The University’s refund policies for students withdrawing or taking a leave of absence after the start of the term are described in the paragraphs below. The policy applicable to an individual student is determined by the particular circumstances of the student, including the date of the withdrawal/leave of absence and whether or not the student is a participant in a federal or state assistance program. Students who are expelled or suspended for disciplinary reasons are not eligible for an institutional refund.
Students who take a leave of absence or withdraw for any reason during the first three weeks of the fall or spring semester (or MAT Summer) are entitled to a prorated refund of certain Institutional Charges (Tuition, General Fee and Room). Board will be prorated throughout the term based on the days used). Absence from a registered class does not relieve the student of tuition liability. Prorated charges are based upon the date of actual withdrawal as determined by the University in accordance with the withdrawal/ leave of absence procedure according to the following schedule for the fall and spring semesters (& MAT Summer Term):
