The above schedule only applies to full-time students OR part-time students [in the undergraduate day program] as of the last day to drop/add, and are based on the standard academic calendar for Fall and Spring semesters.  Full-time students who fall below full-time status by dropping or withdrawing from a course after the drop/add deadline will not be eligible for any refund.  Part-time students who withdraw from all courses after the drop/add deadline are eligible for a tuition refund based on the above schedule.  In those circumstances the refund amount would be based on the official withdrawal date as determined by the Registrar’s Office and Office of The Provost.  If a part-time undergraduate day student (as of the last day to drop/add) withdraws from one or more courses in a standard fall/spring semester but are still concurrently enrolled in at least one class, those withdrawn courses are not eligible for a tuition refund.

Further, if disciplinary action results in the loss of any University or University-contracted service for the student, no refund except pro-rated board is available, unless required by federal, state, or other regulations.  Students withdrawn by the University or administratively withdrawn in-between semesters would be eligible for a refund tuition refund for an upcoming term.

Tuition Refund Policy for Dual Enrollment (Course Taken at High School)

Students may withdraw from the course any time prior to the end of the fifth week of instruction at the high school for 100% tuition refund. In order to qualify for 100% tuition refund, the student must notify both the high school teacher and É«ÖÐɫ’s Office of Admission (admission@moravian.edu) in writing by the course withdrawal deadline. At the start of the sixth week of instruction, there is no opportunity to withdraw and no refund.

Appealing the Tuition Refund Policy

Students who formally withdraw from the University mid-semester or in the middle of a class session based on extreme hardship in the specific cases of medical illness, mental illness, injury, unforeseen life circumstances, or death of an immediate family member may appeal to have their tuition refunded for the term in question.  Students who are called to active military duty or training are also eligible to appeal.  Students who wish to appeal must provide their completed and signed Tuition Refund Appeal Form to the Director of Student Accounts detailing the reason for appeal, along with any supporting documentation that the student can provide.  The Director of Student Accounts, in cooperation with an appeal committee and VP for Finance and Administration will review the student’s case to determine the most appropriate course of action and any amount of tuition refund based on the circumstances.  Students may not appeal the tuition refund policy for any other reason, including Administrative Withdraw or Withdrawal by the University. 

The committee will not typically consider tuition refund appeal requests for the following reasons: 

  • Registering for the wrong course or having no knowledge of being registered
  • Misinterpretation, lack of knowledge, understanding, or failure to follow official drop/withdraw procedures
  • Non-attendance or minimal attendance in class
  • Inadequate investigation of course requirements prior to registration and attendance
  • Non-qualification of financial aid and/or scholarships
  • Financial hardships
  • Textbook, software, hardware, or technical difficulties
  • Failure to meet course prerequisites
  • Other personal errors in judgment involving transportation, childcare, availability of finances, academic ability, and time management

Students with unresolved student conduct allegations or incomplete student conduct sanctions will not be permitted to appeal.  No request will be considered after the last date of classes in the succeeding semester (Fall or Spring) as published in the academic calendar, and the appeal must be initiated and submitted by the student.  Any decision rendered by the Committee is final.
