Room

All residential housing fees are non-refundable upon signing the residential contract.  The terms and conditions set forth in the student housing contract remain in force for the entire academic year during which the student resides in campus housing.   Any request to cancel the housing contract shall be made directly to the Office of Residence Life in writing by completing a contract release/waiver petition.  Students who check out of housing prior to the end of the contract period and who do not receive a contract waiver will be held responsible for the full remaining cost of the contract.

Board

Refund of board charges will be made based upon the unused portion of the student's meal plan for those students who withdraw from the University before the end of a term.

Financial Aid

Student Financial Services will calculate any necessary refunds and returns of Federal and institutional financial aid based on the date a student drops from full-time to part-time status or completely withdraws.  Aid refund calculations for students dropping from full to part-time status are based on overall charges in tuition and fee rates, coupled with any other particular award requirements.  Aid refund calculations for completely withdrawing students are pro-rated, calculated on a daily basis up to the 60% completion point of the term.
