Military Leave Refund Policy
A student in the military reserves called into active status on an emergency basis who
cannot complete course work for a given semester:
1. will receive an automatic late withdrawal in each course with full tuition and
fee refund if call-up is within the first 12 weeks of the semester.
2. may elect to receive an incomplete in each course, or receive a W in each
course with a full tuition and fee refund, if call-up is during the thirteenth or
fourteenth week of the semester. Ordinarily, the incompletes are to be finished
during the semester the student returns to classes.
Room and board charges will be adjusted according to the refund schedule. The student
should present his or her orders to the Student Affairs Office. If the student does not yet
have written orders, he or she will have 60 days in which to present the orders. A family
member or friend may bring a copy of the orders in the student’s absence. If this
deadline is not met, the student’s grades would revert to 0 and he or she will not be
eligible to receive a refund.
Financial Aid
Contact: Delaina Jayne, Interim Director
Wilkes University subscribes to the belief that the primary responsibility for financing
the cost of higher education rests with the student and his or her family, and Wilkes is
committed to providing resources to make that cost affordable. Toward that end, the
University maintains an extensive program of need-based and merit-based financial
assistance in the form of scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time employment to assist
qualified students. This program is made possible by substantial annual gifts from
generous friends and alumni of the University, which are combined with a variety of
funding types provided by the federal and state governments.
