Tuition and Fee Refunds
Students who make a complete withdrawal from a term, including the summer, are assessed a withdrawal fee of $75. Late fees, application fees, withdrawal fees, tuition deposits, special fees, computer fees, special examination fees, and transcript fees are not refundable.
The Health Service Fee, Health Insurance Premium, University facilities fees, and student activity fees are not refundable.
Students who withdraw within the first 60 percent of the academic period are subject to a pro rata refund calculation, which refunds a portion of tuition based on the percentage of the term remaining after the time of withdrawal. This calculation is made from the date the student’s written notice of withdrawal is received by the Office of Engineering Student Affairs.
