学费资助退款政策

Until a student has passed the 60% point of a payment period, only a portion of the student's tuition assistance has been earned. A student who remains enrolled beyond the 60% point is considered to have earned all awarded aid for the payment period. Please note students who are enrolled in modules, or courses which do not span the entire length of a semester, would also be included in this calculation.  

Students withdrawing from classes are responsible for payment of any balance due after the required return of 学费援助 funds. 

Earned aid is not related in any way to institutional charges. 除了, University's institutional refund policy and Return of 学费援助 refund policy are independent of one another. A student who withdraws from a course or courses may be required to return unearned TA funds and still owe the university for the course or courses.
