of the term for which they were accepted, with no
previously approved arrangement with the univer-
sity for late admission, is considered a “no-show”
and forfeits refund of enrollment and room
deposits.
Tuition Refund Schedule
All tuition will be refunded to students who with-
draw from the university before classes begin.
Students who withdraw from the university after
classes begin or who reduce their courseload in
such a way as to affect total tuition charges for
the semester will receive refunds according to the
following table:
Through the end of the registration period —
100%
Through the seventh business day after the first
day of regular classes. In effect, for two days after
drop/add —90%
From the previous date (the 90% deadline) for two
weeks —50%
From the previous date (the 50% deadline) for
four more weeks —20%
MODULAR COURSES —Schedule published with
course registration materials.
NO OTHER REFUNDS ARE MADE.
Students who withdraw – totally or partially –
receive (for the portion of their withdrawal) the
stated percentage above, based on the date of
their official withdrawal (a schedule of actual with-
drawal dates for each period of enrollment is
available in the CIU Registrar’s Office). On-cam-
pus students who reduce their loads to fewer than
nine semester hours may continue to live on cam-
pus, as space is available. No tuition refund shall
be made beyond the academic year in which the
courses were taken. Students receiving financial
aid must check with Student Financial Services
concerning refunds. Registration fee, course fees,
student activity fee and other fees are non-refund-
able.
Room Rent
The initial payment includes the semester charge
for room rent. Since room space once reserved
cannot be used for a semester, no room rent is
refunded regardless of date of withdrawal.
Board
The initial payment includes the semester charge
for board. A refund will be made of board beyond
the week of a student’s official withdrawal. Should
the student owe the university any money, this
refund will be applied to their account.
MISCELLANEOUS
Music Lessons
Students who enroll for music lessons are not
allowed to discontinue them except under the
same policies which allow dropping other cours-
es. Refund of music fees cannot be made after
the registration period.
Veterans
Refunds to veterans studying under Title 38,
whether the veteran withdraws voluntarily or is
dismissed, are made on a strict pro rata basis.
This refund includes tuition and all other fees
except the registration fee.
Upon registration, students become financially
responsible for their charges for the entire semes-
ter. Withdrawal does not relieve any student of
these obligations. No diploma or transcript of aca-
demic record is granted to students who are
financially obligated to the university.

without prior notice.
