Cancellation prior to commencement of classes by student

There will be no financial liability for students who withdraw prior to the commencement of classes with the exception of the non-refundable Admissions Fee.

Withdrawal from college after commencement of classes

Official Withdrawal: The student's withdrawal date is based on the date that the college is provided with "official" notice of withdrawal. Official notice occurs when the MBA Office is notified of intent to withdraw. Notification can be:

1. In person

2. By telephone

3. By letter

4. By email

5. By fax

The college strongly recommends an in-person visit so that withdrawal can be expedited. One-on-one counseling is provided which results in students being well informed regarding all the ramifications of their specific withdrawal. These include a delay in graduation, potential financial liability and potential loss of future financial aid due to academic pursuit requirements.

Unofficial Withdrawal: An unofficial withdrawal takes place when a student does not provide the college with official notification. In such cases, the date of withdrawal (assuming at least one day of attendance) is based on the midpoint of the semester. The withdrawal date for unofficially withdrawn students who attended after the midpoint will be determined based on the best available academic record. Withdrawal dates for students who did not notify the college due to circumstances beyond their control will be given special consideration for an earlier withdrawal date based on appropriate third party documentation of their circumstances. If a student withdraws or is dismissed after classes begin, he/she will be responsible for the administrative fee, actual bookstore charges and a percentage of tuition as shown on the following chart:

Students who wish to take a semester leave for a full semester may do so without losing matriculated status. Monroe College does not approve partial semester leaves. The procedure requires the student to inform the King Graduate School Office of a planned Semester Leave. Students who request a Semester Leave for 4 months (one semester) after completing an academically successful semester will be allowed to return in good standing upon completion of the re-admission process. Students who do not take advantage of the Semester Leave process will be considered a "failure to register" and, upon return, will be required to apply for re-admission.

NOTE: Students who do not attend the Spring semester are not required to complete a formal application for readmission, but must be authorized to register by the King Graduate School Office.
