Refund & Withdrawal Policies
BUSINESS OFFICE NEEDS TO REVIEW ALL CONTENT
Degree-Seeking Students
Degree-seeking students who withdraw from Saybrook University during a semester shall receive a pro-rata tuition refund in accordance with the Federal Return of Federal Funds policy. Student refunds for tuition will be computed provided that a student has not yet reached the 60% point of the semester. Students should contact the Business Office to arrange payment for any balance owed.
The effective date of withdrawal for tuition refund is the date the Registrar receives an official written notification of the student’s request to withdraw. Not registering for courses or not filling out a TPOA is not considered a notification of withdrawal.
New Students will receive a 100% refund of tuition, less the Residential Orientation fee, if they notify the chair of their program in writing that they are withdrawing from the program before the last day of the Residential Orientation.
Non-Degree Students
Students may receive a refund by notifying the Office of the Registrar in writing of his or her intent. The effective date of withdrawal is the date the Registrar receives the written notification.
Students will receive a 100% refund before the course begins. After the student’s course of instruction has begun, the following percentages apply to non-degree students.
-
Within first week: refund of 90% of tuition paid
-
Within first month: refund of 60% of tuition paid
-
After the first month: no refund
