Withdrawal from Program

Students who decide to withdraw from the Accelerated Undergraduate program should contact their academic advisor to officially withdraw. Tuition refunds during a session are described in the Tuition Refunds Policy. Full refunds of tuition will be given on courses not yet started.

The Financial Aid Office is required by federal statute to determine how much financial aid was earned by students who withdraw, drop out, are dismissed, or take a leave of absence prior to completing 60 percent of a payment period or term.

Students receiving federal financial aid will be subject to the Federal Refund Policy. Students are considered to be withdrawn if they do not complete all days scheduled to complete within the payment period/term. Students are not considered to be withdrawn if they provide written intent to attend a future session which begins within 45 days from the end of the session they ceased attending.

The Federal Refund Policy is based on the premise that students may only receive the amount of federal aid money that they have “earned” based on the percentage of the enrollment period that was attended. Contact the Financial Aid Office for examples of refund calculations.

The last date of attendance for students receiving financial aid is the last date the student attended class, or for online students, the last date of active participation in an online discussion or submission of an exam or academic assignment.
