Late Registration Students whose holds are not cleared or who choose to register on or after the first day of classes will be assessed a $50 late registration fee. This also applies to students not otherwise enrolled in Richmont who are registering for intensive classes on or after the first day of classes. Add/Drop/Withdrawal Through the first Friday of the semester, classes may be dropped or added upon receipt of a completed add/drop/withdrawal form by the Registrar. A $10 schedule change fee will be assessed per transaction. After the first Friday of the semester, the student must withdraw from the class in question using the add/drop/withdrawal form. A $10 schedule change fee per transaction will be assessed. A student who withdraws from a class will receive a refund according to the schedule published by the Business Office and included in the Academic Calendar. Although students submit add/drop/withdrawal forms to advisors for signatures, the student has the final responsibility for submitting the form to the Registrar for processing and is responsible for fees and penalties incurred for late submission. Financial Exceptions A student seeking an exception of any kind on his financial record may complete a Petition for Financial Exception to be reviewed by the Financial Affairs Committee. This form is available from the Business Office on both campuses and on the Richmont website. In the event of a student’s injury, prolonged illness, death of a family member, or similar circumstances that interrupt or preclude the completion of a course or courses, the student may choose to withdraw from one or more classes for the semester, or, if necessary withdraw from the University. In either event, the student will receive a tuition refund based on the refund schedule. The student will follow the procedures for course withdrawal or institutional withdrawal depending on the situation. In the event of the death of a student, the family will receive a full tuition refund for the semester. Intensive courses can be dropped up until close of business on the day before the class begins, using the same procedure outlined above for dropping and adding weekly classes. Students who drop an intensive class prior to the close of business on the day before the course begins will receive a full refund minus a $10 schedule change fee per transaction. After that time, no refunds will be given. Institutional Withdrawal Students withdrawing from the institution, either for the semester or indefinitely, must complete the Institutional Withdrawal Form available from the Registrar. They will receive refunds based on the same schedule for individual course withdrawals. Refund Policy and Assessed Fees Following is a general description of how Richmont’s refund policy is structured. Please note that all non-tuition fees are non-refundable. Tuition refunds for drop/add and institutional withdrawal: • Prior to add/drop deadline = 100 percent refund • After add/drop deadline to 10 percent point in term = 90 percent refund • Beyond 10 percent to 25 percent point in term = 75 percent refund • Beyond 25 percent to 50 percent point in term = 50 percent refund • After 50 percent point in term = no refund • Drop/add fee = $10 (per transaction) • Late registration fee = $50 These dates will be calculated for each term consistent with the length of the term. The date that will be used for calculation of a refund for withdrawal or add/drop will be the date on which the Registrar receives the completed form signed by all required personnel. All students must follow the procedures for withdrawal and add/drop to receive a refund. 27
