WITHDRAWAL / REFUND POLICY
When a student withdraws from classes, he/she may be entitled to receive
money back, which had been paid to the Institution. The Institution may
be able to refund all or a portion of the tuition, fees, housing costs,
etc. the student paid. If the tuition, fees, housing costs, etc. were
paid with financial aid dollars, then all or a portion of the student’s
refund must be returned to the student aid programs from which the money
was awarded. A student who receives a cash disbursement to assist with
living expenses and then withdraws, drops out, or is expelled, may be
required to repay money to the aid programs from which the money was awarded.
The Institution has designed the following policies and procedures when
a student leaves the Institution.

The Institution’s refund policy reflects the standards of the
school’s accrediting agency and State law. The date used to calculate
the refund is determined as follows:
- In the case of a student who officially withdraws, the date of withdrawal.
- In the case of a student who unofficially withdraws, the drop out
date is the last recorded date of class attendance as documented by
the institution. The Registrar’s office is responsible for determining
and documenting the last day of attendance.
- In the case of a student who is expelled, the date of the expulsion.
