The University's refund policies and procedures ensure equitable refunds to students who withdraw from all or a portion of their studies or when payment is in excess of the total charges.
Application fees and tuition deposits are not refundable. Registration, late payment, student activities, laboratory, maintenance of matriculation, and other special fees are not refundable after classes begin.
When a student withdraws from a portion of their course registration, the effective date of the course withdrawal(s) will be the date the student electronically submits their request using the online Course Withdrawal/Late Registration form. This form is also available on the My.Fordham portal, in the Student tab, under Electronic Forms. If the dean submits the request on the student's behalf, the effective date of the course withdrawal(s) will be the date the dean electronically submits the Course Withdrawal/Late Registration form on the student's behalf.
A student is considered withdrawn from the University only if an official withdrawal form has been submitted to the Office of Academic Records. The effective date of withdrawal will be the date this form is received by the Office of Academic Records, or in the case of withdrawal by mail to the Office of the Dean, the postmark date on the correspondence.
Institutional Charges and Room Deposits
The following refund schedules are based on 100% payment of all institutional charges and deposits. The refund period for tuition and fees begins on the first day of the enrollment period. Room deposit refunds are based on the time period that the Office of Residential Life is notified of withdrawal.
