Tuition & Fees Refund Policy
Students are required to pay all, or a portion, of their tuition and fees for any registered course unless enrollment is officially cancelled prior to the start of university classes. If a student does cancel prior to the start of university classes, 100% of tuition and fees will be refunded.
Withdrawal or cancellation occurs on the calendar day that the withdrawal is requested online or in person at the Office of the Registrar. The university provides a pro-rated refund for students withdrawing within the first four weeks of classes during the fall and spring semesters. Please see the table below for information regarding refunds.
Full-Semester Courses
| Timing | Refund Percentage |
|---|---|
| Before classes begin | 100% |
| Withdraw during 1st week | 90% |
| Withdraw during 2nd week | 75% |
| Withdraw during 3rd week | 50% |
| Withdraw during 4th week | 25% |
| Withdraw after 4th week | 0% |
All refunds are less any amounts owed to the university.
The summer refund policy is dependent on the session the student withdraws from during the summer semester.
