Tuition Refunds

  1. Fees are not refundable.
  2. Tuition, Room and Board are fully or partially refundable only when a student officially withdraws from the college. Refunds for withdrawal will be prorated based on the number of days the student was in attendance at the college.
  3. NO REFUNDS will be processed for withdrawal once 60% of the semester (approximately 9 weeks) has been completed.

Tuition refunds are processed by the Bursar’s and Financial Aid Offices. A withdrawing student will be charged a $350 Administrative Fee. A resident student who breaks his/her Housing Contract after the beginning of the academic year by moving off campus with or without approval will be charged a $600 Housing Contract Cancellation fee. If a student breaks the Contract prior to the beginning of the Fall Semester, the student will lose the $200 deposit paid before room selection.

Refund Policy for Continuing Education

If a Continuing Education student withdraws from a course, refunds are calculated from the date the student notifies the Registrar’s Office. Ceasing to attend a class is not an official withdrawal. Tuition paid for cancelled courses is refunded in full. All other refunds, minus a $50 processing fee, will be made according to the following schedule:

  • Dropping courses before the official start date or first week of the term: 100% refund.
  • Dropping courses during the second week of the term: 50% refund.
  • No refund if withdrawing from courses after the second week of the term.
The refund policy for Summer Sessions and other Continuing Education programs are published in the appropriate bulletins. Please contact the Office of Continuing Education at (215) 489-2375 for details about these programs. In all cases, a $50 non-refundable processing fee is assessed to the student’s account. Questions regarding a tuition refund should be directed to the Bursar’s Office.
