Under no circumstances will fees be included as a refund.

Notes on Withdrawal
- The week of withdrawal is the week in which verbal or written communication is received by the Registrar’s Office (or a later date if the notice so stipulates). The first week of classes is the week in which the first day of class falls. The class week starts at 12:01 a.m. on Monday.
- The standard refund policy will apply to students who have been suspended or dismissed for disciplinary reasons.
- All loans received though Elmira College will be pro-rated based on the college refund schedule if the student withdraws during the academic year. Refunds for Federal Title IV financial aid are governed by federal law and a federal refund schedule. Students who withdraw or take a leave of absence from the College during an enrollment period should contact the Bursar in McGraw Hall, room 127, (607) 735-1762. The Bursar completes the Department of Education worksheet for Return of Title IV funds using the withdrawal or leave date to determine the amount of federal aid the student is eligible to receive based on the percentage of time enrolled in the term. All days during the term (except for scheduled breaks of five days or more) are counted. Federal aid is pro-rated on a daily basis until the student has completed 70% of the term (at which time, the student has earned 100% of Title IV funds).
- Elmira College will debit the student account for any Title IV program funds that the school was required to return. The refund policies for Title IV Funds and Elmira College are separate. Therefore, a student may still owe funds to Elmira College to cover unpaid institutional charges.
- Elmira College does not automatically issue refunds unless required under Title IV (federal aid exceeds allowable billing charges), or the student graduates or withdraws. If a student does not request a refund, the credit balance will remain on the student’s account to offset future charges. Questions concerning Title IV guidelines should be directed to the Office of the Bursar.
