Tuition Refund Policy
Any student who officially withdraws from any or all classes will receive a refund based upon the Reinhardt University Refund Policy listed below.
| Tuition Refund Period | Percentage Of Institutional Charges Refunded |
|---|---|
| Total withdrawal during the official drop/add period of the session | 100 % less $100 fee |
| Withdrawal after the drop/add period of the session | 0% |
There will be no refund of tuition or required fees if a class or classes are dropped after the last date of drop/add each semester/session. Refunds will be made only for students who completely withdraw from the University during the drop/add period. These refunds will be made according to the federal and institutional refund policies currently in effect.
Refund Checks
The Business Office disburses refund checks to the student once the student has attended class through the appropriate certification period and funds have been received. Whenever a school credits a student’s account with funds from a Federal Student Aid (FSA) program and those funds exceed the student’s allowable charges, a FSA credit balance occurs. A school must pay the excess FSA program funds (the credit balance) directly to the student as soon as possible: if the credit balance occurred on or before the first day of class of that payment period, then the refund must be sent no later than 14 days after the first day of class; if the balance occurred after the first day of class of a payment period, then the refund must be sent no later than 14 days after the date the balance occurred on the student’s account. Each student must acknowledge receipt of any award prior to receiving a refund check or a credit on the student’s account. A written request must be submitted to the Business Office should a student wish to leave a credit balance for future use.
Residence Hall and Meal Plan Refund Policy
A residential student who moves out of the residence hall within the first two weeks of class will receive a prorated refund based upon the policy listed below. Withdrawal date:
- First week of class: 93%
- Second week of class: 85%
- After second week of class: 0%
Refunds and Disciplinary Action
Students suspended or expelled for disciplinary reasons are not entitled to a refund of any deposits, tuition, or fees paid. Students who must vacate their residence hall rooms as a result of disciplinary actions (but are allowed to continue attending classes) are not eligible for a refund of that semester's room rent; however, meal cards may continue to be used in the Gordy Center.
