Housing
A student who officially withdraws completely from the university prior to the beginning of any semester is eligible to receive a full refund of housing fees, but must forfeit the housing deposit.
A student who officially withdraws completely from the university during the semester will forfeit the housing deposit but is entitled to receive a pro-rated refund of housing fees, based upon a weekly scale.
The Housing Office will determine if any refund of housing fees is possible for a student who leaves university housing for medical reasons.
If a student is asked to leave university housing, the details concerning a housing refund shall be determined by the Director of Housing. The university shall always retain the authority to allow exceptions to this policy.
Meals
A student who officially withdraws after the beginning of a semester and who notifies Enrollment Services will be entitled to a refund of the board paid for the remainder of the semester. A student who withdraws during a week will be charged for the entire week.
Summer Session
Refunds of fees for a student who withdraws after the beginning of a summer session will be determined by the proportion of the term attended and will be pro-rated on the basis of the refund policy in effect for a regular session. It is the student's responsibility to complete the Withdrawal or Drop Cards. They are available in Department Offices and the Center for Enrollment Services.
Tuition
The date when students submit a completed drop card to Enrollment Services to cancel their registration or to withdraw from a course determines their eligibility for a refund. A student who submits to Enrollment Services an officially approved withdrawal form prior to the beginning of any semester is eligible for a complete refund of all fees except the application fee and registration and room deposits. (Please refer to refund policies that pertain to housing and meal refunds, if applicable.)
A student who withdraws after the beginning of a semester and who submits to Enrollment Services an officially approved withdrawal form is entitled to a refund of tuition according to the schedule as follows (Subject to change):
| Refund (%) | Period of Attendance |
| 90 |
First Week |
| 80 |
Second Week |
| 70 |
Third Week |
| 60 |
Fourth Week |
| 50 |
Fifth Week |
| No Refund |
After the Fifth Week |
Federal guidelines for the pro-rating of student financial aid awards to students who totally withdraw from the university partway through a term usually do not coincide with the above refund policy.
Students contemplating mid-term withdrawal from the university should first contact the Center for Enrollment Services to discuss the impact of a contemplated mid-term withdrawal on their student financial aid awards and possible resultant personal liability to the university for charges not covered by prorated student financial aid awards.
