If a student decides to terminate enrollment at Family of Faith College prior to the scheduled end of the semester and seeks a refund from Family of Faith College, he must notify the Registrar in writing to officially withdraw. A pre-printed form for this purpose can be obtained from the Registrar’s office upon request. This notification must contain the student's termination date. Refunds due to the student will be paid within 30 days from the official termination date. All refunds shall be calculated from the official withdrawal date. The student will not be entitled to a refund from Family of Faith College if official withdrawal procedures are not followed. Refer to Family of Faith College’s Return to Title IV Funds policy for details concerning refunds, repayment obligations, and/or late disbursements of Federal Title IV Student Financial Aid (a copy of this policy can be requested from the Financial Aid Office). Tuition is calculated on a semestral basis. Since it is quite possible that a student may have to withdraw in the middle of an academic year (that is, between semesters), refunds can be calculated on a semestral basis.
