Credit Balance Refunds
Credits that are the result of overpayments or excess financial aid will be refunded to the student by check. Credits that are the result of a Parent Plus loan or payments through Academic Management Services (AMS) will be refunded to the parent, or as directed on a Refund Request Form. Refunds are not available for processing until the drop/add period ends for each semester. A Refund Request Form must be completed in order for a refund check to be issued.
A Statement of Authorization and Certification must be on file before a refund check will be issued.
Withdrawal Refund Policy
Registration in the University is considered a contract binding the student and/or his/her parents for charges for the entire semester. The University makes a number of financial commitments based on enrollment. Many of these commitments do not change even if students subsequently withdraw. However, in order to accommodate those exceptional situations, which require withdrawal, the University will allow prorated refunds to students who follow the official procedures for withdrawing from the University. Scholarships and other financial aid will be prorated in accordance with appropriate regulations and a separate refund schedule.
Withdrawal procedures: Non-attendance of class does not constitute withdrawal. Any student who withdraws from the university, regardless of the reason, must see the Dean of Students and complete the withdrawal process. Failure to officially withdraw will result in academic & financial penalties. Upon withdrawal from the university the student's identification card must be surrendered to the Dean of Students.
Tuition Refunds: Refunds are computed on total charges for tuition and fees. The official withdrawal date assigned by the Dean of Students will be used in calculating all refunds.
