Tuition Adjustment Policy for Withdrawal from Class
NO TUITION ADJUSTMENT CALCULATION WILL BE APPLICABLE UNLESS A STUDENT COMPLETELY WITHDRAWS FROM ALL REGISTERED CLASSES IN A SEMESTER.
The Institutional Tuition Adjustment Policy percentage for complete withdrawal from CBU is calculated by dividing the number of days completed in the semester (or applicable term), as of the date of official withdrawal (the date the student submits the withdrawal form to the Registrar), by the number of days in the semester (or applicable term) exclusive of breaks of five or more days.
No adjustment will be made if a student has completed more than sixty percent (60%) of a semester or an 8-week term. Advance deposits (including Application Fees and Tuition Deposits) are non-refundable.
