding a Colorado driver’s license or vehicle registration E. Registering to vote

NON-COLORADORESIDENTSmay attend Pickens Technical College, but under the provisions of the Colorado Statute 23-7-101 to 104, must pay out-of-state tuition when enrolled in state supported programs, which is two times the in-state rate.

A student may officially drop from a class or program during the first 15 percent of class without having a grade recorded. Students who withdraw from class or a program after the first 15 percent are not eligible for tuition refund, and will have a grade of “W” recorded in the permanent records.

Students who plan to discontinue class attendance should complete a withdrawal form in person at the Registration Office as soon as possible after the decision has been made to discontinue attendance.

Students may not withdraw from a course after 75 percent of the scheduled time of the course has been completed. A letter grade will be given.

A student’s record will not be released until the drop/withdrawal procedure is completed. It is the student’s responsibility to keep the Registration Office informed of any change in class schedule.

Veterans and Students on Financial Aid Programs must notify the Pickens Technical College Financial Aid Office immediately of withdrawals, drops, or any changes in the program or class schedules. Notification of changes must be sent to funding agencies. Please contact the Financial Aid Office for assistance.

The refund policy for Pickens Technical College is based on the fact that tuition provides approximately 25 percent of the cost of education. When a student enrolls in a program/class, he/she reserves a place which cannot be made available to another student until he/she officially drops the program/class. In addition, a student’s original enrollment represents a sizable cost to the State of Colorado whether or not he/she continues in the program/class. To be eligible for a tuition refund, a student must officially drop the program/class and apply for a refund within the refund time period. There is a processing period of approximately three to four weeks from the time a student requests a tuition refund to the time the refund check is mailed.

* One hundred percent(100%) refund, less $20.00 processing fee, is granted to students for classes dropped from the first day of class through refund date. Refund date is the date when 15% of the semester has occurred.

* No refund will be given for fees and other obligations not retrievable by the institution. * No refund will be given once 15% or more of the semester has elapsed.

* When the class section is canceled due to lack of enrollment or other causes, the school will notify the students who are entitled to a 100% refund. Students may come to the Registration/Records Office and choose from the class sections still available to substitute for the canceled class or apply for a refund. * Records will not be released until all obligations to Pickens Technical College are fulfilled.

* A student receiving financial aid who withdraws during the semester may be required to repay a portion of the financial aid. For more information concerning the methods of determining when a repayment may be due, contact the Financial Aid Office or refer to the Financial Aid Handbook. * Students whose tuition is being paid by an agency or third party are responsible for their tuition if the agency or third party does not pay.

Students not paying the balance due by the due date will not be allowed to re-enroll until the balance is paid in full and transcripts will not be issued.

Students desiring to complete an Associate of Applied Science Degree (A.A.S.) degree program, should complete the course for a certificate at Pickens Technical College and general education and/or other degree requirements at the participating community college from which the degree is earned. Depending on the course of study, credit in varying amounts from Pickens Technical College certificates can be applied toward the A.A.S. Management (Tech Management Emphasis) or Associate of Applied Science Applied Technology Degrees at the community colleges. Each Applied Technology and Applied Management Degree requires the completion of 60 semester hours. A maximum of 42 credits may be accepted by Community College of Aurora; the number varies by the certificate program and the degree selected.

In instances where the Pickens Technical College certificate program is less than 42 credits, sufficient credit must be earned through the Community College to meet the 60 credit hour minimum requirement for the Applied Technology degree. A minimum of 18 credits must be earned at the Community College to meet the 60 credit hour minimum requirement for the Applied Technology degree.

The Associate of Applied Science degree (A.A.S.) prepares students for career-ready employment in a given occupation or for upgrading skills. While these programs are not intended to fully transfer to baccalaureate degree programs, some courses may be accepted toward a bachelor’s degree at colleges and universities. Students are strongly urged to consult an academic advisor at the college of your choice and to consult the transfer guides and catalogs for the respective institutions.
