Undergraduate Tuition Refund and Withdrawal Policies

This policy applies to withdrawing from the University and not from withdrawing from a single course.  No consideration will be given to applications for refunds unless the student has filed an official withdrawal notice that has been approved by the Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs.

To start the official withdrawal process, please contact Chad Laliberte in the Office of Student Success at cj.laliberte@assumption.edu or 508.767.7310

The date of withdrawal is the last day of attendance. No amount paid is returnable upon a student’s voluntary withdrawal from the University as a matter of right. Also, no refund is made for delay in attending class at the beginning of a term or for withdrawal or dismissal beyond the eighth week of a semester.

Refunds made on tuition will be made in accordance with the following schedule:

  1. Tuition—100% refund if withdrawal is on or before the first day of classes;
  2. Tuition—90% refund if withdrawal is after the first day of the week that classes begin and before the end of the second week of the semester;
  3. Tuition—50% refund if withdrawal is on the first day of the third week of the semester and before the end of the fourth week of the semester;
  4. Tuition—25% refund if withdrawal is on the first day of the fifth week of the semester and before the end of the eighth week of the semester.

No refunds are granted on fees at any time.  Refunds are issued by Student Accounts once a week. We highly recommend students enroll in direct deposit for their refunds. To enroll, the student will need to go to the Manage Refunds tab within their Student Account Center in student portal. There they would enter their bank account number and routing number for direct deposit. If the student does not enroll in direct deposit, a refund check will be mailed to the student’s address on record with the Registrars’ office.  Any refunds due to the student will first be offset against any other amounts owed to the University.

Room & Board Refund and Withdrawal Policies

A student who is suspended or expelled from the University and/or suspended or expelled from on-campus residence is not eligible for a refund on their room or board.

If a student is withdrawing from housing, the refund will be:

  • 100% refund if withdrawal from housing is on or before the first day of classes;
  • 90% refund if withdrawal from housing is after the first day of the week that classes begin and before the end of the second week of the semester;
  • 50% refund if withdrawal from housing is on the first day of the third week of the semester and before the end of the fourth week of the semester;
  • 25% refund if withdrawal from housing is on the first day of the fifth week of the semester and before the end of the eighth week of the semester.
  • Refunds on board charges will be calculated on a daily pro-rata basis.

Any questions regarding how the housing withdrawal date is determined should be directed to the Office of Residential Life.
