Refunds will be determined by the transmission date and time of fax, online or email notifications, and by the postal cancellation date or verified sending date for mail or express delivery service notifications. Processing a refund may take up to four weeks once it is approved.
Refunds for Credit Course Fees
- While individual instructors may require class attendance and indeed use it for determining part of a grade, the University has no general policy that requires or mandates that students must attend classes in the courses for which they are registered. Accordingly, non-attendance in class ordinarily is not sufficient reason to request an exception to the published policy.
- Students who paid by Master Card, American Express, VISA, Discover or Diners International will receive a credit on their account.
The refund schedule below applies to credit course fees when a student cancels a registration or drops a class. It also applies to the semester dates and not to the actual meeting hours of a particular class.
