School of Nursing Refund Policy for Dropping a Course
This policy defines the institutional tuition refund per a course when a student voluntarily withdraws (drops) from a course during a period of enrollment.
The following schedule for tuition refund is to be applied to the individual course:
- Calendar days 1-7 = 100 percent refund
- Calendar day 8-14 = 75 percent refund
- Calendar days 15-21 = 50 percent refund
- Calendar days 22-28 = 25 percent refund
- After calendar day 28 = 0 percent refund
For “Fast Track” online courses (NSG 305, 309, 310, 311, 312, 313, 315, 322 & 323), RN First Assist Program (NSG 488), Legal Nurse Consultant (NSG 435), Medical Terminology and Care Manager Education Program: No refunds given after student is given access to the course and/or once the class begins.
NOTE: Course fees and lab fees are not prorated or refunded in any way. Also, note that the above refund policy is applicable even if you have tuition benefits. You are responsible for the cost of the course minus the refund according to the schedules above.
Students declaring withdrawal or inactive status for medical reasons or other extraordinary circumstances may be granted prorated charges throughout the term with the approval of the Associate Dean for Education and Student Affairs. Students receiving financial aid are advised to check with the Financial Aid Office before changing their status to see if their aid will be affected. Students receiving SON Scholarship support should also check with the SON Scholarship team at SONScholarships@urmc.rochester.edu.
School of Nursing Refund Policy for Withdrawal/Leave of Absence
This policy defines the tuition refund when a student voluntarily or involuntarily withdraws from all courses within a term. An active student who withdraws or takes a leave of absence from the School of Nursing on or after the first day of classes and through the seventh day of the term (first week), will receive a full tuition and fee refund (100%). An enrolled student who becomes inactive on or after the eighth day of the term but before the time when s/he will have completed 60% of the period of enrollment will have their institutional charges and institutional aid adjusted based on a daily proration of attendance. Federal financial aid is adjusted as described below. A student who withdraws or takes a leave of absence after the 60 percent point of the period of enrollment will receive no refund of institutional charges or financial aid for that term. (It is important to note, however, that this is likely to impact renewal eligibility for financial aid in the next period of enrollment. For more information, contact the financial aid counselor and/or see the Satisfactory Academic Progress policy for details.)
Per Federal regulations, a student earns his/her aid based on the period of time s/he remains enrolled, including during the first week of classes. Unearned Federal Title IV funds, other than work-study, must be returned to the appropriate federal agency. During the first 60 percent of the enrollment period, a student earns Title IV funds in direct proportion to the length of time s/he remains enrolled. A student who remains enrolled beyond the 60 percent point earns all the aid for the payment period.
