Refund Schedule

When a registration change is made, corresponding changes are made to tuition charges. The percentage of tuition refunded depends on the percentage of time students are enrolled in the term. This percentage is calculated by the date on which the official Change of Registration Form (PDF Format) is received or filed at SCS on either campus (for new students) or performed through CAESAR (for returning students). The refund schedule is available online at www.northwestern.edu/sfs/scsugrad/tuition.html. Students are responsible for all course fees regardless of the time they drop a course or withdraw from SCS.

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.
