Refund Policy

Las Positas College Foundation (Foundation) is a recognized 501 c3 organization, which provides support for the philanthropic and programmatic activities of Las Positas College (College). The Foundation is a tax-exempt, nonprofit organization (FEIN 71-0942040).  Transactions processed by the LPC Foundation on behalf of all organizations and activities, including, but not limited to college departments, institutes, centers, clubs, organizations, projects and programs are covered by this policy.

Gifts:
Generally, charitable gifts are not refundable.  For donations made using the LPC Foundation’s giving website, any special requests must be submitted in writing for consideration to within forty-five (45) days of the gift.  Requests for changes in the designation of your gift should also be made to: rseveral@laspositascollege.edu. Individuals who receive refunds have the responsibility of correcting any tax filings they have made reflecting the refunded amount.

If the purpose for which the gift is given cannot be fulfilled, your gift will be designated toward a fund that most closely resembles the stated purpose.  Where possible, the donor will be consulted.  In rare circumstances, with the approval of the Foundation’s Executive Board of Directors, a gift may be refunded by the LPC Foundation.

Refunds are generally returned using the original method of payment.  If you made your donation by credit card, your refund will be credited to that same credit card.

Event Registrations:
Cancellations for registrations for events, classes, workshops, or other events sponsored by the Las Positas College Foundation are based on this policy unless otherwise noted on the registration website.

Registration Cancellation by Participant:
Refunds of registration fees, less an administrative fee of five dollars ($5.00), will be given for cancellations received at least seven (7) business days prior to the event.  The individual must notify the event host or LPC Foundation (rseveral@laspositascollege.edu) electronically or in writing that they will not be attending the event and their request for a refund.  The administrative fee is assessed per participant/ticket.  Special circumstances will be taken into consideration.

If the individual decides to not attend the event and would like the fee to become a charitable contribution for tax purposes, the individual must notify the event host or LPC Foundation electronically or in writing that they will not be attending the event and that they wish to donate the event cost as a charitable contribution.  This notification must be made prior to the event.

Refunds will not be available to registrants who choose to cancel their registration or choose not to attend an event less than seven (7) business days prior to the event.  Special circumstances will be taken into consideration.

Event registrations through a third-party website, such as Ticketmaster or EventBrite, are covered by that website’s refund policy regardless of the sponsorship by LPC Foundation.

Memberships are generally not refundable.  Refunds will be made in the event of an error on the part of CSUN Foundation.
