Fall 2026 Withdrawal Percentages

A student is eligible for the following tuition and fee reduction percentages if they withdraw from the university or complete a semester/term withdrawal.

 

  • Residential living costs are prorated based on the number of days spent in residential living.
  • Meal plan costs are prorated based on the number of days the meal plan is active for residential students or the last date used for commuters.
  • A tuition and fee reduction does not guarantee that the student will receive a refund. If financial aid is reduced, the student's account may have a balance due.
  • Students may drop all classes during drop/add during the first week of classes.

Important Note: Withdrawing from a course after the drop/add period has ended does not reduce tuition and fee charges, nor guarantee a refundable balance.

The chart below applies only to full university or semester withdrawals.
