Refund Policy

• Students who make schedule changes during the add/drop period (first five days of classes) will be charged for the added class and/or credited the cost of the dropped class.

• Students who make schedule changes during the first five days of classes will be assessed a one-time per semester schedule change fee of $50.00.

• No refunds are given to students who make schedule changes after the first week of classes, but remain in school.

• Students completely withdrawing from school within the add/drop period (first five days of classes) will receive a refund of tuition and fees assessed, based on the withdrawal refund schedule. Withdrawal refunds are computed based upon the date the Registrar receives the completed/correctly executed withdrawal form. Withdrawal computations are not effective the date the student stops attending classes. The refund must be claimed during the semester in which the refund applies.

Withdrawal Refund Schedule:                                                    Percent of Fee

     Fall and Spring Semester

Complete withdrawal during first week of classes …………………………… 80%

Complete withdrawal during second or third week of classes ………… 50%

Complete withdrawal after third week of classes …………………………no refund

     *Summer Session

*The summer refund policy as stated above assumes the student is enrolled for the eight-week session only. Please refer to the refund policy as written in the summer class schedule for the specific refund policy.

Failure to attend classes does not constitute a withdrawal. Students must officially withdraw in the Registrar’s office to be eligible for a refund.

If it is determined the student is eligible for a refund, the funds will be refunded directly to the student only after all charges have been applied to the account. If, however payment has been made either partially or fully by financial aid (scholarships, grants, or loans) or another source (i.e. Vocational Rehabilitation), the refund will be refunded to the financial aid source(s) up to 100 percent of the original aid amount. After restoring the financial aid or other source to its original amount, any excess of refund monies will be returned to the student.

Students who feel that individual circumstances warrant exceptions from this policy may appeal in writing to the University Bursar. This appeal must be made during the semester in which the refund applies.
