Refund

Refund Policy

Students wishing to withdraw from or drop classes must give official notice to the University. Refunds are not made if the student fails to give formal notice of their withdrawal and/or drop from classes. In order to give formal notice, students must submit an add/drop form to the Registrar’s Office.

Withdrawing from Courses

When a student withdraws from a course and still has a total of 12 units or more, there will be no refund issued. If the student’s total units drop below 12 units, then, depending on when this happens within the term, the student may be considered a part-time student and be eligible for a refund according to the Refund Schedule tables below.

In the event a student who is packaged as a full-time student drops below full-time status, that students’ financial aid will be pro-rated based on either 1/2, 3/4 time or less than 1/2 status. In the event the reduction in units leads to a credit, in accordance with institutional policy, that refund will be processed at the end of add/drop and after the Financial Aid department has disbursed the aid to the students’ account.

Withdrawing from the University

Woodbury complies with the Higher Education Amendments of 1992 for students who completely withdraw from the University. Accordingly, a prorated refund, if applicable, will be calculated based on the federal refund schedule. Non-institutional and non- refundable fees may be excluded from the prorated refund calculation depending upon whether they are required to be considered under a repayment calculation from the student.

Students withdrawing from the University should follow the procedures for official withdrawal as indicated in the student handbook. As part of this procedure, it is the student’s responsibility to indicate the last date of attendance. In the event the student does not comply with the official withdrawal procedure, the last date of attendance will be either the date of withdrawal recorded by the registrar or the date recorded by the Housing Office, whichever is later. Unused cash cards for food must be turned in to be included in the prorated refund calculation.

Refund Schedules

Withdrawing from or dropping all classes will result in the following financial consequences based on the schedules below. Whether any refund will result from tuition credit received as stated above will depend upon payments that have been made to the student’s account, less any prorated refunds to Federal Student Aid programs used to pay tuition for students receiving aid.
