Institutional Refund Policy
Total Withdrawal from the University
A student who registers but does not attend class(es), or who stops attending class(es) for any reason after the semester has begun, will not be credited back for his/her tuition charges unless officially withdrawn from the university. Several steps must be taken for an official withdrawal.
- You must submit a written notice of withdrawal to the office of the Dean of your respective school.
- Complete a withdrawal form with your academic advisor (NOTE: only your academic advisor can officially register you for a class; similarly, only he/she can officially remove you from that class).
- If you are receiving financial aid, you must obtain the signature of Financial Aid.
- Finally, the Registrar's office must enter the withdrawal into the system and sign the form indicating the completion of the process.
- If you live on campus, you must complete a Housing Release Form online through your MyHousing account.
