Tuition refunds are partial. A student may cancel registration during the first week of the semester in which case only the deposit is forfeited (or twenty-five dollars if no deposit was required). After the first week of class, a student may voluntarily withdraw, and the tuition forfeiture increases progressively. Please refer to the Withdrawal Deadlines Schedule posted on the Student Financial Services webpage for the most current refund policy for complete withdrawals.
No refund is given after the fifth week of any semester. No refund is given if students drop only part of their coursework after the last day specified for approved schedule changes. No refund is given to a student who is dismissed.
Refunds for first-time Emory University students who are federal aid recipients (Title IV) will be prorated in accordance with the Higher Education Amendments of 1992 and any related regulations.
Readmission of students following withdrawal for medical reasons requires medical clearance by designated University health officials.
A student who withdraws may not continue to live in university housing or participate in student activities.
