Refund and Withdrawal Policy

COMPREHENSIVE WITHDRAWAL/DROP POLICY

WITHDRAWAL DEFINITION

A withdrawal occurs when a student totally withdraws from all registered courses at Amridge University during a semester.

PROCEDURES FOR WITHDRAWAL

The withdrawal process begins with an emailed request from the student to WITHDRAWAL@AmridgeUniversity.EDU prior to 12:00, noon, CT on Friday of the 11th week of the semester which includes student name and number. Note: You will receive an email notice from the financial aid office detailing academic and financial ramifications that will result if you wish to finalize your withdrawal, you must follow the instructions at the bottom of the email. If this step is not completed, you will not be withdrawn. If the withdrawal policy process is not completed by the student within ten calendar days of the initial notification, the withdrawal request will be cancelled. If the student chooses to later withdraw from his or her course(s), the withdrawal date will be the date of the subsequent request. The student will again have ten calendar days to complete his or her withdrawal. There are academic and financial responsibilities associated with withdrawal. We recommend that you discuss your options with your advisor. The withdrawal date will be the date that the email request to withdraw is received by the registrar.

WITHDRAWAL FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Financial responsibility is calculated using the following rules.
1. Withdrawal prior to the first day of the semester, the student will be held responsible for a $400 Withdrawal Fee only. This fee will be waived for a first time Amridge University student.

2. Withdrawal beginning on the first day of the semester will result in the charge of a $75 per course Drop Fee, the $400 Withdrawal Fee, and a percentage of the tuition. Tuition percentage is calculated at 10% of the total tuition cost per working day of the semester, regardless of the date the student registers or the first day the course meets.

PROCEDURES FOR AND RAMIFICATIONS OF DROPPING A COURSE

The process to drop a course (not all courses) begins with an emailed request from the student to DROPANDADD@AmridgeUniversity.EDU prior to 12:00, noon, CT on Friday of the 11th week of the semester which includes student name and number. Note: You will receive an email notice from the financial aid office detailing academic and financial ramifications that will result if you wish to finalize your drop, you must follow the instructions at the bottom of the email. If this step is not competed, you will not be dropped. If the drop process is not completed by the student within ten calendar days of the initial notification, the drop request will be cancelled. If the student chooses to later drop from his or her course(s), the drop date will be the date of the subsequent request. The student will again have ten calendar days to complete his or her drop. The Drop Course date will be the date that the email request to drop is received by the registrar.
A student who drops a course (not all courses) prior to the first day of the semester will not incur tuition or fee charges for the course. A student who drops a course on or after the first day of the semester will be held financially responsible for the entire Tuition & Fees of the course and an additional $75 per course Drop Fee.

ACADEMIC RULES REGARDING WITHDRAWAL/DROP

1. If a student withdraws or drops a course(s) prior to the first day of the semester, no grade will be reflected for the course(s).

2. If a student withdraws or drops a course(s) on or after the first day of the semester but before the end of the eighth week (as defined in the school calendar), the grade(s) will appear on the student's record with a mark of "W" (Withdrew).

3. If a student withdraws or drops a course(s) after the eighth week (as defined in the school calendar), the grade(s) will appear on the student's record with a mark of "WF" (Withdrew Failing).

WITHDRAWAL FOR STUDENTS WITH A FEDERAL LOAN OR GRANT

Amridge University abides by federal regulations regarding the return of federal financial aid (Title IV funds). Title IV aid is earned in direct proportion to the length of time the student is enrolled. A student who remains enrolled beyond the 60% timeframe of the semester earns all the aid for that semester. The Financial Aid Office will determine the percentage of aid earned by a Title IV recipient by calculating the percentage of the enrollment period that the student completed. The university will return any federal Title IV funds received for a registered student who withdraws prior to the first day of the semester. Students withdrawing on or after the first day of the semester but prior to completing 60% of the semester will be required to repay a prorated portion of aid funds. If funds must be returned per federal regulations, that amount will be charged to the student's account and must be repaid by the student.

Students with federal loans and grants who excessively withdraw from or drop course(s) jeopardize their satisfactory progress toward graduation and may be subject to loss of eligibility for financial aid.
