Room rent cannot be refunded after the semester has started. Unused amounts paid in advance for board are refundable. A student who withdraws with good reason from a course or courses will have seven days including the date of the first meeting of classes to receive a refund of 80% of tuition and fees; within two weeks, 60%; within three weeks, 40%; and within four weeks, 20%.

If a student remains in the college as long as four weeks, no refund will be made except for unused board. Students receiving federal financial aid will be subject to the federal guidelines with respect to withdrawal. Please refer to the Executive MBA Catalog for refund information pertaining to our Executive MBA program.

Under the Higher Education Amendments of 1998, the amount of aid a student has earned for the enrollment period is based on the length of time the student remains enrolled for that period. Therefore, the percentage of the enrollment period completed is also the percentage of aid the student has earned.

If a student withdraws on or before the 60% point of the enrollment period, the percentage of aid earned is equal to the percentage of time completed. A student who remains enrolled beyond the 60% point of the enrollment period, has earned 100% of the aid for that period. (There would be no unearned aid.)

Repayment of the unearned amount is calculated as follows:

School will return:

— the lesser of the amount of unearned Title IV aid or unearned institutional charges

Student will return:

— the unearned amount of Title IV grants

— the student’s and parent’s unearned portion of federal loan proceeds will not be returned, but is to be repaid to the loan holders according to the terms of the borrower’s promissory note.

Funds due to be returned by the school and the student and/or parent are charged back to the student’s account and returned to the applicable student aid programs.

The unearned amount of Title IV aid must be returned to the applicable Title IV aid programs in the following order:

• Federal Unsubsidized Direct Loans (other than PLUS Loans)
• Federal Subsidized Direct Loans
• Federal PLUS Loans
• Direct PLUS Loans Federal Pell Grants for which a return of funds is required
• ACG Grants for which a return of funds is required
• National SMART Grants for which a return of funds is required
• Federal SEOG Grants for which a return of funds is required
• Federal TEACH Grants for which a return of funds is required
• Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant for which a return is required
• Other Title IV aid

— Nonfederal aid funds will be returned based on the Institutional Refund Policy and returned in the following fund order: state, institutional then external funds.

— Examples of the application of the refund policy are available in the Business Office. The information contained in this section is subject to change, without notice, in order to comply with federal, state or college requirements. A student may obtain a refund of any overpayment on their account by making a request in the Business Office.

— The date of withdrawal from which all claims to reductions and refunds will be referred is the date on which the coordinator of records is officially notified by the student of the intention to withdraw. (See regulations relative to withdrawals.)

— The college reserves the right to cancel the registration of any student at any time. In such a case, the pro rata portion of tuition will be returned. Students withdrawing or removed under disciplinary action forfeit the right to a refund.
