Exceptions to the Refund Policy

Students who experience events beyond their control may request an exception to the course refund policy by submitting a general petition form to the Registrar’s Office. Petitions must be submitted in the same semester in which the course was taken and must be accompanied by documentation of the circumstances leading to the request.  Students who experience severe medical problems, a death in their immediate family, or who are called into active military duty may receive a 100% refund. Other requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and refund amounts (if awarded) will be decided by the Registrar. Petitions are reviewed monthly, and notification of the final decision is sent to the student by email.

The general petition form can be downloaded  and submitted through SEAM's online form.

*Full-Time Student Refund Policy

No refund will be granted for a full-time student who takes a leave of absence, withdraws, or is dismissed from Carey Business School after the first day of the term. For academically suspended students, a prorated portion of the tuition will be applied to future semesters based on the refund schedule. If a student fails to return or is dismissed permanently, no refund will be given. In instances where a student is receiving federal financial aid, the aid will be recalculated and refunded to the federal government. The student is still responsible for the entirety of the tuition.

In order to receive a full-time degree, the student must pay the entire published cost of the tuition regardless of the number of terms needed to complete the degree.
