Refund Policy
Students cannot drop or withdraw from a course(s) by merely stopping attendance.
Students can drop a course(s) free of charge during the add/drop period of each Semester/Session. Students can either drop a course(s) online or by informing an academic advisor. After the add/drop period students are liable on the full tuition of the courses registered.
Cancellation of tuition (refund) applies in the case of termination of studies in accordance with the refund schedule below and provided the students inform their academic advisor in writing. The termination date will be considered to be the date on which the written notification is received. Apart from tuition, all other fees (i.e. Application fee, Registration fee, Insurance fee, Activities fee, Technology fee, etc.) are NOT refundable.
Cancellation of tuition (refund) will be based on the following schedule:
| Time of Withdrawal | % of Cancellation (Tuition Refund) | % of Tuition Charged |
|---|---|---|
| (Fall and Spring Semesters) | | |
| Before classes start* | 100% | 0% |
| During the 1st week of classes | 80% | 20% |
| During the 2nd week of classes | 70% | 30% |
| During the 3rd week of classes | 50% | 50% |
| During the 4th week of classes | 25% | 75% |

* For international/Non EU students, in case the visa is approved and the student decides not to proceed with their registration, an amount of € 500 will be deducted as non-refundable.
No refund of tuition will be made for whatever reason, for students who have been expelled, dismissed, suspended for disciplinary reasons, or denied visa on the basis of fake documents.
In exceptional cases, any student credit balances (that relate to Non-Refundable Fees) can be used against future tuition, at the absolute discretion of the University and provided this occurs within the next 2 semesters following withdrawal from courses. It is noted that student credit balances are NOT transferable to other student accounts, either current or future.
