Refund Policy
Students who cancel their registration before the first class session are entitled to a full tuition refund. All program registration, application, late fees, materials, and field supervision fees are nonrefundable. After the first class, students who inform the program of their intention to withdraw will receive a prorated refund of tuition. The refund for courses will be based upon the number of classes attended each session.
Refund Schedule:
100% refund:
Written notice of a change of registration submitted before the end of the first week of the term/session.
50% refund:
Written notice of a change of registration submitted before the end of the second week of the term/session.
25% refund:
Written notice of a change of registration submitted before the end of the third week of the term/session.

- cancellation of a course,
- involuntary call to active military duty,
- documented death of the student or a member of his or her immediate family (parent, spouse, child, sibling),

- exceptional circumstances approved by the President or the President's designee.
Refunds will be made within 30 days after the effective date of the student's withdrawal. Unless withdrawal procedures have been completed within the stated deadline, students are assumed to be active and responsible for tuition payments that may apply to their signed registration forms, whether or not an initial payment has been submitted.
Dropping and Adding a Course
