After classes have begun, a student who must drop a course due to extenuating circumstances beyond his or her control may be eligible to receive a full tuition refund. Examples of such situations are:

• Personal Emergencies:
  • Death of the student or death in the student’s immediate family such as parent, sibling, offspring or spouse.
  • Medical incapacitation documented by written proof.
• Administrative Errors
• Military Duty – Documented orders must accompany appeal.

All Appeals (including Late Withdrawal Appeals):

• Must be submitted in writing to the Dean of Student Personnel Services.
• Must include supporting documentation; e.g. copies of registration form, drop/add forms, medical condition verification.
• Must be received no later than one year after the end of the semester/session in which the course(s) were taken.
• Must be approved by the faculty, if a grade has been issued.

NOTE: Approval of a tuition appeal will result in the removal of the course(s) from the student’s record.

NOTE: Approval of a LATE WITHDRAWAL will result in a W (Withdrawal) on the student’s record, but no refund will be issued.

The decision of the Appeal Committee is FINAL.
