withdrawing from a course or courses will be granted a full tuition
refund to apply toward courses added. If the new total hours are
fewer than the original total, the above refund schedule will apply.
Board
Board charges will be refunded on a prorated weekly basis.
Board weeks begin on Sunday and end on Saturday. Board
refunds are computed based on the last day of residency. Board
contracts are required for all students living in the residence halls.
Students may choose from six available meal-plan options.
Room
Rooms are reserved for each student for an entire semester. No
refund of room rent is made except in cases of severe illness or
incapacity. Written confirmation of the illness or incapacity must
be provided by the director of University Medical Services or a
physician. Room rent will then be refunded on a prorated basis.
Other Fees
No other fees are refundable except for withdrawal within the
first calendar week of the semester.
Federal Refund Policy
A portion of Title IV grant or loan funds must be returned to the
Title IV programs upon a Title IV recipient’s withdrawal from the
school.
Withdrawal date
The day the student withdraws is the date (determined by the
school):
• The student began the withdrawal process prescribed by the
school;
• The student otherwise provided the school with official
notification of the intent to withdraw; or
• For the student who does not begin the school’s withdrawal
process or notify the school of the intent to withdraw, the mid-
point of the period of enrollment for which Title IV assistance
was disbursed (unless the institution can document a later
date).
