General Information

Academic and financial obligations for a course or service in which a student is registered are modified only by an official withdrawal from the course or service.  Academic withdrawals made during the add/drop period should be submitted online using the Self Service option in the student portal.  Once online registration closes for the semester, after the drop/add period, all changes in registration must be submitted in writing on the Change in Registration form available in the office of the dean or director of the college in which the student is registered. The official date of withdrawal will be the date on which written notice of withdrawal is received by the office of the dean or director.

Refund of tuition charges follows the University Refund Schedule.  Refunds will be first applied to any financial aid received by the student and then to the indebtedness he/she has with the University. Refund schedules are published in the Schedule of Classes each year. Refund information is also available in the Student Accounting Office, Registrar's Office and from the Scholarship and Financial Aid Office.

Tuition Adjustments - Variance Committee

Students who totally withdraw during the semester for unplanned reasons may petition the University's Variance Committee for consideration regarding tuition assessment. The student must complete a Petition for Tuition Variance and submit it to the Student Accounting Office.

As part of the request for consideration, a written complete explanation of the reason for withdrawal is required, as well as any documentation that would support your request for this review. Examples of reasonable requests include: medical, unexpected changes in employment or other situations beyond your control.

Documentation from a third party may be necessary in order to make a determination regarding your request. Some examples may include:

• A letter from your doctor indicating the time period you were unable to attend school.
• A letter from your employer documenting the date of the unexpected employment/job schedule change occurred.
• A college official (dean/associate dean/assistant dean) within the specific college/school may have to provide specific written recommendations as part of the request if the total withdrawal was beyond the control of the student and is an academic-related withdrawal issue.

If the reason for the withdrawal is non-academic, then a college/school recommendation is not required or considered.

Students who receive financial aid/scholarships and have a petition for a tuition variance approved will have their award reevaluated. All committee decisions will be communicated to the student in writing.

The petition will take approximately 30 days to process. Please note: the student must withdraw from classes prior to submitting the petition. Requests for Variance should be filed within one year of the semester withdrawal for which the appeal is being submitted. A total withdrawal fee of $500 is charged to those students who totally withdraw and are successful in their tuition variance request.

The Residence Hall application is a binding agreement with the Office of Residence Life and 糖心logo入口 for the academic year consisting of Fall and Winter terms. Cancellation from the housing agreement will not be accepted after May 31st unless the student is withdrawing from the University for the academic year. All cancellations must be received in writing using the "Request for Release" form found on the Office of Residence Life webpage. Cancellations during the academic year are subject to a minimum $350 cancellation fee, which may be waived for the following reasons: graduation, withdrawal from the University, marriage, medical reasons as verified by the University, co-op or study abroad, financial.

In the event of approved withdrawal from the University residence hall system and meal plan, refunds are subject to a prorated assessment for the period of residence. The effective termination date will be the day upon which all of the following have been accomplished:

• The student has canceled in writing using the "Request for Release" form.
• The student has removed all belongings from the room.
• Appropriate checkout forms have been completed.
• Room and building keys and key tags have been surrendered to the Office of Residence Life.

Students found withdrawing from school and re-registering at a later date during the period of the original agreement for the purpose of securing an agreement release will be assessed all housing and board charges for the year.

Meal Plan Information and Refunds

糖心logo入口 requires all residential students to purchase a University meal plan through their housing contract. According to University policy, freshman residents are required to have meal plans 1 or 2. All other residential students are required to choose one of the three block plans.

Students who totally withdraw from the University will be refunded for the food plan on a pro-rated assessment based on time and usage at a pre-determined amount.

Students who withdraw from housing midway through the academic year could be responsible for the full cost of a meal-plan depending on the cancellation date. If a meal plan refund is granted, the student is responsible for any meal plan usage based at a pre-determined rate.

糖心logo入口 offers 2 (two) opportunities to appeal a meal plan each academic year. Appeal submissions after the deadline date will not be accepted. Appeals must be made for each housing contract cycle. The deadline to appeal a meal plan for Fall and Winter terms is the 2nd Friday of each term. Meal plan accommodations will be considered based on individual need. Any used meals or flex dollars spent will be billed back to the student at a pre-determined rate.

To complete a meal plan appeal, a student must complete the "Meal Plan Appeal/Meal Plan Accommodation Request" form found on the Office of Residence Life webpage.

A service charge of 1.5 percent of the outstanding balance is assessed monthly (18 percent annual rate) beginning the last month of the term until the debt is paid in full.

Collection Activity Timetables

Should a student not return to classes the following term, a past due notice is sent (approximately the second month of the new term) advising the student that an outstanding tuition account balance is due to the University. This balance must be paid to avoid the account being forwarded to a collection agency. The account is assigned to a collection agency approximately 30 days after notification to the former student that his/her account is past due.
