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

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.
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 $45. This is not a loan program; there are no interest or finance charges.
