The following schedule will be used to calculate credits of tuition and fees for all students who drop or withdraw from class(es). You may find it necessary to drop or withdraw from the University before the end of a term or class. Withdrawals could impact your student account, financial aid, tuition assistance, and veteran benefit status.
- Calculations are based upon the official start of the term/program (usually a Monday) and not the first day of class.
- The date that you start the withdrawal process and drop class(es) is the official withdrawal date for the class(es), and will be used to calculate the percentage of time you were enrolled in the term and the percentage of tuition you are charged.
- The calculation will use the total number of calendar days you attended divided by the total number of calendar days of the enrollment period (minus authorized breaks of five days or more).
If you withdraw after the 60 percent point in the enrollment period, there is no tuition refund; you are responsible for the full amount.
Example (Traditional Based Student in a 12-Week Session)*:
Student A has total institutional charges of $2381, which include $2250 in tuition and fees and $131 in books and/or supplies charged at the bookstore. The student enrolled in the Fall 12-Week session, but withdraws from all classes after attending for 26 days. The 12-Week session is 83 calendar days in length. The student will be charged for (has earned) 31.33 percent of the tuition (26 days/83 days = 31.33 percent). The unearned percentage of tuition is 68.67 percent and will be credited off of the student's account. The Refund Schedule does not apply to the determination of whether Returns are due to Federal Student Aid programs.
