completion of the program, will result in a Pro-Rata tuition refund computed on the number of hours completed to the total program hours.
Withdrawal or dismissal after completing 40% of the program will result
in no refund. Withdrawal or dismissal after completing 80% of a course
(s) in the program will result in the grade earned in the course(s) at the
time of withdrawal being posted to the students grade record, which will
effect the students GPA.
Termination date: In calculating the tuition refund due to a student, the
last date of actual attendance by the student is used in the calculation,
