Institutional Refund Policy

The following policy is designed to create a concise and clear roadmap for amounts that will be refunded to students if they are either to withdraw from school or drop classes at any point in the semester. It addresses tuition as well as other costs, including housing, meal plans, and insurance.

Student Account Credit Balance Refunds

If a financial aid award will create a credit on the student's account, a refund check will be sent to the student. A credit balance created by a PLUS loan on a student account will be sent to the parent unless otherwise indicated on the loan application.

Withdrawal: Tuition and Class Fees

Fall/Spring Semester 15-Week Classes

  • Any withdrawals that take place before classes start or within the first 10 days after classes begin will have tuition and class fees refunded at 100 percent.
  • Any withdrawals that take place before the 15th day of class are refunded at 50 percent of the charged tuition. There is no refund of class fees.

  • Tuition and class fees will not be refunded for any withdrawals that take place after the 15th day.

  • Housing fees will be pro-rated over the first 15 days based on the date the student checks out of College housing. No refunds will take place after the 15th day.

  • Meal plans will be refunded based on the weeks left in the semester with Flex used subtracted from the amount refunded.

  • Any fees associated with classes will be fully refunded within the first 10 days of class only.

  • Student fees are non-refundable.

Winter Term

  • Any withdrawals within the first two days of class will have tuition and class fees refunded at 100 percent.
