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.
