Students who withdraw or are withdrawn from class may be entitled to partial/full tuition refund, (usually fees are not refundable) and refunds will be disbursed in full (NOTE: Not attending classes does NOT constitute a formal withdrawal). Students will receive refunds for overpayments and/or withdrawal from classes or institutions without any additional constituted administrative fees charged. Students may receive refunds on late registration fees, any private scholarships, late payment fees, deferred payment fees, or application fees within three (3) business days of the initial application filing. After three (3) business days, no refunds of fees will be issued, even if matriculation or registration does not occur. Students are accountable for charges for non-payment, default payment fees, and any charges for returned checks.
In the case of course cancellation, the institution will notify each student of the cancellation and recommend other coursework as a replacement. However, if this process is not satisfactorily implemented and the course change is not completed prior to the first day of a class, the institution will refund the full tuition for the canceled course to the student, without the need to file a Tuition Refund Request. Otherwise, a dated and signed Tuition Refund Request form must be submitted to the Registrar's Office in order to begin the process of refunding tuition. The Office of Business Affairs may consider refunds on an individual basis where extenuating circumstances exist, such as student injury, prolonged illness or death, or other circumstances which prohibit completion of the course or program of study.
Terms of Refunds
Refunds are calculated based upon the date on which the student began the official withdrawal or drop process by submitting a dated and signed Tuition Refund Request Form to the Registrar's Office. Refunds are determined based on the proportion of tuition and the percentage of programs completed at withdrawal, as described below. If the student has begun the official withdrawal process and the Tuition Refund Request Form is received and recorded by the Registrar's Office, the refund policy is as follows:
● Within three business days after the initial application:
100% of tuition and fees (with the exception of non-refundable application fees)
● After 3 days of initial application and during the first week of a semester:
90% of tuition (no fees refunded after this point)
during the second week of a semester: 80% of tuition
during the third week: 70% of tuition
during the fourth week: 60% of tuition
during the fifth week: 50% of tuition
*NOTE: NO REFUNDS WILL BE ISSUED AFTER THE FIFTH WEEK OF A SEMESTER*
