Withdrawal and Refund Policy

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.
