Refunds
Dropped Courses. A tuition adjustment is made when a student drops one or more, but not all courses. The deadline for tuition adjustment due to dropped courses is July 13, 2008. Thereafter, adjustments to tuition are not permitted when a student withdraws from courses. For further explanation, contact the Office of the University Registrar.

Annulled Registration. Registration is annulled and tuition is refunded in full when a student withdraws voluntarily from all courses before the first day of instruction. The student is not included in University records as having registered for the term, and the new student will not secure any privileges for admission for any subsequent quarter as a returning student. An annulment does not automatically cancel health coverage unless the annulment is granted before the first day of instruction. Scholarships will be refunded to the Summer Session Office.

Withdrawal From The University. For students who must leave their studies after the first day of instruction, refunds are calculated on a per diem basis (including weekends and University holidays) starting the first day of instruction of each quarter. Tuition is charged on a daily basis (including weekends and holidays) through the first 60% of the quarter. After the first 60% of the quarter, students are liable for the full amount of tuition that they were charged. Tuition refunds are calculated based on the date that the student informed the Office of the University Registrar in person, by mail, or by email of his or her intention to take a leave of absence.

For courses and institutes that do not meet the above standard schedule, consult the Office of the University Registrar. Registration after the designated deadline for timely registration does not extend tuition refund periods.

Students seeking information about room and meal plan refund policies should consult Housing Assignment Services and the Stanford Dining office.
