Board fees are refunded on a pro-rata basis. Room and incidental fees are non-refundable. Institutional financial aid will be charged back at the corresponding tuition refund percentage. Federal assistance will be refunded according to federal guidelines.
Students who do not officially withdrawal or are administratively withdrawn from CMU may forfeit eligibility for a tuition refund. When students earn a zero grade point average (0.0 GPA) for a payment period, they are not eligible for a tuition refund despite the possibility that they may be subject to federal funds returns (See Return to Title IV Funds).
