​Course Changes & Tuition Refunds - What You Need to Know

Students are responsible for adding, dropping, and withdrawing from courses. This includes the completion and submission of Course Add/Drop forms to the Office of the Registrar.

The day on which the Office of the Registrar receives the Course Drop form is the official drop date. To avoid a failing grade, students must drop any courses not attended. Students who receive federal financial aid funding should check with the Office of Financial Aid when any changes are made in course registration for the semester. The following refunds and academic notations are applicable.

Additional information

  • For purposes of determining refund, the official date of course drop/withdrawal or University withdrawal is the day upon which completed course drop or withdrawal forms are received in the Office of the Registrar. Emails, phone calls, or no longer attending class do not constitute a proper withdrawal from class. The required Course Drop form must be completed and submitted to the Office of the Registrar.
  • The Office of Financial Aid has a separate Refund Policy for returning aid when a student withdraws from a course or the University.
  • The refund policy also applies to students who are suspended or expelled for disciplinary reasons.
  • Fees for courses dropped after the add/drop period are not refunded.
  • Room charges are non-refundable.
  • Appeals of the refund policy should be submitted, in writing, to the Office of Business and Finance.  Appeals must be submitted within 30 days of posting to a student account.  Students must include supporting documentation with their appeal.  Documents may include, but are not limited to: attendance records, instructor correspondence, advisor correspondence, a copy of the Add/Drop/Withdrawal form(s), etc.  Collaboration across all areas will determine outcome of appeal.
  • Board refunds are made, with appropriately approved exceptions, on a pro-rated basis.
  • Through the appropriate action of its administration and Board of Trustees, the University reserves the right to make changes in the above as financial and operational considerations may require. Changes in tuition or fees after publication of this bulletin are printed separately and are made available to all current and prospective students.
