The refund will be the amount provided under Georgia State Law, which states: The refund shall be any amount the student paid for instruction in excess of tuition owed for instruction received. To determine the refund, the amount the student was charged for instruction is divided by the number of hours of instruction in the particular term in which the student is enrolled. The quotient is the hourly charge for instruction. The amount owed by the student for the purpose of calculating a refund is served by multiplying the total hours of instruction received by the student up through his/her last day of attendance by the hourly charge for instruction.
