Refund policies

Review your options for cancellations and refunds in case your plans change. You can also see our policies regarding enrollment cancellations due to non-payment and how to re-enroll.

Student-initiated enrollment cancellation

Once the enrollment agreement has been signed, if the student wishes to cancel enrollment, they must do so in writing using the “Change of Status” form within seven (7) calendar days. Only in this case will the student receive a 100% refund of the tuition and fees. 

Enrollment cancellation due to non-payment

If a student fails to pay the full amount indicated, including enrollment fees, by the deadline established in their payment plan, their enrollment will be cancelled for the semester.

Students whose enrollment has been cancelled due to non-payment may:

• Request a refund of all partial payments made, according to the withdrawal schedule.
• Submit a request for their enrollment to be reinstated. If approved, the student must pay all the enrollment fees plus a $25 late fee and a $100 reinstatement fee. For more information about reinstatement, please contact the Admissions Department.

If you find yourself in a situation where you need to adjust your academic workload, we’re here to help. You can withdraw from one, several, or all of your classes and receive a refund. See details below.  

Process

To withdraw from one or more class(es) after enrollment has been finalized, students must complete and submit the “Change of Status” form to the Registrar’s Office.

Refund

Regardless of the reason for withdrawal, all refunds related to the withdrawal from a semester or academic program will be as follows:

• Week 1: Add/drop period (first 7 calendar days of the semester). The student will receive a 100% refund of the tuition paid for the credits attempted that semester.
• Week 2: 75% tuition refunded for attempted semester credits.
• Week 3: 50% tuition refunded for attempted semester credits.
• Week 4: 25% tuition refunded for attempted semester credits.
• Week 5 or later: 0% tuition refunded for attempted semester credits.

In all cases, please keep in mind that some associated fees are non-refundable, such as the application fee. 

Example

If a student withdraws during the third week of a semester, they would receive a refund of 50% of the tuition paid for that semester, as well as a full refund for all credits paid in advance (if applicable).

• Total paid by student for current semester: $806.40
• Student withdraws during the third week of current semester (50% refund)  = $403.20
• Total refund amount = $403,20

Clarifications

• Students must notify the university of withdrawal or cancellation in writing.
• If a student withdraws from the university, the termination date for refund calculation purposes is the last date of actual attendance by the student.
• In the unlikely event that the university is forced to cancel a course due to circumstances beyond its control (natural disasters, etc.) students will receive a full refund for any tuition paid for this course.
• The same refund policy applies to students who withdraw voluntarily and to those who are forced to withdraw, either for failing to meet the required academic standards or for disciplinary reasons.
• Refunds will be made within 30 days of termination or receipt of cancellation/withdrawal notice.
