To obtain a tuition refund, you are required to submit a written application to the Office of the Registrar. The date on which the application is filed is considered the official date of withdrawal. Please note non-attendance in classes does not waive the tuition liability incurred at registration. Students should allow approximately eight weeks for refund checks to be processed and mailed.

Refunds are given based on the following:

Resignations
In the case of resignation from a course or courses during the semester, the following rate schedule applies:

 

  • Resignation filed with the Office of the Registrar before the first day of classes, 100 percent reduction in tuition liability
  • Resignation filed within the first week of classes, 75 percent reduction in tuition liability
  • Resignation filed within the second week of classes, 50 percent reduction in tuition liability
  • Resignation filed within the third week of classes, 25 percent reduction in tuition liability
  • Resignation filed after the third week of classes, no reduction in tuition liability 

The Summer Session refund schedule is listed in the Summer Session Schedule.

 

Administrative Cancellations
Students are entitled to full refunds in the event that courses are withdrawn or registration is canceled by the College.
