Refund Percentages For Drops/Withdrawals By Date

Refund percentages are removed tuition charges from the student account. The last day to drop with a 100% refund on tuition and fees is prior to the first day of class. Fees are non-refundable once classes begin.
Student refunds will not be issued unless a credit is generated on your student account after the Student Accounts and Financial Aid Offices have finalized the withdrawal calculations. See Return and Repayment Policy for Title IV Funds page for more information.
