Important Information About Deregistration

Reading Area Community College will enforce a policy for students that fail to complete the necessary financial obligations. Effective immediately students must have the following completed by the first published payment due date or you will be dropped from your registered classes:

  • All paperwork must be complete and filed in the Financial Aid Office
  • 50% of your balance must be paid either by a Financial Aid award or by
    payment from you directly or sponsorship through an approved third party payer.

You may register prior to completing the steps if prior to the first payment due date, however, if you register after the first payment due date, then payment is expected within 48 hours. If you are dropped from your scheduled classes it is very likely that your original class schedule will no longer be available. Please make sure all of your paperwork is complete and 50% of your balance is paid timely.
It is still the student’s responsibility to officially withdraw prior to the first day of the semester in order to receive a full refund of tuition and fees.
