Establishing the Date of the Student's Withdrawal from School

To calculate a tuition refund or a financial aid refund or repayment, Student Financial Services establishes the student’s withdrawal date as follows:

  1. If the student officially withdraws, the date of withdrawal is used.
  2. If the student withdraws unofficially (drops out without properly notifying the school), the student’s last recorded date of class attendance is used. The student’s last recorded date of class attendance is determined, documented, and confirmed by the instructor, the vice president for student administration, or the Academic Records Office.
  3. If the student is expelled, the date of expulsion is used.

The Academic Records Office provides Student Financial Services with lists of students who have dropped all classes or dropped to less than six credit hours.
