Withdrawal/Tuition Refund Appeal Form
Examples of Supporting Documentation for Campus Appeals
A Withdrawal Appeal is the process of considering if a student is eligible for a class
withdrawal after the
posted period has passed for a session within a term due to extenuating circumstances,
including
medical reasons. If granted, the course(s) in question will remain on the student
record with a nonpunitive
grade of “W”.
A Tuition Refund Appeal is the process of determining if a student is eligible for
a tuition refund
exception outside of the posted refund dates within a term due to extenuating circumstances.
If
granted, it may involve the removal of the course(s) in question from the student
record.
A student has 1 year from the last day of finals for the session to file a Withdrawal/Tuition
Refund
Appeal. Before deciding to apply for a refund, the student must review the refund
policy and
guidelines on the Student Business Services webpage to determine if the criteria has
been met.
If a student has received any type of financial aid or loan, they must consult with
the Financial Aid
Office before submitting the Withdrawal/Tuition Refund Appeal Form to see how it may
affect the aid
