Refund Policy

Students officially withdrawing or leaving from Olivet University may receive a partial or full refund of tuition. Regardless, a $15 drop fee will be applied per course drop fee. All other fees are non-refundable. Refunds will be based on the total charge incurred by the student at the time of withdrawal or leave, not the amount the student has actually paid. Students must complete a Student Withdrawal Form or Leave of Absence Form and submit it to the Registrar’s office. The effective date is the date that the student files the form. Refunds will be made within 30 calendar days of the notification of an official withdrawal or leave of absence.

Refund schedule

Fall, Winter and Spring quarter:

  • 100 percent Refund – Withdrawal or granted the leave of absence before the 1st week
  • Partial Refund* – Withdrawal or granted the leave of absence after the 1st week of the quarter and prior to the end of the 5th week or prior to the course completion of 50 percent

*Partial Refund is based on the tuition billed for the quarter in which the student withdraws, according to the following formula: Tuition billed for the quarter – tuition / total program hours program hours x course completed hours = refund due. For the purpose of this calculation, the total program hours equals the number of hours scheduled for the term.
