responsible for no more than $50 in unauthorized charges. There is a fee

Refunds
Tuition and fees for courses dropped during the first two weeks of a
term are adjusted in full. After the first two weeks and until four weeks,
tuition is prorated based on the number of weeks attended and the
total number of weeks in the term. After four weeks, there is no tuition
adjustment. A student dropping all courses should refer to the policies
for withdrawal listed in the Withdrawal from the College section of this
catalog.
Refunds are made only upon the receipt of an official withdrawal form
properly completed. To withdraw officially from the College, a student
must notify the Provost’s Office in writing of the intent to withdraw. For
adjustment purposes, the date of withdrawal is considered the date the
College is officially notified of the withdrawal. If a student withdraws with
the permission of the Provost within four weeks after registration day,
