SCE Accounting has begun to receive Refund Petitions for winter 200825 classes which have been dropped. As a reminder, no winter refunds will be processed until the 3rd week of the term which will be January 20, 2009. January 19 is a holiday. This information applies to both cancelled classes and dropped classes for which the student is petitioning for a refund.

The refund process could take up to 8 weeks as the checks are cut by the Fullerton College bursar office. Please keep this in mind when assisting students. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call Melda Lara, Account Clerk at the Wilshire campus at x29522. Thank you.

The process of dropping students for non-payment of fees incurred in web registration has begun. As a reminder, the drop for non-payment process goes into effect 72 hours after registration. If you have calls or questions from students, please remind them that they will be dropped if payment is not received within 72 hours.

If you have any questions, please contact Melda Lara at the Wilshire campus x29522 or at mlara@sce.edu

Thank you.

As mentioned in the registration meeting on Wednesday, SCE is launching a campaign to collect accurate MIS data from our students. Below is a list of talking points to use with students when asking them to provide information:

• Our funding is provided by the State of California and it is directly related to student data
• When we provide this data to the State, we can demonstrate that SCE is a great educational resource to the community
• Based on these reports, the State sends funds to SCE to support classes, often with little or no cost to the students.
• All student records, including personal and demographic information, are maintained in accordance with the Family Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. Student records are not released to outside parties without separate written consent of the student.

Students can update their information using any ONE of the following methods:

• Fill out the “Updated Personal Information” record
• Punch in your Social Security Number (SSN) in our secure electronic keypads at the admissions and registration (A&R) desk ast each campus. Provide A&R staff with other updated information items (such as address, name, email, phone, etc.) to update in our system.
• Visit myGateway to update your information. Log onto: http://mygateway.nocccd.edu and personally update your information.
