Refunds
Students who change enrollment or residency plans may be eligible for a refund of tuition, fees, room, or board charges. The Refund Policy outlines the circumstances under which a refund is applicable and the procedures a student must follow to secure a refund. Full or partial refunds may be given to students who drop courses, completely withdraw from the University, or change to commuter status.
During the first week of classes, those undergraduate students who drop below full-time enrollment (12 hours) or drop extra hours for which they have been charged, as well as those part-time students who drop hours, will be eligible for a 100% refund or tuition of dropped classes and some fees. No record of enrollment for the class or classes will appear on a student’s permanent record.
After the published 100% refund deadline students are allowed to withdraw from a class or classes, but no refund will be made for individually dropped courses. A grade of W is posted to the student’s permanent record for classes from which the student withdrawals after the 100% deadline.
Upon registration, each student accepts all University policies regarding refunds outlined in the Refund Policy brochure. You are, therefore, encouraged to view the refund policy brochure.
