future students of the University, and to establish additional fees or charges for special
services whenever, in their opinion, such action is deemed advisable.
No part of the tuition fee shall be refunded to students who withdraw for any reason
after the tenth week from the first day of the academic schedule for first, second, third or
fourth year.
A request for a tuition fee refund requires written notification to the Business Office,
and must be received before the close of business during the week in which the refund is
requested. The request for a tuition fee refund requires prior written notification of
withdrawal from the University. Students who voluntarily withdraw from the University
may be entitled to a refund. Students who are dismissed or suspended are not entitled to
tuition refunds.
The tuition refund and/or tuition discount, whichever is applicable, shall be prorated
as follows: 75 percent during the first week; 50 percent during the second week; and 25
percent during the third week through the tenth week. The check will be mailed to the
student from the Business Office approximately two weeks from the date of receipt of the
written request and notification of withdrawal from the University.
Tuition and Fees Refund Policy – Student Financial Aid Recipients
Students receiving financial aid funds are subject to having these funds returned as
required by federal, state and/or private aid program policies. This means a student who
leaves school for any reason prior to completing 60 percent of the period of enrollment
will have all or a portion of their financial aid funds returned to the appropriate aid
program(s). Federal regulation 34 CFR 668.22 (Return of Title IV Funds) requires the
school to calculate the percentage of the student’s attendance; then calculate the
student’s “unearned” portion of the federal funds they have received. The “unearned”
funds paid to the school must be returned to the lender within 30 days of the student’s
date of withdrawal. The student will then be responsible for the payment of the
remaining tuition balance due per the KCUMB refund policy. The student will be notified
of these amounts at the time of their checkout from the University.
