Refunds on Accounts
There are two topics to cover:  withdrawals during the semester and overpayments.  See further below for return of matriculation deposits.

  • Withdrawals
    The first is the schedule of reduced tuition and fees applied if a student must withdraw during the semester.  Please refer to the catalog for this information.  The date of withdrawal is determined by the Office of Student Affairs.  The Business Office will process any funds due to the family after being notified by the Office of Student Affairs and after the Financial Aid Office reviews grant and loan eligibility.  Please be aware that scholarships, loans, and grants may not follow the same refund percentages as the College; you should contact the Financial Aid Office for that information.
  • Overpayments
    The second type of refund occurs when a student overpays on his/her account, usually through the receipt of loan funds needed for living expenses or books.  The refund will happen automatically unless we have notification from the student that extra funds should remain on the account.  If the refund is created entirely by federal funds (in very few cases), then the school will process the refund within the time limits of federal law.  Otherwise, refunds will be processed within a month after registration.  Contact the Business Office if you need to expedite this process.
    Note 1:  Refunds are issued in the name of the student and mailed to the home address in most cases.  You must notify us if this should be handled differently.
    Note 2 for students on off-campus programs:  Refunds for students on off-campus programs can be directly deposited into a bank account if the student makes arrangements with the Financial Aid Office or the Business Office.
