Refund Policy Due to Change in Enrollment: Students withdrawing from the University are required to complete the University’s withdrawal process. Withdrawal forms may be obtained from the Registrar’s Office.
A student who completely withdraws (including medical withdrawals) from any term will have charges adjusted based on the schedule below:
Before the first class meeting: 100% of tuition, room, meal and fees will be credited back to the account and all financial aid will be removed. The orientation and processing fee is non-refundable. Any payments made against the account (excluding advance deposits ) will be refunded to the student in the form of a check within three weeks of the start of school or when the University is notified of non-attendance. All refunds will be mailed to the address the University has on file.
During the first week (Drop/Add period): The University will calculate the total number of days the student attended (was enrolled) divided by the number of calendar days of the payment period (semester). This percentage will be used to determine charges for tuition, room, meal and other fees (excluding the orientation and processing fee). The health insurance will be removed at 100%. Financial Aid will be adjusted according to the Title IV guidelines.
The Second & Third Week: The University will calculate the total number of Days the student attended (was enrolled) divided by the number of calendar days of the payment period (semester). This percentage will be used to determine tuition charges to be charged and financial aid credits for the payment period.There is no reduction to room, meal and other fees.
After the Third Week: no reduction in institutional charges; however, the University must continue to return Title IV funds as required up to 60% of the payment period. A detailed copy of the Treatment of Title IV funds refund policy as required by the U.S. Department of Education is available in the Business Office. The withdrawal date and last day of attendance in classes are a factor in determining how much aid you are eligible to keep.** This may result in a balance due on your student account.
A student who changes enrollment status by dropping courses (not including complete withdrawals), will have adjustments made to tuition following the schedule below. No adjustments to tuition will be made for dropped courses after the census date. Financial Aid will continue to be adjusted in compliance with Federal and State regulations.
The census dates are below:
Fall - August 22, 2023
Spring - January 23, 2024
Students who move into a residence hall and/or use meals on a meal plan that fail to enroll for that current semester for any reason or is considered a Never Attend for that semester will be charged a pro-rated amount for the residence hall and the meal plan. Please note a Never Attend is a student that enrolls for classes and is administratively withdrawn due to non-attendance in all classes and does not participate in any academic related activity. This status is determined by the Registrar’s Office and must meet specific criteria. In this situation, The University will calculate the total number of Days the student lived in the residence hall and divide by the number of calendar days of the semester. This percentage will be used to determine the prorated amount charged for the residence hall and meal plan. Students will not receive financial aid to assist with these fees as you have to be currently enrolled to receive financial aid benefits.

Policy on the Return of Unearned Military Tuition Assistance Funds
Military Tuition Assistance (TA) is awarded to a student under the assumption that the student will attend school for the entire period for which the assistance is awarded. When a student withdraws, the student may no longer be eligible for the full amount of TA funds originally awarded. To comply with the new Department of Defense policy, North Carolina Wesleyan University will return any unearned TA funds on a prorate basis through at least the 60% portion of the period for which the funds were provided. TA funds are earned proportionally during an enrollment period, with unearned funds returned based upon when a student stops attending. These funds are returned to the military service branch. Instances when a Service member stops attending due to a military service obligation, the educational institution will work with the affected Service member to identify solutions that will not result in student debt for the returned portion. Please contact Veteran Services for the Schedule for Return.
