Withdrawal Policy
Students who must withdraw from a course during a semester for reasons of extended
illness or family emergency may receive a refund according to the above refund scale,
provided the withdrawal is officially approved by the Dean. A student may be advised
to withdraw from a course for academic reasons. No refunds are made in that case.
Students are financially responsible for courses for which they are registered after
the last day of the drop/add period.
No refunds will be made in the case of unofficial withdrawal or dismissal from the University.
Good Financial Standing
Students will be considered to be in good financial standing at the end of each term
when all accounts are cleared with the Business Manager, the Housing Office and the
Library. Students not in good financial standing will not be issued grades or transcripts
and may be refused re-enrollment at the University.
