Withdrawal/Refunds
Withdrawals from courses must be made in person through the Office of the Registrar. Official withdrawal is necessary to assure the proper entry of grades on the transcript and the determination of any refund, if applicable. Refunds, which are issued by Student Accounts, are based on the full tuition charges. Failure to withdraw properly will result in the issuance of a withdrawal/failure (WF) grade. Those who improperly withdraw will be charged full tuition. Federal regulations require that veterans follow the University’s withdrawal procedure or be liable for repayment of any benefits received. All refunds will be based on the refund schedule and determined by the date of notification to the Registrar’s Office, not the date of the last class attended. Tuition refunds are based on the tuition charge:
100% before the start of classes/first week
80% before the second week
60% before the third week
40% before the fourth week
20% before the fifth week
0% after the fifth week
Registration and lab fees are nonrefundable unless the course is canceled.
Tuition refund for SHU Online programs is 100% prior to start of the first week, 80% the first week of classes, and 0% after the first week.
Refunds can take four to six weeks to process. After withdrawing, students must contact Student Accounts at 203-371-7925 to receive a refund. Refunds are only given to students who have no outstanding balances.
