Fees and Withdrawal from the University
If you decide not to attend the term(s) in which you are registered, you must officially withdraw from the University in accordance with Regulations Concerning University Withdrawal. Otherwise, you are liable for all applicable tuition and other fees.
If you use Minerva to drop your last course between September 1 and the end of the withdrawal period with full refund, you will be deemed withdrawn from the University. You are automatically charged a registration cancellation fee of $200 (or your registration deposit fee, whichever is higher) to cover administrative costs of registration.
If you stop attending classes without dropping your courses, you are liable for all applicable tuition and other fees. See Regulations Concerning University Withdrawal.
