The notice of cancellation and withdrawal is effective when delivered, postmarked, or e-mailed. The University will pay any refund due under the terms of the policy within 30 days of the written cancellation and withdrawal. The student is responsible for paying any amount due to the University as a result of an underpayment.
A grade of “F” will be automatically entered in the grade report if the student does not attend the final three weeks of class without being excused. Withdrawal grades are not included in the GPA. Refund of Tuition, if any, will be made in accordance with the Refund of Tuition and Fees regulation.
