Refund Policy
Registration/ Visa fees and deposits are non-refundable and ineligible for account credit.

No refunds or credits for tuition or housing fees will be issued for withdrawals after May 1, 2026. Tuition and housing will not be prorated for student absences or partial attendance.

Housing fees are not eligible for a refund or credit once a student has checked into the dorm.
