Refund Schedule
The refund schedule is applicable to:
- Undergraduate students who drop from the flat-fee range (12-18 credits) to 11 credits or fewer, or who drop from 19 or more credits to 18 credits or fewer; and
- All students who withdraw completely. This schedule is based on the total applicable charge for tuition excluding nonreturnable fees and deposits.
It should be noted that the registration and services fee is in no case returnable.
Federal regulations require adjustments reducing financial aid if a student withdraws even after the NYU refund period. Financial aid amounts will be adjusted for students who withdraw through the ninth week of the semester and have received any federal grants or loans. This adjustment may result in the student’s bill not being fully paid. NYU will bill the student for this difference. The student will be responsible for payment of this bill before returning to the University and will remain responsible for payment even if he or she does not return to the University.
For any semester a student receives any aid, that semester will be counted in the satisfactory academic progress standard. This may require the student to make up credits before receiving any further aid. Students should review the "satisfactory academic progress" standard for their school so they do not jeopardize further semesters of aid.
