A student who withdraws completely or drops a class during the semester will receive a refund of tuition and fees based on the date the completed withdrawal/drop form, with all required signatures, is filed with the Records and Advisement Office. Financial aid received will also be adjusted based on the refund amount that a student receives.

Credit balances caused by federal financial aid will be released to the student or parent within 14 days of disbursement, unless the Student Finance office has received written permission to hold the credit balance. Credit balances are refundable, upon request, one month after the monthly statement is received for the last month the student was enrolled, in order to be certain that all charges have been processed. For example, if a student graduates in December, a full credit refund would not be made until after the January statement is processed during the first week of February. When the credit balance is large, a portion may be refunded earlier upon request to Student Finance - Billing and Collections Office.
If the student has a credit balance caused by a financial aid overaward, the necessary credit will be allocated to the financial aid funds, according to the Award and Overaward Procedures. If any credit remains, the refund will be credited back first to any credit card that was used to make payment within 90 days of the refund. If the refund involves a credit card payment exceeding $2,000, the refund will be credited back first to the credit card regardless of the date of payment.
