When a student withdraws from a program, or changes enrollment to fewer credit hours, certain procedures must be followed and the student may be eligible for a partial refund of tuition payments.
Financial Aid recipients who change their course registration or withdraw after the beginning of each semester must notify the financial assistance office.
Enrollment status is very important to aid eligibility. Financial aid refunds due to withdrawal are calculated using percentage of the term not completed as dictated by federal aid regulations. More information about aid adjustments and refunds due to change in enrollment status, may be obtained from the Financial Assistance Office and the Lancaster coordinator of student financial services.
