If you decide not to attend Adrian College, it is your obligation to properly withdraw. Non-attendance of classes does not classify as an official withdrawal and does not relieve the student of his or her financial obligation or entitle the student to a refund.
All students who are given permission to cancel his or her registration or who are withdrawing from the classes shall be liable for payments of tuition and all fees in accordance with the liability schedule. The last day to WITHDRAW from classes without any tuition liability is the Add/Drop deadline.
Withdrawals
The process of withdrawing from Adrian College is a formal procedure which the student has the responsibility to initiate. A withdrawal after the add/drop period ends will have a “W” recorded for all registered courses on the academic transcript. A student withdrawing shall be responsible for payment of tuition and fees in accordance with the Tuition Fee Room and Board Liability Schedule. The date recorded by the Registrar’s Office will be used as the official withdrawal date for tuition/fees, room and board adjustment or refund purposes.
Cancellations
Cancellations must be made in writing before the add/drop deadline. No grade is recorded on the academic transcript for registered courses when a student cancels their registration. A Student who is given permission to cancel his or her registration shall be responsible for payment of tuition and all fees in accordance with the Tuition/ Fee, Room and Board Liability Schedule.
Non-attendance - Non-payment - Dismissal
Non-attendance of classes WILL NOT cancel your registration, nor will it relieve you of your financial obligation, or entitle you to a refund. Failure to appropriately cancel registration with Adrian College may result in the assessing of additional administrative fees to the student’s financial account balance.
A Student who is dismissed for academic or disciplinary reasons prior to the end of an academic term shall be liable for tuition and fees due for the term according to the Tuition/ Fee, Room and Board Liability Schedule.
Financial Aid Implications
When a student officially withdraws prior to completing more than 60% of the semester, Federal regulations require the Office of Financial Aid to apply a formula established by the U.S. Department of Education to determine the amount of Federal financial aid that has been earned by the student. The amount of Federal financial aid returned to federal aid programs is determined by the amount of time the student spent in academic attendance, but has no relationship to the institutional charges incurred by the student. Institutional aid will also be reduced following the same calculation to determine percentage earned.
For students that unofficially withdraw and/or finish a semester with all F’s or a combination of all F’s and W’s, a last date of academic related activity will be determined by the Registrar’s Office and a calculation of the percentage of earned aid will be based on this date.
Adrian College Statement of Student Responsibility
Adrian College Students, whether new, visiting, returning, or continuing, are responsible for reviewing, understanding, and abiding by the College’s regulations, procedures, requirements, and deadlines as described in all official Adrian College publications including, but not limited to, the Course Catalog, Student Handbook, web site, and class schedules.
Semester Adjustments - May Term and Summer School
A student who is dismissed or who completely withdraws after the first day of class, and before the end of the Drop and Add period, will receive a 100 percent credit on tuition. No credit will be issued after the Drop and Add period.
Special Circumstances Withdrawal
In case of withdrawal due to extenuating circumstances, such as serious illness or injury, some variance may be given to the regular withdrawal charges listed for tuition, room and board. Withdrawals of this nature should be reviewed fully with the Manager of Student Business Services.
Special Fees
No refunds are made on course fees after the add/drop deadline.
Scholarships and Grants
One-half of all verified grants, scholarships and loans (except for loans where the proceeds are paid directly to the student or parents) will be applied to each semester’s charges. Wages earned under federal Work-Study and campus employment programs are paid to the student by payroll checks, issued every two weeks, for the actual hours worked.
Student Health Insurance
Students attending Adrian College are responsible for their own health insurance coverage as the College does not provide or sponsor a health insurance plan for students. It is strongly recommended that students verify they have such coverage through their parents’/guardians’ insurance plan or purchase such coverage directly with an insurance carrier.
