Tuition Refund

Students who drop a class or withdraw from all classes during an enrollment period may receive a tuition refund credit based on the following schedule. For students who receive federal financial aid and withdraw, drop out, or are dismissed from school, a refund will be calculated based on federal guidelines for returning Title IV funds and the following schedule, a basic outline. Full regulations are on file in the Business Office. Refund examples are also available in the Business Office and will be provided upon request.

Credit for institutional charges for fall and spring semesters, as well as for each session of Evening College and Summer School, will be made according to the Refund Calendar. See Refund Calendar.

Charges are prorated from the first scheduled class period until actual withdrawal. There is no credit for temporary absences. Dropped labs or special fees, unless non-refundable, will be prorated based on the above schedule.

Institutional aid refunds will be calculated on the same basis as tuition (stated above). In no case will institutional funds generate a refund greater than the amount of personal funds received. In some cases, a withdrawal or a dropped class may result in a balance owed to the University.

Check with the Registrar’s Office, Financial Aid, and the Business Office before dropping a class(es) or withdrawing from the University completely to discuss academic and financial ramifications.
