Tuition Refund/Credit After the Start of Course
Total tuition liability is limited to the term during which the student withdrew or was terminated, and any previous terms completed. Refunds are subject to the time-based refund schedule below:
| Length of Course | Amount of Credit/Refund Given to the Student (minus applicable application fees) AFTER the start of the… | |
| 8 weeks | 1st Week (Days 1-7) | 80% |
| 2nd Week (days 8-14) | 60% | |
| 3rd Week (days 15-21) | 40% | |
| 4th-8th Week (after 21 days) | 0% | |
Sample Refund/Credit Calculations
- Example 1: A student who is enrolled in BIB101 (8-week course), withdraws from CCU during week 2, the student will be refunded 60% of tuition, and CCU will retain 40% of tuition plus the registration fee. The student will be refunded $693.00 of the $1,155.00 tuition. (Exiting from CCU = Refund)
- Example 2: A student who is enrolled in CBL261 (8-week course), withdraws during week 3, the student will be credited 40% of tuition towards next course, will retain 60% of tuition. The student will be credited $462.00 of the $1,155.00 tuition. (Withdrawing from Course = Credit on CCU student account)
Refunds
Refunds will be issued within 30 days of the date of student notification, or date of school determination (withdrawn due to absences or other criteria as specified in the school handbook or catalog). A Refund Request Form must be filled out before the refund is issued to ensure the correct contact information is on file to issue the refund.
If the university cancels an educational program or course, it will allow the student to transfer to a comparable program or course. If a student chooses not to transfer, the university will provide the appropriate credit.
The university may withdraw a student from the program at any time for academic reasons or misconduct that violates the mission or vision. The university shall notify the student in writing and cite reasons for withdrawal. The student shall be notified immediately upon the university’s decision. The effective date of the withdrawal will be on the letter mailed to the student.
The university maintains a cancellation and withdrawal log that includes students’ names, addresses, telephone numbers, and dates of cancellations or withdrawals.
If the university cancels an educational program or course, it will offer the student the opportunity to transfer to a comparable program or course. If a student chooses not to transfer, the university will provide a refund based on the date the educational program or course is canceled.
Payment of Accounts
Students must pay tuition online through the convenient, secure payment system on Populi, our learning management system. A payment link is in Populi under your profile, financial tab. The university invoices students for all course enrollments each trimester and/or module, which represents a 16-week period (trimester) or per module (3 8-week modules). Tuition must be paid in full by the first day of each course, or a payment plan must be set up within Populi.
Other Cancellation Policy
An applicant requesting cancellation in any manner, more than 72 hours after signing an enrollment agreement and making an initial payment, but prior to the first day of a course, is entitled to a refund of all monies paid minus the application fee.
University Exit
A university exit is interpreted to mean that you intend to cancel all enrollment in any courses you are enrolled in, and leave the university with no intention of returning to your studies at the time the form is submitted. Simply dropping courses or non-attendance does not constitute an official withdrawal. If a student decides to formally exit the university, the student must complete the CCU University Exit Form or the University Exit Form located on the CCU website under Student Services>Student Forms & Resources. Refunds are assessed from the date an Exit Form is received based on the chart under “Tuition Refund/Credit After the Start of Course” section in the catalog.
Course Withdrawal Policy
A student may withdraw from or drop a course by completing a Course Withdrawal Form which will notify the Director of Admissions (pamela@calvarychapeluniversity.edu). A course withdrawal form is also located on the CCU website under Student Services > Student Forms & Resources. The official course withdrawal date will be the date the student submits the course withdrawal request to the Director of Admissions. A credit for tuition costs will be given to the student’s account based on the withdrawal chart located under Tuition Refund/Credit after the start of the course section.
