Candidates for the spring term must also submit a $200 tuition deposit upon notification of acceptance to the College. The spring term deposit is refundable if notice is given prior to January 1.

Refunds
The College must anticipate for fiscal reasons that enrolled students will complete the term to which they were admitted. Should it be necessary for valid reason (e.g., military service) to withdraw prior to the end of a term, the student must personally notify the Office of the Registrar to receive official permission to withdraw and to determine the date of withdrawal for refunding purposes. At that time the Treasurer will determine the amount of refund according to the following schedule for tuition (but not for fees):Withdrawal during the first 2 weeks Refund of 80% of tuition
Withdrawal during the 3rd week Refund of 60% of tuition
Withdrawal during the 4th week Refund of 40% of tuition
Withdrawal during the 5th week Refund of 20% of tuition
Withdrawal after the 5th week No refund

[ NOTE: Room and Board is NOT REFUNDABLE ]
Students who have received or who are scheduled to receive federal financial aid and withdraw during a semester are subject to federal refunding rules. The federal formula allows a student to keep aid that is earned based on the amount of time the student was enrolled. This calculation is performed upon receipt of the official withdrawal form or at the request of the student.

A student’s charges are determined using the institution’s refund formula. Therefore, it is advisable for a student who is considering withdrawal to meet with the Associate Dean for Financial Aid to determine the financial aid impact of such a decision. For specific information regarding withdrawal as it relates to financial aid, please contact the Office of Financial Aid.

Full-time students dropping to part-time status after the add/drop period are eligible to a proportional refund based on full-time charges. The amount of the refund is based on the college refund policy. The same is applicable for part-time students dropping credits after the add/drop period.

A student who leaves the College without explicit permission of the Vice President for Academic Affairs or a student dismissed from the College forfeits all rights to a refund.
