Student Affairs Policies

Withdrawal from the College

Students who withdraw voluntarily from the College (including those who transfer to another institution) must notify their College House Dean in writing. Students who withdraw from the College are expected to complete an Exit Survey.

The deadline for withdrawal from the College to exclude grades for the current semester is the last day of classes. All other withdrawals become effective with the beginning of the next semester.

Refund Policy

The Higher Education Amendments of 1992 require that each institution participating in a Title IV program have a fair and equitable refund policy in effect.

When a student withdraws, changes from full-time to part-time status, or takes a leave of absence, and officially notifies the Office of the Dean of the College, then the College refunds tuition, room and board charges previously paid by the student, less administrative costs, based on the following schedule:

During First Week.................................. 87.5%

During Second Week .............................. 75.0%

During Third Week ................................ 62.5%

During Fourth Week .............................. 50.0%

During Fifth Week.................................. 37.5%

During Sixth Week ................................ 25.0%

During Seventh & Eighth Weeks............... 12.5%

For those students who are receiving institutional financial aid, institutional grants will be reduced according to the above schedule. Federal funds will be returned as prescribed by the Department of Education using Return to Title IV regulations.

Contact the Office of the Dean of the College for details regarding leaves of absence.
