Course Refund

Registration: Financial & Academic Liability

Once registered, students are liable for the full cost of tuition of the courses and fieldwork for which they have registered regardless of non-attendance to the class.  Full liability applies for both students using the deferred payment plan and those paid in full at registration.

Dropping Or Withdrawing From A Course

When students drop or withdraw from courses, tuition refunds are considered according to the date the completed request form is received in the Registrar's Office based on the below refund schedule.

Registration Fees

All registration fees are non-refundable.

Refund Policy Committee

Students wishing to appeal the refund policy must send their request in writing to the Refund Policy Committee (RPC). The Committee will review students’ requests and gather all information from all involved parties. RPC will make a decision and share it with the student.  The decision of the Refund Policy Committee is final.
