Students who withdraw from the University, or change their status from full-time to part-time, after the semester begins must complete the appropriate forms in the Registrar’s Office. The date of notification and the date the room is vacated are used in the calculation of tuition and board refunds. The amount of refund is determined in accordance with the withdrawal fee schedule.

The Financial Aid Office is required by federal statute to recalculate federal financial aid eligibility for students who withdraw, drop out, are dismissed, or take a leave of absence prior to completing 60 percent of a payment period or term. The federal Title IV financial aid programs must be recalculated in these situations.

Student Health Insurance provided by United Healthcare (UHC) can be waived until August 31.  After this time it may only be waived for a Life Status Change.  A Life Status Change is defined as becoming eligible for coverage under a parent or spouse’s plan or being called into Active Military Status. Should either of these situations occur the student can contact RCM&D directly to submit proof of coverage and request a prorated refund.  As long as no claims have been paid or are pending, a prorated refund will be provided by United Healthcare.  Refunds are sent direct from UHC to the student.
