Cancellation Policy

If a student chooses to withdraw from the program or determines that they must withdraw from the University after the first day of classes, and prior to the start of the fifth week of classes, the Center will reduce the remaining balance of your payment plan according to the Beyond Access refund policy. For those cancelling enrollment in the Beyond Access Program, you will still be responsible for a portion of the program fee. If you withdraw during the first four calendar weeks, you will be responsible for the applicable program amount listed below.

If you withdraw at any point during:

  • the 1st calendar week of the semester, you are responsible for 10% of the total program cost.
  • the 2nd calendar week of the semester, you are responsible for 40% of the total program cost.
  • the 3rd or 4th calendar week of the semester, you are responsible for 50% of the total program cost.

Those students who, at the time of cancellation, have paid more than their applicable percentage listed above, will be administered a refund according to the Beyond Access Refund Policy. The refund will be initiated after written confirmation of the request to withdraw has been received.

No balance reductions will be offered after the conclusion of the 4th calendar week of the semester. If you feel that your situation warrants special consideration, you can appeal the decision per the instructions stated in the Beyond Access Refund Policy.
