Refund Policy

Enrollment Status

During the first week of classes an Undergraduate student may add or drop individual courses for which they will be billed or credited respectively. Courses dropped after the second week of a semester are not eligible for a refund. If you withdraw from all courses, see the Refund Policy.

An Undergraduate Student who drops below 12 credits is considered a part time student. Financial aid eligibility and participation in varsity athletics may be affected. Please check with the appropriate offices to determine the impact of part time enrollment. If courses exceed 18 credits you will be charged at the per credit rate for credits exceeding 18 in a semester.

Credit Balance Refund Policies

If a student has a credit balance on their account, a refund check will be issued within 14 days, unless the student authorizes the College, in writing, to hold the credit balance for a future semester. (You can download a .pdf version of the Credit Balance Form here.

If the refund check is not picked up by 2:00 p.m., it will be mailed to the billing address on the student account.
