IMPORTANT:
Adjustments to tuition and housing expenses are made for students who officially withdraw from the University during the first ten days of classes (Fall, Spring, and Full Summer Semesters) or during the first three days ( 5 Week Summer Sessions).  Students will be refunded 100% less $100 or 5% of tuition, whichever is lower.  Housing expenses will be pro-rated based on actual residency.  Students withdrawing from student housing before the contract period ends will be assessed an additional $250 contract termination fee.  Students who withdraw from student housing during the first 5 weeks of the Fall or Spring Semester will receive a pro rata refund of their meal plan payment.
NOTE: First-time students who receive financial aid under the Title IV program are subject to the refund guidelines of that program.  Please contact the Office of Financial Aid or the Comptroller for specific guidelines.
