Full Withdrawal from All Classes During Fall and Spring Semesters

To cancel a registration or to withdraw at any time other than the close of the semester, the student is required to secure written permission from the appropriate Dean and to present such authorization to the Registrar’s Office. No refunds are made without an honorable dismissal from the Dean. Discontinuation of class attendance, nonpayment of student accounts, or notification to an instructor of withdrawal does not constitute an official withdrawal and refunds will not be made on the basis of such an action. In such instances, the student is responsible for the payment of his account in full.

Students who withdraw from the university during the fall or spring semester with written permission from the Academic Dean are allowed a refund of tuition and refundable fees as follows: No refunds are made after the fourth week of class.

Refund Policy

Withdrawal Refund Schedule

All monies due the university by students at the time of withdrawal are due and payable immediately. To obtain a refund of tuition and refundable fees, students must also return their student identity card. No refunds are made on general fees. Resident students must secure clearance from the Office of Student Affairs before a refund is made.

The date used to calculate refunds is that on which students begin the withdrawal process with the Dean, the Registrar’s Office or the Office of Financial Aid. Students have 48 hours from the time they initiate the process to acquire all signatures and return the withdrawal form to the Registrar’s Office. Certain exceptions to the policies may be approved in specific instances (e.g., when a student is drafted or incurs serious injury or illness). Such matters should be referred to the appropriate Academic Office. Please allow thirty days for processing of refunds.
