Tuition Refund Policy For Students Who Withdraw Or Who Initiate A Long-Term Leave Of Absence

Students who withdraw or who initiate a long-term Leave of Absence during an academic year are obligated to pay full tuition, if the period of their enrollment   has been 60% or longer of an academic term.   If the date of their official withdrawal occurs before the first 60% of a term a pro rata cost of tuition reduction will be calculated based on the number of days remaining in the enrollment period.  The calculation of "earned tuition" charges will consist of the number of days of student status divided by the number of days in the enrollment period. 

For example, if a student withdraws on the 65 th day of a term of 135 days (48% of the term), the charge would be 48% of prevailing tuition costs and the refund would be 52% of the tuition charge.  If the student withdrew on the 81st day of that term or later, there would be no refund , since the 60% point of that term had been reached.

The date of withdrawal is determined by the date that the Offices of Medical Education of the School of Medicine and Dentistry receives written notification from the student.   The adjustment of charges and all refund calculations are done by the Bursar's Office upon receipt of a change-of-status form from the Registrar's Office.

A calendar of applicable dates for each class is available in the Bursar's Office, as well as a sample of calculations to review.

Calculations are performed using Deparment of Education software which incorporates all R2T4 (Return to Title IV) regulations.
