Students who are considering withdrawal from the College should be sure to meet with the Dean's Office, the Financial Aid Office and the Bursar's Office before rendering their final decision. Housing and miscellaneous fees are not pro-rated after the start of classes. Coverage under the College's student health insurance plan generally terminates on the date of withdrawal. The unused portion will be credited to the student's account. Please note that withdrawal late in the semester could result in a balance owed to the College for federal aid that must be returned to the program.
Specific examples are available on request.
