REFUND OF TUITION AND FEES

Students who officially drop or withdraw from classes will receive tuition and fee refunds as follows:

NOTE: Refunds are calculated based on liable credit hours.  Therefore, in some instances, a refund may not be applicable. Students are encouraged to better plan their schedules and retain their full-time status on their way to a timely and successful graduation.

• 100% before the first day of classes;
• 75% beginning the first day of classes through the fourteenth day (including weekends);
• 25% beginning the fifteenth (15th) day of classes through 25% of the term;
• 0% after the 25% refund period.

Please refer to the printed SCHEDULE OF CLASSES or the PAYMENT DEADLINES AND OTHER IMPORTANT DATES section of this website for the 100%, 75% and 25% refund dates for each term.

FAILURE TO SUBMIT A DROP OR WITHDRAWAL FORM TO THE RECORDS OFFICE COULD RESULT IN THE FORFEITURE OF ANY REFUND.

EXCEPTIONS:

• 100% will be refunded for classes canceled by the University.
• 100% will be refunded in the case of death of the student.
•     0%  will be refunded if a student is dismissed or suspended.

• Room and board charges will be prorated on a weekly basis when a student is forced to withdraw from a residence hall because of personal medical reasons confirmed in writing by a licensed physician, or at the request of the University for other than disciplinary reasons. A week consists of at least three (3) days.

APPEAL PROCEDURES are in place such that a student may appeal the assessment, application, calculation, or interpretation of any University fee, charge, deposit or refund, or any University action connected with fees or charges. Questions should be discussed with personnel in the Bursar’s Office. A written appeal can be made to the Office of the Vice President of Business and Finance, whose determination may be appealed to the President of the University. The decision of the President is final.
