 In the case of prolonged illness that requires the student's withdrawal from the university, refunds or credits for tuition, and room and board are prorated on a weekly basis from the date of official withdrawal. The student must provide a substantiating statement from the attending physician. Tuition is not refunded or credited for courses completed. This policy applies to both full-time and part-time registration.
