Students are responsible for familiarizing themselves with university policies regarding adding or dropping courses and refund of tuition and fees. Refunds are granted only after the official withdrawal procedure has been completed.
In processing tuition refunds for degree students who drop or withdraw from classes, the following schedule applies:
| When course is dropped |
Percentage of tuition refunded |
Before semester begins |
100% |
Through the first week of semester |
90% |
Through the second week of semester |
80% |
Through the third week of semester |
70% |
Through the fourth week of semester |
60% |
After the fourth week of semester |
No refund |
Refund calculations will be applied to the reduction in credits that occurs after a course is dropped, rather than to the difference in tuition. This has no effect on tuition charged per credit only, but it does affect tuition charged using a flat rate. Full-time students charged a flat-rate tuition whose credits drop below the full-time credit load might not receive a tuition refund under certain circumstances. If you meet these criteria, you may want to contact Student Financial Services in advance to discuss the implications for your account. Financial aid may also be affected.
Students receiving federal financial aid and withdrawing during a semester are subject to a Title IV recalculation of aid. Federal aid eligibility is determined based on the student's last date of attendance in class. Title IV recalculations may result in the loss of all or some
federal loans and federal grants. Students subject to recalculations will be sent a revised award letter indicating any change in federal aid.
Refunds are granted only after the official withdrawal procedure has been completed or the university determines you are no longer enrolled. Refund processing takes approximately four weeks.
Failure to complete payment prior to withdrawal does not relieve you of financial liability.
