Postponement of enrollment:
If an accepted
applicant chooses to postpone enrollment after
paying the enrollment deposit and room advance,
these payments will be held on deposit until the
student enrolls, provided notice of postponement
is received prior to the original enrollment date. If
notice is received subsequent to the original
enrollment date, the payments will be forfeited.
Students admitted after the deadline for full
refund may be refunded the enrollment deposit
but the refund schedule will apply to the room
advance.
“no-shows”:
An applicant who fails to appear on
the first day of the term for which he or she was
accepted, with no previously approved arrange-
ment with CIU SSM for late admission, is consid-
ered a “no-show” and forfeits refund of all
advance payments.
tuition:
All tuition will be refunded to students
who withdraw from CIU before classes begin.
Students who withdraw from CIU after classes
begin or who reduce their course load in such a
way as to affect total tuition charges for the
semester will receive refunds according to the fol-
lowing schedule:
•
Through the end of the registration period:
100%
•
Through the second week of classes:
90%
•
Through the fourth week of classes: 50%
•
Through the eighth week of classes:
25%
•
NO OTHER REFUNDS ARE PROVIDED
Students who withdraw totally or partially receive
tuition refunds based on the date of withdrawal.
On-campus students who reduce their loads to
fewer than nine semester hours may continue to
live on campus as space is available. Students
receiving financial aid must also check with the
Office of Student Financial Services concerning
refunds.
room rent:
Room rent is billed for the semester
at the time of registration. Since room space once
reserved cannot be reassigned subsequent to
registration, room rent does not fall under the
schedule for refunds and cannot be refunded.
Board:
Board is billed for the semester at the time
of registration. If a student withdraws from CIU
SSM, a full refund will be given for board beyond
the week of withdrawal. Should students owe CIU
SSM any money, the refunds will be credited as a
payment on their accounts.
music Lessons:
Music lessons are regulated by
the policies of other courses, so discontinuation
of music lessons must be processed as a
dropped course. Music fees cannot be refunded
after the close of the registration period.
financial aid:
In order to provide CIU scholar-
ships to as many eligible students as possible, all
current CIU scholarships are forfeited when a stu-
dent withdraws before the end of a term.
