Financial Implications of Withdrawal
Enrollment periods are the fall semester, the spring semester or the summer term. The summer term includes several different sessions – a 3 week Interim session, two 5 week summer sessions, and a Law School summer session. If a student who has or will complete any course enrollment for the summer term wishes to drop classes for a specific session, this will be considered a course drop rather than a withdrawal since the student is still enrolled in the summer term.
Students who receive federal financial aid, and subsequently withdraw from all classes before completing the enrollment period are subject to full or partial federal aid cancellation and repayment of funds received. See "Impact of Withdrawal on Students Receiving Federal Financial Aid."
Students suspended from school for disciplinary reasons have no right to refunds of any tuition paid or to the cancellation of amounts due.
Students are responsible for clearing any outstanding balances on their accounts before leaving campus. A refund upon withdrawal from all classes will not be issued for three weeks, to allow time for all necessary adjustments to be made to the student’s account.
Students are not entitled to refunds or cancellation of amounts due for residence hall contracts unless they withdraw from all classes.
Refunds of housing deposits are issued upon authorization of Residential Life if the student has a clear account balance.
Refunds of ROTC deposits are issued upon authorization of the ROTC supply officer if the student has a clear account balance.
No refunds will be made to a student who has an outstanding balance on his or her account.
