Refund Policy
Students may add or drop courses prior to the first day of the term. Dropped courses are not recorded on a student's academic record. A student may drop a course for any reason prior to the first day of the term (all terms begin on Sundays) without penalty.
Withdrawals are noted on the student's academic record with the designation of "W". Students are financially responsible for all courses with a "W" grade. Exception to this policy is by petition, only with the approval of the instructor, the Dean of the School of Graduate and Professional Studies, and the Program Director. Enrolled students who withdraw must do so in writing, stating the reason for withdrawal.
The refund of tuition is based on the week the student withdraws and notifies Student Services (both must be accomplished). For this purpose, Sunday is considered the first day of the applicable week.
- Before the first day of the 1st week of class: 100%
- As of the first day of the 1st week of class: 80%
- As of the first day of the 2nd week of class: 50%
- As of the first day of the 3rd week of class: No Refund
No adjustments to account balances will be made nor withdrawal disputes considered after 30 days from the end of the term during which the student withdrew.
