policies/procedures manual. Affected students will be notified of the calculation used at the time a tuition refund is applied to their accounts. Petitions for exceptions to the refund policy must be submitted to the Enrollment Services office prior to the end of the quarter in which tuition and fees were paid. Students who wish to be considered for a refund beyond regular deadlines must withdraw from the courses, and submit this petition with supporting documentation. The following circumstances are given the strongest consideration: a call to active military duty due to national emergency, a severe and unexpected illness which began during the term and precludes any and all activity, and death of an immediate family member.
Fines and Debts The college may block registration and/or withhold other services until all outstanding fines and debts to the college are resolved.
STUDENT RECORDS Student Identification Numbers EvCC assigns a nine-digit number as the primary student identification number (ctcLink SID number). To comply with the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, EvCC must also obtain your correct social security number (SSN) to file returns with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and to furnish an annual statement to you that contains information about tuition and fees that may qualify for Hope Scholarship or Lifetime Learning tax credit. The Privacy Act of 1974, section 6109 of the Internal Revenue Code, requires that you give your correct SSN to agencies, which must file information returns to the IRS. For more information, please refer to Internal Revenue Code Section 6050S. EvCC also uses your SSN to support verification of
your enrollment, degree(s) and transcripts, administer financial aid, collect student debt, and conduct research. When conducting studies or using agencies to support records transactions, EvCC will only use your SSN in a manner that does not permit personal identification of you by other than authorized representatives. By providing your SSN you are consenting to the uses described above. However, you are not required to consent to the use of your SSN for research; if you choose not to do so you will not be denied access to EvCC. You may revoke your consent at any time by writing to the Enrollment Services office.
Transcripts An official transcript is a copy of the student’s academic record bearing the college seal and the signature of the Registrar from Everett Community College. Upon request, a sealed copy of an official transcript may be given to the student or delivered directly to the receiving party from Everett Community College. An unofficial transcript is an unsigned and unsealed copy of the student’s record and is used primarily for advising purposes. For information on how to purchase an official transcript or access an unofficial transcript, please visit EverettCC.edu/Transcripts. EvCC will not accept transcript requests by fax, email, or by telephone.
