Refund Policy

 

A student who wants to initiate leave of absence or withdrawal procedures must obtain the Notification of Student Leave of Absence/Withdrawal forming the Learning and Advising Center. A student is considered in attendance until this formal notification completed and returned to the Registrar. Tuition charges for students who withdraw from the University will be refunded on the following basis:

Undergraduate Day and Online

Before classes start  100%
First week of class  80%
Second week of class  60%
Third week of class  40%
Beginning of fourth week of class  0%

Undergraduate Evening

Prior to the first class meeting  100%
Prior to second class meeting  80%
Prior to third class meeting  60%
Prior to fourth class meeting  40%
After fourth class meeting  0%

Online classes follow the undergraduate day refund policy regardless of log-in status. The University uses federal regulations to determine the refund of federal financial aid funds to the federal government. 

Any student who withdraws or changes credit hours or room and board status after the semester begins is obligated for a full semester’s room charge. Board will be charged to the official date of withdrawal, plus an additional charge of 25 percent of the unused portion. The effective date for calculating refunds will be the effective date indicated on the Notification of Student Leave of Absence/Withdrawal form. Failure to complete this withdrawal form results in an unofficial withdrawal. Refunds, transcripts and recommendations will be withheld by the University until this official form is received.

Students dismissed from the University or from the residence halls will receive the following refunds:

1. Tuition pro-rated from date of dismissal.
2. Room and board pro-rated from date of dismissal, less 25 percent of the unused portion.

Refunds for medical reasons will be reviewed on an individual basis. If approved, these refunds will be pro-rated from the date of medical condition. All refunds will be paid within 30 days of graduation or withdrawal/dismissal.
