In addition, a student will not be able to take final exams, receive grade reports, or receive official transcripts until all account balances have been cleared. For international students, failure to pay in a timely manner may also result in termination of the student’s SEVIS record.
Although all fees are non-refundable, tuition may be refunded according to the schedule below. No refunds will be made after the third week of the fall and spring semesters, after the third class meeting of summer courses, or after the start of the 2nd day of classes for one-week mini-terms.
