Refund Deadlines and Percentages for Add/Drop and Withdraw can be
found on the
Evening Degree Program Academic Calendar
NO FAXES, PHONE CALLS, OR EMAILS WILL BE
ACCEPTED IN LIEU OF THE OFFICIAL DROP/ADD FORM.
Dropping Classes (no penalty)
Students who find it necessary to change their enrollment by
dropping or adding courses must do so by obtaining a Drop/Add form
from the evening degree program office. This form must be completed and
returned to the evening degree program office during the Drop/Add
period. Students should note that any change of academic schedule
must be cleared by the evening degree program office. The date the
change is received in the evening degree program office will be the
official date for the change.
The Drop
form must be completed and returned by the date posted on the
Academic Calendar.
Withdraw / Refund Percentages
After the Drop/Add period, the professor must approve the change
in schedule. The professor may issue one of the following grades:
Withdrew Passing (W), Withdrew Failing (WF), or may refuse to
approve the withdrawal. In order to receive a refund, the student
must officially drop the class by the date specified in the Class
Schedule.
If a student must withdraw from a class or the University, an
official withdrawal form must be obtained from the evening degree program office. The instructor, the evening degree program advisor,
Registrar and the Director of Financial Aid must sign the withdrawal
form. The withdrawal form must have all signatures and be returned
to the evening degree program office by the withdrawal date stated in
the evening degree program calendar. Failure to attend class does not
constitute an official withdrawal. Students who do not officially
withdraw from a class will be held financially responsible for the
class.
Students will not be officially withdrawn
from a course without submission of the proper withdrawal form.
Institutional Refund Policy
The establishment of a refund policy is based on the University’s
commitment to a fair and equitable refund of tuition and other
charges assessed under appropriate circumstances. While the
University advances this policy, it should not be interpreted as a
policy of convenience for students to take lightly their
responsibility and their commitment to the University. The
University has demonstrated a commitment to students by admitting
and providing the necessary programs and expects students to
reciprocate that commitment.
If a student must withdraw from a course or from the
University, an official withdrawal form must be obtained from the
evening degree program office. In order to receive a refund students
must follow the stated procedures in the evening degree program course
schedule. Students are reminded that all changes in their academic
programs must be cleared through the evening degree program office.
Arrangements made only with a professor will not be recognized as an
official change of schedule.
Students who do not officially withdraw from a class will be
financially responsible for the class. Inquiries regarding refunds should be directed toward the Business Office.
Important
Note for Evening Degree Program
Undergraduates
Eligibility for financial assistance is calculated
on a semester basis; therefore, the refund policy must also be based
on the same enrollment period.
-
A student who completely withdraws from all
courses in the first session of a particular semester, and who does
not plan to return within that semester, will be subject to the
applicable Federal Return of Title IV Funds and/ or Institutional
Refund policies.
-
A student who completely withdraws from all
courses in the first session, but states in writing to the Office of
Financial Aid that he or she will return in the next immediate
session within the semester, is subject to the Institutional Refund
Policy only. However, should the student not return in the
subsequent session, any refund calculations will be reevaluated to
consider the federal policies, where applicable.
-
Students successfully completing the first session
of a given semester who do not return in the second, subsequent
session will only be subject to institutional policies. This also
applies to students who do return but then drop one or more courses
in the second session.
