Refund Policy

If a student who is receiving any form of financial aid withdraws and is entitled to a refund, a portion of that refund may be returned. If the student’s award package included any federal funds other than Federal Work-Study and the withdrawal occurs in the first 60% of the term, federal regulations require that a portion of the student’s federal aid be returned to the aid programs. For more information, please review the Policies and Disclosures section available on the HMS Financial Aid Office website.
