Spring Refund Deadlines
The total tuition is considered fully earned by the University once scheduled classes have begun in any semester or summer session. Students desiring to drop/ or withdraw from the University must formally notify the University of their intention by executing an official withdrawal process (web, phone, fax or form) from the Office of the University Registrar.
Tuition is due in full on January 8, 2024
Failure to pay or failure to attend the course after registering is not justification for elimination of charges. Students must drop using official procedures and within the published deadlines in order to qualify for a refund or a release from charges.
