Fall 2008 Withdrawal from the University

Students who find it necessary to withdraw (i.e., discontinue all classes) during the fall semester, 2008 should IMMEDIATELY notify the Registrar's Office (located in John E. Thomas Hall, telephone number 262-2050). Students who notify the Registrar's Office by October 30 will be allowed to withdraw without academic penalty. Students who notify the Registrar's Office after October 30 will be subject to academic penalty.

Please Note:

Withdrawal at any time during the academic term will entitle the student to a refund of any funds on their meal account.

Students who have prepaid tuition and fees will be due a full refund if they are academically ineligible to enroll. Students who do not enroll for other reasons will be due a refund less any advance payments made toward tuition, fees, and housing. Students who are required to withdraw for disciplinary reasons will be given a refund based on the University's normal refund schedule, as indicated.

Students receiving any type of financial aid (federal, state, institutional, or external) should contact the University's Office of Student Financial Aid for an explanation of the Financial Aid Refund Policy.

Refund Policy (Fall and Spring Semesters)

The term refund should be understood to mean either a) the repayment of money received by the University for tuition and fees, or b) a reduction of charges if tuition and fees have not yet been paid.

Reduction of Class Schedule

  • If students reduce their class schedules (drop some but not all courses) during the first five days of classes (during the "Drop-Add" period), 100% of the difference in tuition and fees between the original and revised schedules will be credited to their accounts.
  • Students who reduce their schedules (drop some but not all courses) after the first five days of classes (after the "Drop-Add" period) will not be eligible for a refund.

Withdrawal from the University

If a student withdraws from the University (i.e. formally notifies the Registrar's Office that he or she is no longer attending ANY classes), a refund will be made based on the date of notification, as follows:
