University Withdrawal Policy

Withdrawal from One or More But Not All Courses

A student who withdraws from a class through the second week of the term will be credited the difference in tuition and fees for the reduced number of credit hours, if any. After the second week of the term, there will be no reduction.

Withdrawal from the University (All Courses)

Fall and Spring Tuition and Fees: Students who withdraw from the university through the second week of the term will not be charged any tuition and fees. For fall and spring semesters only, students who withdraw from all courses after the second week of the term will be charged a percentage of the applicable tuition and fees based on the effective date of the withdrawal as recorded by the Office of the Registrar and the number of weeks beyond the second week of the term. The date is specified in the academic calendar for each semester. The proration of fees does not apply to certain fees, including matriculation, lab, bowling, music, and late fees. The schedule for allocation of tuition and fees between amounts charged and amounts credited is listed below. This schedule is subject to change.

Weeks Beyond the Second Week of the Term	Percent Charged	Percent Credited
1	20	80
2	40	60
3	50	50
4	60	40
5	100	0

No credit will be granted after the second week of the term for partial withdrawals, i.e., dropping individual courses. Any refunds owed to the student as a result of withdrawal will first be offset against any other amounts owed to the university. Students who receive financial aid and withdraw prior to the completion of 62 percent of the enrollment period must repay Title IV funds (i.e., PLUS, Perkins, Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans, Pell, SEOG, HETAP, and CSAP) to their sources. The percentage is determined by dividing the number of days attended by the number of days in the semester.

Fast Track and Summer Session Tuition and Fees: For summer and Fast Track sessions, students who withdraw from the university through the drop-add period will not be charged any tuition and fees. No proration of tuition and fees will be made for students who withdraw after the drop-add period.

Residence hall and apartment rent

For all semesters, students who withdraw through the first two weeks of the term will not be charged the Residence Hall or university-owned apartment charge but will be charged a flat fee of $200 ($100 for summer sessions). No proration will be made for students who withdraw after the census date.

Meal plans

For all semesters, students who withdraw through the first two weeks of the term will not be charged the meal plan charge but will be charged a flat fee of $200 ($100 for summer sessions) or the actual usage, whichever is greater. After the first two weeks of the term and through the last day to withdraw and receive a grade of “W”, refunds will be prorated based on the number of weeks or actual usage, as applicable. No proration will be made after the last day to withdraw and receive a grade of “W” for that semester.
