Tuition is due in full on
August 26, 2024
The total tuition is considered fully earned by the University once scheduled classes have begun in any semester or summer session. Students desiring to drop/or withdraw from the University must formally notify the University of their intention by executing an official withdrawal process (web, phone, fax or form) from the Office of the University Registrar.
Drop Deadlines
Tuition charges paid after August 26, 2024 are subject to penalty fees. The University will refund tuition to students who qualify by formally dropping courses within the published deadlines. Failure to attend the course after registering is not justification for elimination of charges. Failure to pay will not release a student from the responsibility for these charges.
Official drops may be submitted to the University in several ways.
