Tuition Refund Policy

 

Students dropping courses or officially withdrawing during the semester are eligible to receive a refund as follows:

Dropping Courses

SUMMER 2012

Session A (May 21 through August 7) -- Friday, May 25th

Session B (June 4 through July 3) -- Tuesday, June 5th

Session C (July 9 through August 7) -- Tuesday, July 10th

FALL 2012

Semester Timetable Potential Refund Status
From pre-registration
through August 24, 2012
If finalized, 100% of tuition and student/course fees less registration fee or installment plan fee, if applicable.
 
August 25, 2012 to the last day of class NO REFUND

 

Refund percentages are applied to total charges assessed and not the amount paid. Once the refund of charges is applied to the student’s account, there may be a balance due to the University or a credit due to the student. Rarely does refunding of charges result in the student’s account having a zero balance. A zero balance would require no action by either the University or the student. Once a student registers, the student is responsible for the total charges assessed regardless of whether the installment plan is used.

The tuition refund policy is subject to change(s) made by the Office of Business Affairs and does not apply to complete withdrawal from the University.

A student who drops courses up through August 24, 2012 will be given a 100% refund. Keep in mind, however, that dropping a course or courses can lead to a change in enrollment status (full-time to part-time), which could lead to changes in federal aid, scholarships, athletic eligibility or veteran’s benefits. Classes added will be posted to your account as additional billed hours and may be subject to additional tuition and/or fees. Please refer to the tuition and fee schedule.

A student who drops courses after August 24, 2012 will not receive a refund.

If your class starts before or after August 20, 2012 the refund dates may differ, please check with the Business Office to see if you are eligible for a refund.

Official Withdrawal

Any student wishing to withdraw from the University should make an appointment with the Academic Support Center. A complete withdrawal form is required. When the student drops or withdraws to zero credit hours and had been awarded financial aid, the Office of Business Affairs will adhere to Federal regulations following the refund schedule provided by the Office of Financial Aid (as mandated by the reauthorization of the U.S. Title IV Program). Not attending classes does not constitute an official withdrawal.

A withdrawal may result in financial responsibility for the remainder of the balance due on your account.
