Payment Policy
All charges for tuition, fees, room and board not covered by financial aid (as certified by the Office of Student Financial Services) are due and payable by the first day of class. Students will not be allowed to enroll in a subsequent semester until their accounts are paid in full. Transcripts and/or a diploma will be withheld if an account is not paid in full. Collection agencies are employed to pursue past due accounts.
Withdrawal from Classes
Students who must withdraw from a class must formally withdraw in the Graduate Programs Office no later than the fourth class meeting of a six-week course or the eighth meeting of a 12-week course in order to receive the neutral grade of “W.” Students withdrawing from courses after these dates will receive a grade of “FX” indicating failure because of excessive absences. The potential refund is dependent upon the date of withdrawal. (Please see Refund Policies below.)
Refund Policies
Refunds adhere to the following schedule:
• Before the first class meeting of a course -- 100% of tuition
• After the first meeting -- 75% of tuition
• After the second meeting -- 50% of tuition
• After the third class meeting -- 0% of tuition
Students who are forced to withdraw from a course because of extenuating circumstances must meet with the Director of the Graduate School about their ability to continue the program.
