Refunds related to course and full withdrawal from summer quarter are different and published in the summer quarter academic calendar, available on MyBU. After the first week of the quarter, course withdrawals are accompanied by a W grade on the transcript (except in the case of courses that have not yet begun).
Bastyr University will return unearned Tuition Assistance (TA) up to 60% completion of courses directly to the Military Department (DoD) and not the Service Member. Any and all calculations of the returned unearned TA funds apply to the TA portion only and will be proportional based on the standard refund schedule at the time of course withdrawal.
1All courses (including weekend intensive courses) follow this refund schedule. Courses may not be dropped after the course has ended (example: weekend intensive and non-traditionally scheduled courses). Courses may only be added in the first week of the quarter (with the exception of weekend intensive courses). In order to manage patient scheduling, the University strongly discourages students from dropping clinic rotations. Students who drop a clinic rotation before the quarter may be assessed a financial penalty. Once the quarter has begun, there is no refund for clinical rotation withdrawals (except in the case of family or medical emergencies). Please see the clinic registration staff, in the registrar’s office, for more information regarding clinic rotation changes.
