Refund Policy
The following refund policy is in effect until the end of Spring 2013.
Credit balances are automatically refunded if required under Title IV (federal aid exceeds allowable billing charges) or a student has graduated or withdrawn from the college. All other credit balances can be refunded if a written request has been received by the Billing Office and the add/drop date has passed for the semester during which the credit balance occurred.
STUDENTS WITHDRAWING FROM COLLEGE
Refund period dates are determined by reference to "Important Dates for Students," published by Student Administrative Services at the beginning of each semester.
A partial refund of payments may be made to students who withdraw from all courses of their own accord. Any credit balance remaining after these adjustments to the student's account will be refunded. Institutional and federal aid as well as tuition and fees will be adjusted in accordance with the Federal Return to Title IV calculation. The Title IV calculation is based on days of attendance as a percentage of total days in the semester up until 60%.
For example, if the Return to Title IV calculation calculates that the student earned 20% of his or her federal aid based on the length of time spent in school, institutional aid and tuition and fees would also be adjusted to 20%. No adjustments will be made once 60% of the semester has passed (with the exception of the board charge). Any remaining balance due must be paid by the student. An administrative fee of $250 will be assessed to the student.

Semester tuition charges will not be affected if courses are dropped after that date unless the student withdraws from the college. The refund policy applies to both matriculating and noncandidate undergraduate students.
The semester board charge will be refunded based on the lesser of days of attendance or meal-plan use during the semester.
No adjustment of semester charges will be granted to students who are suspended or expelled for academic or disciplinary reasons. The college reserves the right to suspend or dismiss at any time a student whose academic standing or general conduct is considered unsatisfactory.
