Refunds of tuition and fees credit courses, if any, are made on the basis of the date and time of receipt of a student’s withdrawal, with appropriate signatures. Students who withdraw from a course before the semester begin date will be refunded the cost of tuition and fees less a $75.00 non-refundable registration fee. Students who withdraw before the first scheduled class and within the allowable withdrawal period may receive a partial refund of their tuition and fees according to the schedule below. A withdrawal after the second class meeting requires the student to obtain the signature of the faculty member, undergraduates require their advisor signature too. There are no refunds for the Winter session after the course has begun.
For refund and withdrawal purposes, Online and Brick & Click courses are deemed to begin “meeting” on the first day of the semester at 9 a.m., unless otherwise noted. They will be considered “meeting” as other in-person courses that begin the first day of the term (i.e., once per week for fourteen weeks in fall/spring, twice per week for six weeks in the summer). This refund and withdrawal schedule follows this “meet” schedule and is effective regardless of individual student login.
