Paying for College

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between a Withdrawal and a Drop?

  A withdrawal from a class happens after the refund deadline and is not refundable. A Drop from a class happens before the refund deadline and is refundable. If you Withdraw from a class you will receive a “W” on your transcript. Please be sure to check with your Success Coach to review your refund deadlines and GPA impact before you decide to Withdraw or Drop a class.
• When is my deadline to drop and still get a full refund?

  You can review the Official Refund Schedule for the deadlines. You can also contact your Success Coach to determine your deadline.
• If I drop a class that I paid for, will my refund be automatically mailed to me?

  Some students like to apply their refund to their next class or an outstanding balance, so we don’t automatically process your refund. Call your Success Coach to request your refund.
• I dropped my classes within the deadline but there is no refund credit on my account. Don’t I qualify for a refund?

  Most likely you have chosen to accelerate your class to the 8-week option, which would mean you wouldn’t be getting a refund. However, if you don’t see your refund credit, contact your Success Coach for assistance.
• Does my tuition get capped at 11 credits if I'm a military student?

  No. While you do get a reduced rate of $215 per credit hour, military students and student veterans do not get a tuition cap.
