REFUND POLICIES
Students must complete the Change
of Schedule Form in the Registrar's office when withdrawing
from any of his/her classes. This form will initiate the refund
calculation in the Business and/or Financial Aid Office. The official withdrawal date will be:
- The date the student began the institution's
withdrawal process or officially notified the
institution of intent to withdraw; or
- The student's last recorded date of attendance;
or
- The midpoint of the period for a student
who leaves without notifying the institution
This date will be used to determine the amount of the refund.
Refunds for students who are asked to withdraw will be computed
using the same refund formula as students who withdraw voluntarily.
If a student is receiving financial aid and withdraws from all
classes or leaves without notifying the institution during the
refund period, the refund will be returned to aid accounts in
the following order:
Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan

Federal Refund Policy
The Financial Aid Office recalculates the financial aid eligibility
for students who withdraw, are dismissed, or drop out prior to
completing 60% of a semester. A copy of the worksheet used for
this calculation can be requested from the Cincinnati Christian
University Financial Aid Office.
In cases where a student receives the credit balance existing
on his student account to use for living expenses after all institutional
charges have been paid and then withdraws from all classes, a
repayment calculation will be performed. These living expenses
are prorated based on the number of days the student completes
during the semester. The student would have to repay the student
aid programs for living expenses received for the weeks after
his withdrawal date.
Tuition for performing groups, charges for applied music instructions,
audit charges and all other fees are non-refundable.
A student who remains on campus after his/her last date of attendance
will be held liable for room and board charges beyond that date.
A letter detailing the student's refund will be sent to the student's
home address following withdrawal. When aid is returned, a debit
balance may be owed to Cincinnati Christian University. The student
should contact the Business Office to make arrangements to pay
the balance.
