Are tuition refunds taxable income?

Good day, I've been wondering about the tax implications of tuition refunds. I understand that when we pay tuition, it's not considered taxable income. But what about when we receive refunds for tuition payments? Are tuition refunds taxable income? I'm asking because I recently received a refund from my educational institution and I'm not sure if I need to report it on my tax return. Could you please clarify this matter for me? Thank you in advance for your assistance.
