Withdrawal and Refund Policy

The University operates on an academic term basis for which commitments are made to teaching staff and to others whose services are essential to the operation of the University. As such, fees (other than tuition, and room and board) are non-refundable. Tuition, Room and Board charges are refunded only as stated in the Refund Schedule below. Additionally, tuition and fees are not transferable to future semesters. Refunds will only be granted to students who voluntarily withdraw and comply with the Procedures for Withdrawing as outlined in this catalog. Students who are suspended, dismissed or are otherwise involuntarily withdrawn from the University will not receive refunds. Enrollment and housing deposits are not refundable.
