If any portion of the amount to be refunded remains after the outstanding tuition and mandatory fees have been paid, a refund will be issued in that amount.

A class day is a regular day of scheduled classes at the University (i.e. a full week, Monday to Friday, will have 5 class days). The first twelve class days are the first twelve days of regular class meetings on the University campus. These rates apply to total tuition and fee charges for the semester. An immediate refund will not be made at the time a student withdraws or reduces his/her hours during a semester, but upon request, a check covering all refunds due will be mailed within approximately 30 days to the address left at the Cashier’s Office.
