REFUNDS
If a student is authorized to withdraw with honorable standing from the University for a
good cause, a written request may be made for reduced charges for tuition, board and room
fees. (Note should be taken that the student may not demand a refund as a matter of right.)
Ordinarily, laboratory and special service fees are not refundable.* Students who entered the
University prior to fall 1996 and who withdraw from individual courses are also eligible to
receive credit on their account with the University according to the schedule given below.
SCHEDULE OF REFUNDS
FALL/SPRING SEMESTER CREDIT
Before the first day of classes and
To and including 10 calendar days 100%
To and including 17 calendar days 75 %
To and including 24 calendar days 50%
To and including 31 calendar days 25 %

INTERSESSION/SUMMER SESSIONS CREDIT
Before the first day of classes and
To and including 2 calendar days 100%
To and including 4 calendar days 50%
Beyond 4 calendar days of the session no refund
* Note: Students billed flat tuition (those entering the University in fall 1996 or later) will
also be eligible for a refund if their total course load after the dropped course(s) falls below
the flat-tuition minimum credit load, or their course load prior to dropping the course(s) was
greater than the flat-tuition maximum credit load of 18 credits. The formula used to calculate
refunds for students billed under flat tuition will be available from the Bursar’s office.
FINANCIAL AID REFUND POLICY
In accordance with federal regulations, those students who receive federal financial aid and
who completely withdraw from the University during the first 60% of a semester will have
their federal financial aid (Pell Grants, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants,
Perkins Loans, Stafford Loans and PLUS Loans) adjusted based on the percent of the semester
completed prior to the withdrawal. That is, students will be entitled to retain the same
percent of the federal financial aid received as the percent of the semester completed. The
date of withdrawal will be the date the student begins the withdrawal process in accordance
with the official procedures outlined in the catalog. There will be no adjustment to federal
financial aid after 60% of the semester is completed. Students that must totally withdraw
from school should consult with the Financial Aid Office on how the refund policy
applies to their situation.
