Purpose

This policy outlines the conditions under which Freedom College of Excellence (FCoE) will adjust tuition and fee charges and issue refunds to students who withdraw from courses or the institution.

1. Tuition Refund Schedule

Refunds are based on the date the student officially withdraws from a course or the college. The following schedule applies to standard Fall and Spring semesters:

*Note: Certain administrative fees are non-refundable after enrollment.

2. Non-Refundable Fees

The following fees are non-refundable once the student has attended a course or after the specified deadline:

• Registration and Enrollment Fees
• Technology and Laboratory Fees
• International Student Orientation Fees
• Health Insurance Premiums (unless waived by the deadline)

3. Processing of Refunds

Once a withdrawal is processed, the Student Accounts Office will calculate any applicable refund. Credit balances resulting from federal financial aid are subject to Return of Title IV Funds (R2T4) regulations before any refund is issued to the student.

Refunds are typically issued via electronic direct deposit or mailed check within 14 business days of the credit appearing on the student's account.

4. Extraordinary Circumstances

Students may appeal for a tuition adjustment outside of the standard schedule under the following circumstances:

• Significant personal illness or injury (medical documentation required).
• Death of an immediate family member.
• Mandatory military deployment or transfer.
