Housing Refunds

These refunds are pro-rated based on the number of days of occupancy.  The occupancy start date is the day housing opens to an individual each semester.  The end date is the date of key return to the Office of Residential Life as outlined in the Housing Contract.  No refunds are granted for the final two weeks of each term.

Dining Refunds

These refunds are pro-rated up to the value remaining in the semester in which the withdrawal occurs. No refunds are granted for the final two weeks of each term.

Refund of Credit Balances

A refund must be requested in writing by the student as a signature is required. To download the .pdf request form click here.  Refunds to Non U.S. Citizens may be subject to NRA federal income tax withholding.  Scholarship payments directly to non-resident aliens, including refunds of a student account credit balance, must always be treated as non-qualified scholarships, and are therefore reportable and require withholding, unless a treaty or code exemption applies.

Financial Aid Refunds
