Please note that the University's withdrawal policy gives specific dates and corresponding refund percentages which are strictly applied (See the Tuition Refund Schedule below).

Withdrawal from a Course

Full-time registered students who drop to part-time status by the end of the Drop/Add week will receive an appropriate adjustment to their tuition charges.

Full-time students who withdraw from a course after the Drop/Add week will not be given tuition refunds.

Part-time students who withdraw from a course during the Drop/Add week will receive a refund according to the Tuition Refund Schedule below.

Withdrawal from the University

All students who wish to withdraw from the University must notify the Registrar of the University in writing prior to the first day of Registration.

Tuition refunds are calculated on a percentage basis according to the official date of withdrawal. (See the University Tuition Refund Schedule below.)

A student who withdraws during the fall semester when payment has been made for the full year forfeits his/her right to the yearly tuition reduction.

A new student who withdraws during the full-refund period prior to the first day of classes will have the non-refundable Confirmation Deposit deducted from his/her refund.

Withdrawal from the University does not release the Financially Responsible Person from tuition obligations. All outstanding debts, including those related to the termination of the Monthly Payment Plan, are due in full within (30) days of the official withdrawal date.

A student who receives a university service grant and then withdraws will forfeit his/her right to receive the grant (The applicable portion of the grant will be credited to the student's account).

A student who is awarded a University tuition grant and then withdraws from the University will receive a refund calculated on the Full-Time Tuition Fee less the grant amount awarded, according to the Tuition Refund Schedule.

Example: A student receiving a €1,525 grant, withdrawing during the first 2 weeks of classes, would receive a tuition rebate of:

60% x [Full-time Tuition Fee - €1,525]

Students who have received Title IV loan funds through the Department of Education and then withdraw from the University are subject to the return policy outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations (34CFR668.22).

Part-time students withdrawing before the first day of classes will be charged a processing fee.
