Tuition and Fees Refund Policy
The following is the institutional tuition refund process for students who withdraw, drop courses, or interrupt their studies at Larkin University (LU). This policy governs institutional tuition and fee adjustments only. Federal financial aid adjustments are governed separately under the University’s Return to Title IV (R2T4) Policy.When there are credit balances on student accounts due to over-payment of Institutional charges, students may request a refund of the balance.
Official Withdrawal: An Official Withdrawal occurs when a student withdraws from all courses in a semester or ceases enrollment in their program. The official withdrawal date for students who submit a formal withdrawal is the date the Registrar or designated office receives the student’s written notification of withdrawal.
Course Drop: A Course Drop occurs when a student drops one or more courses but remains enrolled in at least one course.
Leave of Absence (LOA): A Leave of Absence is an approved temporary interruption of studies with the intent to return.
Drop/Add Period: The Drop/Add Period is a specific, limited timeframe at the beginning of an academic term when students can adjust their schedules by adding or dropping courses without academic or financial penalty.
General Refund Principles
- Refunds apply only to tuition and eligible fees.
- Application fees, late fees, and research fees are non-refundable.
- Refunds are issued within thirty (30) calendar days of the official withdrawal date or the date of institutional determination of withdrawal.
- Refunds are processed through the Finance Office/Bursar’s.

Special Circumstances for Full Refund: Tuition and eligible fees will be refunded in full for the current semester under the following circumstances:
- Courses canceled by the University
- Involuntary call to active military duty
- Extraordinary circumstances approved by the President of the University Documentation may be required.
Leave of Absence (LOA):
LOA Before Semester Begins: If a student is granted an LOA prior to the first day of the semester:
- The student is not responsible for tuition.
- Any tuition paid will be refunded in full.
LOA After Semester Begins: If a student is granted an LOA after the semester has started:
- The student remains financially responsible for tuition for that semester unless the LOA is granted within the drop/add period.
Clinical/Experiential LOA: For programs with block or rotation structures:
- Students are charged for the semester.
- If a block must be retaken, prorated tuition will be assessed at the time of re-enrollment.
- Return to a clinical or experiential rotation is subject to program approval.
Federal Financial Aid Considerations
Leave of Absence determinations are evaluated in accordance with federal regulations. If an LOA does not meet federal requirements for an approved Leave
of Absence, the student may be considered withdrawn for federal financial aid purposes and a Return to Title IV (R2T4) calculation may be required.
Scholarships
Institutional Scholarships
- Institutional scholarships are applied toward tuition charges only and have no cash value.
- Scholarships are forfeited if a student withdraws or takes a Leave of Absence.
- If a student withdraws, institutional scholarships are reduced in proportion to the applicable tuition refund.
- Under no circumstances will a student receive a cash payment resulting from institutional scholarship funds.
Donor-Funded Scholarships
Donor-funded scholarships are governed by individual fund agreements. If continuity of enrollment is not specified in the agreement, refund determinations will be made by the Finance Office/Bursar in accordance with the governing fund agreement.
Federal Financial Aid Disclosure
Students receiving federal financial aid should be aware that federal Return to Title IV (R2T4) regulations require a separate calculation to determine the amount of federal aid earned when a student withdraws. Withdrawal dates for federal aid purposes are determined in accordance with 34 CFR 668.22.
The institutional tuition refund policy is independent of the federal R2T4 calculation.
As a result:
- A student may owe a balance to the University even if institutional tuition was partially refunded.
- A student may have federal funds returned to the U.S. Department of Education.
- Loan repayment obligations may be affected.
Students are encouraged to contact the Office of Financial Aid and Student Access (OFASA) before withdrawing.
Debit Balances
If there is a debit balance after calculation of all anticipated charges and payments, students should make payments for the balances by the appropriate deadline. Payments must be completed online through the payment portal. After the payment due date is past, a one-time late payment charge ($150) and late payment fees (1% per month) may be assessed on the unpaid balance.
Fellowships and loan proceeds are credited to student accounts following the registration period. Late payment charges or late fees may be assessed on remaining charges not covered by fellowship or financial aid.
The Bursars’ office has automated the process of issuing refund checks. All credit balances generated by financial aid will be automatically issued and mailed to your preferred address in the Registrar’s system. Please make sure your address is correct with the Office of the Registrar to ensure you receive your checks. Refunds are disbursed within 14 calendar days from when the credit balance has been created or 14 calendar days from the start of the term whichever date is later.
Note: If a credit card payment was made to your account within 90 calendar days of the refund date, funds will be issued to the credit card first. Any additional credit that remains will then be issued to you. The refund of a credit balance is not intended as a final accounting of all charges incurred on your account.
