It is vitally important that whenever a student chooses to withdraw from
the University for any reason and at any time, that all of the appropriate
offices be contacted to facilitate the student's departure whether by
leave-of-absence or total withdrawal. Failure to follow these guidelines and
to make contact may result in serious academic and financial problems later.
The refund policy for all full-time students is posted on the Bursar's
Office website. Part-time students must notify Continuing Education to
ensure that a timely withdrawal and refund, if merited, may be processed.
Financial Aid - The U.S. Department of Education regulations define
how a student's total withdrawal or dropping below six (6) credit hours may
affect the financial aid awarded to that student. The student must make
direct contact with the Financial Aid Office to determine what amount of aid
the student is eligible to receive upon withdrawal or dropping classes.
In addition, future eligibility to receive financial aid may be affected
dependent upon posted 'W' and 'F' grades for class participation whether the
student attended one day or all of the semester. FA Credit Refund -
Any financial aid credit amounts in the student's account after all posted
university bills have been paid will be refunded by check mailed to the
student or posted in a student's pre-arranged direct deposit account
beginning the third week of the semester. |
