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.

Regular academic semester for all students

Prior to the first day of class	100%
Prior to the end of the second week	50%
After the second week	0%

Summer Session for all students

Through the first day of classes (less deposits)	100%
After the first day of classes through the first week of classes	90%
After the first week of classes through the second week	50%
After the second week of classes through the third week	25%
Thereafter	0%

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.
