Withdrawal from College

Withdrawal is a written formal process which must be completed with the Associate Vice President of Academic Success.

Since every college has many expenses of a continuing nature associated with each student’s attendance, it is understood the student is registered for the entire semester and responsible for tuition and fees incurred. However, if a student withdraws from the College before the dates listed below, he/she will receive a tuition refund according to the schedule listed. No refund is made on any fees. Keep in mind that Financial Aid Awards may be reduced because of early withdrawal and may result in semester costs.

When a student withdraws from or stops attending all courses before completing 60% of the term, they may be required to return a portion of the federal financial aid received, as they are considered to have "earned" only the aid relative to the time they have attended. This type of return is referred to as a Return to Title IV Funds (R2T4).

Students enrolled in off-campus programs through King’s College (i.e. Medical Technology, affiliated Study Abroad) will be subject to the withdrawal refund policy of the host institution.
