Graduate & Post-Bacc Studies Refund Policy

This refund policy relates to students who are enrolled in and begin classes and fully matriculate into their program. A refund refers to college charges that are refunded to the student and/or to the financial aid sources that covered those charges. Refunds are made within 30 days of the student’s complete withdrawal from the college. Students who withdraw from all classes at Agnes Scott on or before the first class day of a semester will receive a full refund of any payment made toward tuition and student program fees. The $350 enrollment deposit for Graduate and Post-Bacc students and $500 enrollment deposit for PA students is non-refundable.

Agnes Scott's institutional refund schedule* for tuition when a student withdraws from a course is:

• 90 percent tuition refund (per class) when withdrawal is within the first week of the semester

• 50 percent tuition refund (per class) when withdrawal is before the end of the third week of the semester
• 25 percent tuition refund (per class) when withdrawal is before the end of the sixth week of the semester
• No refunds after the end of the sixth week of the semester

The semester begins with the first day of regularly scheduled classes, as noted on the academic calendar maintained by the Office of Registrar. The first week of the semester is the seven-day period beginning on the first day of class. The point of withdrawal is measured in weeks, and the student is considered to have withdrawn within a given week, as defined above, if the withdrawal date is prior to the end of that week.

The date of withdrawal from the college and emergency leaves of absence is defined as the last date of class attendance. The notification date for withdrawals from one or more classes is defined as the date when the Office of Graduate Enrollment receives notification from the student. The student must initiate the withdrawal process by contacting their program director and then complete the appropriate digital form. Withdrawal is complete upon receipt of the completed form’s electronic submission.

*This is an approximate refund schedule.
