Tuition and disbursed institutional aid will be adjusted in accordance with the Tuition Refund Policy within the first 28 calendar days of each semester.

The Title IV calculation is based on the day of attendance as a percentage of total days in the semester until 60%.

Room and board charges are not refundable unless covered under the Tuition Refund Insurance Plan.

Summer Sessions

Refunds are computed as of the date on which a written request for withdrawal is received in the Registrar’s Office. Registration fees are not refundable. Tuition and fees are charged based on course loads as of the last day of add/drop each semester. Charges will not be adjusted if courses are dropped after the last day to add/drop. Tuition refunds will only be processed if a student withdraws from the University within the first 28 calendar days of the fall or spring semester. No adjustment of semester charges will be granted to students who are suspended or expelled for academic or disciplinary reasons. The University reserves the right to suspend or dismiss at any time a student whose academic standing or general conduct is considered unsatisfactory.

Students receiving financial aid should review the refund policies described in the Financial Aid sections: Disbursement of Awards and Return of Title IV Funds Policy.

Refund and Withdrawal Policy for Service Members

Stevenson University students who are called to active duty during the course of a term or session should contact the Assistant Registrar, VA Programs to formally withdraw for military service. For the purpose of this policy, military service is defined as “service, whether voluntary or involuntary, in the armed forces, including service by a member of the National Guard or Reserve, on active duty, active duty for training, or full-time National Guard duty under federal authority for a period of more than 30 consecutive days under a call or order to active duty of more than 30 consecutive days” (ED 34 C.F.R. 668.18).

Students who withdraw from the University for military service during the course of a term or session are eligible for a 100% refund of tuition and fees. Room and board expenses will be prorated based on the official date of withdrawal.

Students must supply a copy of military orders to be eligible for any tuition, fees, or room and board adjustments. Students receiving financial aid will be subject to the refund policies as provided by the federal or state agency sponsoring the aid. Department of Defense Military Tuition Assistance and Veteran’s Education Benefits will be returned to the government agency as required.

Students who have to withdraw from the University after the add/drop deadline will receive a grade of W or I, depending on the amount of coursework completed and the expected length of the absence.

Financing Options

Stevenson University offers a payment plan option through Tuition Management Systems (TMS). Payment plans are the sensible approach to paying education expenses. They allow for smaller, affordable payments instead of paying the balance in one large lump sum.

The plan requires regularly scheduled payments over a five month period for each semester. The enrollment fee is $50. This is not a loan program; there are no interest or finance charges.
