Refund Policies
On-Campus Undergraduate Program
Southern Wesleyan University considers the enrollment in at least one course as a contract binding the student for charges the entire semester. However, when withdrawal from school or a class becomes necessary, reduction in charges (tuition-only) will be made according to the following scale:
- During the 1st week of the semester: 100%
- 2nd week of the semester: 67%
- 3rd week of the semester: 33%
After the third week, there will be no reduction in tuition charges.
There will be no refund of fees after the first week.
Meal plans will be adjusted on a weekly basis, any part of a week counting as a whole week.
Room will be adjusted by the month, any part of a month counting as a whole month (4 weeks equal 1 month). No refunds will be made on rooms after 8 weeks (2 months).
In the event of a national pandemic, Southern Wesleyan University may treat graduating seniors in the directly affected semester as a separate group and address the room accordingly.
No refund will be issued to students compelled to leave school for disciplinary reasons.
No refund will be made for private music lessons missed unless the student has made proper arrangements ahead of time.
On-campus students must contact the Director of Retention prior to initiating a withdrawal from the university. No financial adjustments will be made if the student fails to withdraw properly, and a grade of F will be assigned for each course not successfully completed.
A permanent withdrawal during an academic award period may reduce or eliminate financial aid or VA assistance and/or eligibility and require that all or part of the assistance received be refunded to the lender. Students who receive Title IV financial assistance are subject to refund policies for their financial aid that are different from the one described above. When a student withdraws, a refund calculation which determines the amount of Title IV aid earned will be used to determine the amount of funds that must be returned to the sources.
Refunds calculated are returned to sources in the following order:
- Loan proceeds
- Grant proceeds
- Other federal, state, private, or institutional sources of aid.
Students receiving financial assistance may be required to repay an appropriate amount of the assistance advanced for the semester of withdrawal.
Refund schedules and examples for all Title IV programs are available from the Office of Financial Aid.
A student who wishes to withdraw should contact his or her faculty advisor, the Director of Retention, and the Office of Financial Aid before initiating a withdrawal.
SUMMER REFUND POLICY
If withdrawal is requested prior to the course start date, the student is eligible for a full tuition credit for that course. If withdrawal is requested after the course start date but before the start of the second week, 90% of tuition (whether or not the student ever attended) will be credited. If withdrawal is requested after the second week of the course, no tuition adjustment will be made. There will be no refund of fees after the start of the course.
