REFUND POLICY One hundred percent (100%) refund of fees for students will be honored during the first day and any day prior to the start of the semester. Credit will be made to the accounts of students whose withdrawals are completed during the refund period.
The Refund Policy applies to total withdrawals only. Students who drop classes after the scheduled refund period will be charged for the course.
Your refund request application along with a properly completed Withdrawal Form (from the Office of the Registrar) must be submitted to the Cashier's section of the Office of Cash Management within 4 weeks after the first day of the semester.
Refunds are processed and disbursed beginning four weeks after the first day of classes.
ALL FINANCIAL AID RECIPIENTS MUST FILL OUT AND HAVE ON FILE WITH THE CASHIER'S OFFICE THE REQUIRED ATTENDANCE VERIFICATION FORM IN ORDER TO RECEIVE A REFUND.
After the thirtieth-ninth (39) day of a full semester (fall or spring) or the twenty-third (23) of the summer semester, no fees will be refunded other than the remaining full weeks of the board charge. If a student withdraws before the registration is complete he/she is indebted to the University for the amount determined by the policies stated. Students withdrawn for disciplinary reasons during the semester forfeit the refund of any portion of their fees except prorated board charges. The refund policy does not apply to students who drop classes. Students who fail to officially withdraw forfeit the refund of any fees.
REFUND POLICY FINANCIAL AID RECIPIENTS The University will defer $500.00 of the refund of financial aid in excess of fees to cover Book Voucher charges for all students who receive Financial Aid, excluding PLUS Loans, College Work-Study or Part-Time Work. The deferral period will be for 30 days; beginning with the first day Book Vouchers are made available.

RESIDENCE HALLS In accordance with the Housing Contract, students living in the residence halls are committed to on-campus housing for the duration of the contract (one academic year). These fees are non-refundable. Because of the shorter length of the summer term, the charges for Room and Board are prorated. The Room Damage Deposit and the Key Deposit will be refunded if no damage is done to the residence hall room or contents and if after the last semester of enrollment the residence hall room key has been returned. If it is necessary for a new key to be made during the semester, the Key Deposit will be used to replace room locks, and a new Key Deposit must be made.
