Students who desire to withdraw from the Law School following the commencement of classes during any term, or students who fail to register for classes for the fall or spring terms, shall apply in writing to the Associate Dean for Administration for permission to withdraw.

Any student who withdraws without having obtained the Associate Dean's permission shall have his or her permanent record noted as having withdrawn unofficially and shall have no right to readmission except from petition, for good cause shown, to the Academic Advisory Committee. In this case, readmission will be granted only with the approval of the Committee and the concurrence of the Dean.

Students withdrawing with permission shall have their permanent record noted as having withdrawn officially and shall have the right to be readmitted within one school year commencing from the end of the semester for which the request was made.

Full-time students who withdraw from the College are charged a percentage of the tuition and fees based on the school week within which the withdrawal occurs. A school week is defined as the period beginning on Monday and ending on the succeeding Sunday. The first school week of a semester is defined as that week within which classes begin. Full-time students who withdraw from the College within the first school week of the semester are eligible for a refund of all payments for tuition and fees less the required enrollment deposit for entering students or a $50.00 administrative fee for continuing students. After week 1 of the semester, the amount of the tuition and fees charged/refunded will be determined based on the following schedule:

Week       Percentage Charged     Percentage Refunded

1                      0%                       100%

2                     20%                         80%

3                     30%                         70%

4                     40%                         60%

5                     50%                         50%

6                     60%                         40%

After week 6   100%                           0%

Students will not be eligible for any refund of tuition and general fees if required to withdraw by the College.

Refund of the room rent will be prorated based on the date the resident officially checks out of the room with required paperwork completed by a Resident Life staff member. The Gold Plus, Gold and Green meal plan adjustments will be prorated on the daily rate given the last day of usage. The Block meal plan adjustments will be based on actual meal and flex point usage.

For students paying through a tuition payment plan, all refunds will be determined by comparing the amount eligible for refunding to the total monthly payments made to date. Any outstanding amounts owed the College for tuition, general fees, dormitory fees or meal plan charges after deducting the eligible refund will be due immediately upon withdrawal.

It is College policy to hold the enrolled student liable for charges incurred, therefore in the case of refunding any overpayment, refund checks will be issued in the name of the student.
