Refund Policy
The official date used to determine a refund is either the date of the transaction, the date the withdrawal form is filed at the Information Desk at the Student and Faculty Services Center in Adelphi or the postmarked date on a written request.
The official date for federal financial aid recipients is the last date of class attendance as determined by federal regulations. Learn more.
Financial aid awards may be canceled or reduced for financial aid recipients who withdraw from classes. Financial aid recipients should check with a financial aid advisor when withdrawing from a course to determine the impact on their awards.
Refund for Courses Canceled by the University
The university refunds 100 percent of tuition and technology and registration fees for courses canceled by the university. The application fee is nonrefundable, even when a course is canceled.
Tuition Refunds for Withdrawals
The amount that students are refunded for tuition is based on the date of withdrawal.

Federal Return of Funds Policy
Students receiving federal financial aid have the responsibility to follow UMUC’s withdrawal procedures. The 1998 Reauthorization of the Higher Education Act requires UMUC to calculate a return of Title IV funds on federal financial aid students who withdraw from all classes on or before the 60-percent attendance point in the semester. UMUC is required to return to the federal programs any award funds that were unearned based on the percentage of attendance.
Students who stop attending all classes without officially withdrawing will also be subject to a return of funds calculation at the end of the semester, based on the last documented date of attendance as determined by the faculty.
