Refund Policy and Schedule

While the tuition deposit and fees are not refundable under any circumstances, students may be eligible to receive a full or partial tuition refund. Northwestern University's refund policy is based on the percentage of time (number of days in the term, including weekends and holiday) that you were enrolled as a student in your class. The Office of Student Accounts considers the date of the drop in CAESAR or the completed Change of Registration form is received at the Office of the Registrar the effective date in making financial adjustments.

In general, if you drop or withdraw

  • Before the term begins, 100% of the tuition is refunded. However fees are not refundable.
  • When or before 10% of the term has elapsed, 95% of the tuition is refunded.
  • After 10% and when or before 25% of the term has elapsed, 75% of the tuition is refunded.
  • After 25% and when or before 50% of the class session has elapsed, 50% of the tuition is refunded.
  • After 50% of the term has elapsed, no refunds are given.

During each Summer Session classes meet for various durations and have start and end dates through-out the summer, you should consult the Office of Student Accounts (555 Clark Street, Evanston, IL 60208; 847/491-5224; www.northwestern.edu/sfs) for help with determining your potential refund.

Tuition adjustments are made to your Northwestern University account, not your credit card account. If you have a credit on your account, you may request a refund or leave it on your account to be used toward future charges. New students should contact the SCS finance office at 312-503-3119 for their refund if they paid by credit card. Other students should contact the Office of Student Accounts to arrange for a refund.
