Institutional Refund Policy
Students who register but do not attend classes or who withdraw from the University for any reason after attending classes are entitled to a refund (according to the refund policy) whether they officially withdraw themselves or unofficially. If the student does not officially withdraw, the last day of attendance would be considered the withdrawal date. Students who withdraw officially must follow procedures set forth in this publication.
