Refund Policy

The Student Accounts Office will automatically process tuition refunds for all eligible students. Refunds are calculated from the date of official withdrawal. A withdrawal is considered official when a completed Petition to Withdraw form has been submitted to the Enrollment Services Office and processed by the Office of the Registrar, Financial Aid and Student Accounts. Ceasing to attend classes does not constitute an official withdrawal from a course or from the university. However, a Title IV-unofficial withdraw may be processed as required per federal regulations, which may necessitate the return of federal financial aid.



Students are encouraged to contact the Financial Aid Office and the Student Accounts Office prior to making a decision to withdraw from the university.  Many students who withdraw from the university after the last day to drop with refund end up with a balance because they are not elgible to keep 100% of their federal financial aid.
