Withdrawal Policy
- Students are allowed to fully withdraw from the program by submitting a withdrawal form and a $45 fee prior to the commencement of final exams.
- Students may be allowed to withdraw from any course upon submission of a petition to the Academic Council prior to the commencement of final examinations. Verbal notification to the school is NOT acceptable; the student’s intent to withdraw MUST be in writing and accompanied by a $45 fee to be valid.
- Any student who does not notify the School of the intention to withdraw before the commencement of final examinations and who does not take the final examination will receive a grade of ‘X’ for all examinations and courses and will be administratively dismissed.
- Students who withdraw from the School, and who wish to return, must reapply for admission. Students will be subject to admissions policies in force at the time of readmission.
- Students should consult with the Associate Dean for Administrative Affairs about the effect of the withdrawal on their projected program and graduation date.
Tuition Refund Policy
Refund policies depend on a student’s status and when the student withdraws. For students who withdraw from any class up through the 60% point in the semester, charges are reduced in proportion to the percentage remaining in the semester after the student’s withdrawal date. For students who withdraw from any class after the 60% point in the semester, NO REFUND IS GIVEN.
The withdrawal date is set as the date that the student submits a Change of Program Form or a Full Withdrawal Form and the applicable fee. A $45.00 fee is assessed each time a student withdraws from a class (after the second week of school in a given semester) or withdraws from the school (at any time).
If the student withdraws from ALL classes in a given semester, refunds on tuition are first returned to the appropriate financial aid program or private loan agency if applicable.
Any request to withdraw from a class or from the school MUST BE IN WRITING and accompanied by the appropriate fee to be valid. Verbal notifications of an intent to withdraw from a class or from the school are prohibited, and will not be recognized as an appropriate notice to the school.
