Refund Policy

Financial Services' Policy on the Reduction of Charges (Fall and Spring Semesters only)

Undergraduate students must notify the Director of Student Transition & the First Year Center or the Registrar (Graduate Students notify the Graduate Studies Office) in person, in writing, or by telephone of their intention to withdraw from an individual course, all classes for the semester, or the program. Reduction of tuition charges will be determined based on this date of notification. Continued class attendance or academic contact after this date will cause this later date to be considered as the official withdrawal date. Dates for determining reduction of fall and spring tuition charges are as follows:

  • Withdrawal within the 1st week of classes - 100% reduction
  • Withdrawal within the 2nd week of classes - 90% reduction
  • Withdrawal within the 3rd week of classes - 80% reduction
  • Withdrawal within the 4th week of classes - 50% reduction
  • Withdrawal within the 5th and 6th week of classes - 25% reduction

Recipients of Federal student aid who withdraw from all classes in a semester (term withdrawal) earn eligibility for Federal student aid on a daily proportional basis up until 60% of the semester has passed. All days during the semester (except for breaks of 5 days or more and their attendant weekends) are counted. If a student has not earned all of their Federal assistance, funds are returned to Federal Programs in the following order: Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loans, Subsidized Federal Stafford Loans, Perkins Loans, Federal PLUS Loans, other Title IV assistance.

No reduction in tuition, room and board, or course fees is made in the case of late entrance, absence or dismissal.

Refunds will be processed by the original method of payment.
