The university operates on an annual budget that necessitates advance planning and financial commitments to teaching staff and other essential services. For this reason, no semester charges are removed for those persons who are dismissed from the college for disciplinary reasons. Likewise, students who withdraw from the college, even for illness or other emergencies, receive no refunds of room rent or fees. The date of withdrawal used to compute a student’s balance is the last date of attendance. The student who leaves school at one date and waits to withdraw officially at a later date receives appropriate adjustments based on the date of official withdrawal. For an explanation of the procedures for official withdrawal, consult the catalog section on Academic Policies.
Tuition charges will be refunded in full, subject to any required return of Title IV funding, for graduate students who officially withdraw on or before the third day of the semester. Any deposits or required fees will be forfeited. No tuition will be refunded to students in graduate courses who fail to withdraw officially, or who withdraw officially after the third day of the semester, subject to any required return of Title IV funding. Graduate students who withdraw after the third day of the semester may actually owe more for their charges, based on required return of Title IV federal funds calculations.
