Tuition Refund Policy—Voluntary Withdrawals
Students who wish to withdraw must submit a written request for voluntary withdrawal to the
executive associate dean, or program director, if applicable, who will evaluate the student’s
request. After completing the required withdrawal form (s) and obtaining the dean’s approval,
an eligible student may receive partial refund of the tuition for didactic courses, according to the
following formula:
Entry-Level Program
First three class days ........................70 percent
Fourth or fifth class day ..................60 percent
Sixth or seventh class day ..............40 percent
Eighth, ninth, or tenth class day ....20 percent
After the tenth class day ..................0 percent
No refunds will be made thereafter. No refunds will be given to students withdrawing from advanced
practice experiences. No refunds will be given to students who are suspended or dismissed from
the program due to academic or disciplinary reasons. (Students with questions should consult the
bursar’s office.)
Students will not be given refunds for portions of tuition paid by financial aid funds. Instead, the
respective financial aid programs will be credited in accordance with federal regulations, which
establish the following requirements for recipients of Title IV student assistance funds (guaranteed
student loans and auxiliary loan program).
The regulation requires that if the student has received a financial aid overage to assist with related,
but indirect educational costs, i.e., living expenses, books, supplies, transportation, and/or personal
expenses, this must be prorated for the period the student attended the institution. The student must
then refund the difference (between the actual overage and prorated amount) to the institution for
restoration to the appropriate Title IV account.
Failure to comply with these requirements could jeopardize future receipt of the Title IV student
assistance funds at any institution of higher education the student may attend.
A refund due the student will be mailed to the student’s permanent home address or deposited
directly into his or her checking account as soon as the dean of the respective college has approved
the withdrawal. The tuition refund policy is subject to change at the discretion of the university’s
board of trustees.
Florida Residency
Eligible students in the entry-level Pharm.D. degree program must request in-state tuition by
application. For tuition purposes, students’ Florida residency status (in state or out-of-state) will be
determined based on initial matriculation and will remain the same throughout the entire enrollment
of the student at NSU. The determination as to eligibility for in-state tuition at NSU shall be made
exclusively by NSU.
