The refund policy in effect when a student drops a single course or completely withdraws from all courses during a period of enrollment varies depending on which campus the student attends, which program he/she is enrolled in and whether he/she is a financial aid recipient. The examples on the following pages are sample institutional policies. The percentages calculated are based on the number of days of classes. Courses that do not meet are treated as those with standard schedules:

  1. Unsubsidized Federal Stafford loans
  2. Subsidized Federal Stafford loans
  3. Federal Perkins loans
  4. Federal PLUS loans
  5. Federal Pell Grants
  6. Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants
  7. Teach Grant
