The following Institutional Refund Policy is a reference for students withdrawing from the University, as related to state supported undergraduate day classes. Charge reduction information for dropping or withdrawing from Graduate, Online and Continuing Education courses may be found on the SGOCE Refund Policy page.
The information below reflects the percentage of tuition and fees the student will be charged dependent on the official date of withdrawal or leave of absence. If a student is using Financial Aid against their total charges, please refer to the Financial Aid return of Title IV Refund Policy.
Please note this refund policy is for tuition and fees only. Room and meal plan/food charges are dependent on the date you move off campus.
Students that are withdrawn by the administration for judicial matters may be ineligible to receive a reduction of charges for tuition, fees and/or room and meal plan / food.
Day Tuition Appeals Process
If you feel that you have an extenuating circumstance that justifies an exception to the institutional refund policy, you may appeal your charges and it will be reviewed by the Day Tuition Appeals committee.
