The Office of Financial Aid views receipt of aid for part of a semester as an entire semester's aid. The university makes available tuition insurance, which provides refunds in the event of a leave of absence or withdrawal for medical reasons. Complete details accompany the student's bill. The transcript will record voluntary or required leaves of absence and the effective date. All the semester's courses will be expunged from the student's record if a leave is granted during the first seven weeks of a term.
Students receive full refunds if they take a leave within one week of registration.
Thereafter, refunds are prorated according to a schedule published in Courses of Study . Students receive no refunds after the seventh week of the term. The student should write the advising dean who granted the leave at least six weeks before the term in which he or she wishes to be readmitted. At the end of each term the advising deans and the faculty Committee on Academic Records review the records of all students who are not in good standing. Students are not in good standing if they fail to complete 12 credits.
