Refund Policy for Disruption to Campus Housing/Dining Services
The College’s process to determine housing and dining plan credits in the case of campus closure is described below. This policy does not apply to short-duration emergency closures due to inclement weather.
For continuing students, credits will be applied to your student account to offset future charges or be refunded upon request. Graduating seniors will have their housing and meal credits refunded to you.

Meal Plans
Meal plan credits will be based on a pro-rated amount of unused meal plan swipes for the remaining weeks of the semester. Here is an example if there were 7 weeks remaining in a 16-week semester:
If the swipes-portion of your meal plan is $1,350, you would receive a credit of $591 (swipe cost of $1,350 X 7/16 weeks). Swipe credits will be applied to your student billing account for credit against current or future charges. Graduating seniors are eligible for a cash refund post-graduation after all outstanding charges are applied.
Additionally, all your remaining Dining Dollars will be transferred to a separate account on your R-Card that can be used for your continued time at Rollins. These funds will not expire until you separate from Rollins. Graduating seniors will have their remaining Dining Dollars credited to their student billing account if they are graduating during the period when the closure occurs (i.e. not in future semesters). -
Housing
Housing credits will be based on the cost of the room you selected and the remaining weeks of the semester. Following the same example above, if you lived in a double room with a community bathroom, your credit would be $1,859 (room cost of $4,250 X 7/16 weeks). Housing credits will be applied to student billing accounts for credit against current or future charges, graduating seniors are eligible for a cash refund post-graduation after all outstanding charges are applied.

If you owe a balance to the College
If you owe a balance to the College, including any unpaid balance on a payment plan, the pro-rated housing and meal credit will be applied to the amount that is still outstanding. There is a possibility that the amount you currently owe offsets the total credit, which would result in no refund.

If you receive financial aid that covers room and board
If you received institutional aid (scholarships/grants from Rollins) in combination with other scholarships and grants that fully covers room and board (i.e. you did not pay anything out-of-pocket), you will not be eligible to receive a credit or refund as the institutional aid awarded to you will be adjusted accordingly.
If the amount of room and board was partially covered by scholarships and grants, then a pro-rated adjustment to the aid will be determined and applied to your account which would result in partial credit.
