Policy

The official date of withdrawal should truly and accurately reflect the student’s last day of attendance in any of their classes.  Upon withdrawal from the University for academic, medical or other hardship, tuition will be refunded according to the refund schedule. The refund schedule can be found at https://udayton.edu/fss/your_money/_refunds_for_withdrawal.php.

Appeals to refund amounts may be granted for extenuating circumstances (e.g., refunds may be appropriate in cases of student medical withdrawals reviewed in accordance with the Student Medical Withdrawal Policy).  Appeal determination will be handled on a case by case basis by the Director of Student Accounts.  The Office of Student Accounts (Bursar) may request supporting documentation related to the withdrawal and may consult with other University departments to validate the reason for withdrawal. 

Housing refunds will be in accordance with the Student Housing contract.  Dining Services refunds will be pro-rated based upon the date of withdrawal and remaining time of the semester.
