Refund Policy
The College refunds all overpayments or excess loan fund distributions each semester, after the finalization of financial aid and registration. Checks made payable to the student (with the exception of PLUS Loans (Parent Loans), which are made payable to the parent) are mailed to the permanent address. Fall semester refunds are issued in mid-October and Spring semester refunds are issued in mid-March.
Return of any portion of the comprehensive fee paid will be made only in the case of permanent withdrawal from the College. The amount of any refund is calculated separately for each payment period and is based on a percentage of the comprehensive fee for the period. After sixty percent of the payment period has elapsed, a student is no longer eligible for a refund for that period. The refund calculation is performed by the Financial Aid Office; a detailed explanation of the calculation is included in the Financial Aid Handbook.
OTHER REFUNDS
Paid reservation deposits are non-refundable. If a student withdraws from the College after payment of the reservation deposit, the paid deposit is forfeited.
Any residence hall damages for which the student is held responsible are applied against the security deposit held by the College. At the time a student ceases to reserve or reside in College housing, the balance of the deposit becomes refundable. Refunds may be processed within sixty days of a student’s withdrawal or graduation. In place of a refund, students may request that any remaining deposit amounts be donated to the College for a purpose determined by each graduating class.
