2014-2015 Undergraduate Academic Catalog

Withdrawing From the University Proper withdrawal from the University begins in the Office of the Registrar, where the student completes an official withdrawal form. Refund requests should be submitted to the Cashiers Office after the official withdraw process has been completed, and all appropriate adjustments to the student’s registration has been completed. A student’s ID card and residence hall key must be returned to the Office of the Registrar on the last day the student is on campus. No student should leave Cedarville University without completing proper withdrawal through the Office of the Registrar. Student transcripts will be marked with the appropriate grade once withdrawal is complete in accordance with the established University policy. (See Adding and Withdrawing From a Course.) Withdrawal for Military Reasons Students serving in reserve units of the armed forces may be called up to active duty during an academic term. Students who withdraw up to the end of the fourth week of the semester will receive refunds according to the following schedule: Tuition: 100 percent Room: prorated on a per diem basis Board: prorated on a per diem basis Fees: 0 Students who withdraw after the fourth week of the semester may file a request for “permanent incomplete.” This classification provides students the opportunity to complete the course work upon returning to the University without having to pay tuition again. Forms may be picked up in the Office of the Registrar. Approval for the awarding and removal of the entry “permanent incomplete” resides with the Academic Vice President. Refunds for room, board, and fees will be disbursed according to the previously mentioned schedule.
