Questions and Answers

Dismissal

Each student's individual school/college is responsible for determining if a student will be dismissed for academic deficiency. This is generally handled by the school/college's Advisory Center. They can speak with you about standards of their school/college, the standards of the University, and your particular situation.

Dropping an Individual Course

If a student wishes to drop an individual course after the drop deadline, he or she should be in touch with his/her individual school/college.

Description of Extension of Incomplete Form

If you require an extension for a previously approved incomplete, you may pick up an Extension of Incomplete form from the Dean of Students Office. You and your instructor will agree on a new deadline for completion of the course. You will then return the completed Extension of Incomplete Form to the Dean of Students office for processing.

Refunds for Cancellations and Withdrawals

Exerpted from Undergraduate Catalogue 2006/2007

All undergraduate students who withdraw from the University for any reason, must secure from the Dean of Students Office written acknowledgement of their withdrawal, and arrange with that department the details of their leaving.

No refunds are made unless this procedure is followed. See the section on Withdrawal and Cancellation, and Leave of Absence for further comment.

The University grants a full refund of advanced fees to any student academically dismissed. In certain other instances, including illness, adjustments to the following schedule of refunds can be made at the discretion of the staff in the Dean of Students Office.

Where notice of cancellation is received through the first day of classes of a semester, full refund (less the nonrefundable acceptance fee) is made if fees have been paid in full.

Students who applied for and were assigned to on-campus housing but withdraw from the University will be given 24 hours from the effective withdrawal date to officially check-out of their residential assignment. After this 24 hour period students will be charged a daily housing rate until the date official check-out has been processed.

Refund Schedule

After the first day of classes, withdrawal adjustments are made only on refundable fees according to the following schedule:

(a) Remainder of the 1st calendar week 90%
(b) 2nd week 60%
(c) 3rd and 4th week 50%
(d) 5th week through 8th week 25%

(Calendar weeks run Monday through Sunday; whatever day of the week on which the semester begins, the following Sunday ends the first calendar week.)

In addition, there will be a pro-rata policy in effect for those students leaving the university who have accepted Title IV funds. This is a new requirement from the federal government. These funds include Pell Grant, Opportunity Grant, Perkins Loan, and subsidized, unsubsidized and Plus Loans.

This policy determines the amount of federal funds that a student is entitled to use by calculating the number of days attended divided by the number of days of the semester and multiplying this percentage times the funds received. The amount the student is not entitled to keep is then returned to the proper program(s).

Because of the new rules, the student may be required to repay part of the loans to the 6-month grace period.
