A student who officially withdraws completely from the university DURING the semester will forfeit the housing deposit but is entitled to receive a pro-rated refund of housing fees, based upon a weekly scale.
The Housing Office will determine if any refund of housing fees is possible for a student who leaves university housing for medical reasons. If a student is asked to leave university housing, the details concerning a housing refund shall be determined by the Director of Housing.

Summer Session
A refund of fees for a student who withdraws after the beginning of a summer session will be determined by the proportion of the term attended and will be prorated on the basis of the refund policy in effect for a regular session. It is the student's responsibility to submit withdrawal requests within the allotted time period.
