Course Withdrawal Refunds

Learn about refund policies for tuition payments at UMGC Europe.

We invite you to join the Student Services and Financial Aid team in our remote office using Zoom at: https://umgc-edu.zoom.us/j/840013102

 

How to Withdraw

Students who must drop or withdraw from a course are responsible for completing the drop or withdrawal  through MyUMGC or by visiting their local UMGC Europe field office. The date a student drops or withdraws in MyUMGC will determine the date for refunds. If you drop a course during the drop period, you will qualify for a full refund or tuition.

If you officially withdraw from a course during the withdrawal period, you will be refunded a portion of the tuition, as determined by the date of withdrawal and the refund schedule. Your record will reflect a W for the class. 

Army students must contact the staff at their local UMGC Europe office for assistance to drop/withdraw from a course until 8 March when ArmyIgnitED opens. Please check our Getting Started with ArmyIgnitED for updates on the new process starting in March 2021.

Tuition Assistance: Students using tuition assistance must contact the center that issued the tuition assistance to discuss the reasons for withdrawing from the class and possible repayment of funds.

The following actions do not constitute formally withdrawing (dropping) from a course and may result in a failing grade and forfeit of any refund:

  • Stopping payment on checks or registration fees
  • Non-payment of tuition charges
  • Never attending or ceasing to attend class(es)
  • Verbally requesting to withdraw from class(es)

When to Withdraw

The following withdrawal schedule applies to UMGC Europe students:

  • On-site classes and weekend seminars: before the final day of the course
  • Hybrid classes: no later than nine days prior to the last day of class
  • Online classes: before 65% of the total days of a class

Students receiving financial aid are strongly encouraged to contact the Financial Aid Office before withdrawing to fully understand the impact on their current and future financial aid. Students are responsible for withdrawing themselves from courses.

Students seeking an exception to the withdrawal policy due to extenuating circumstances may complete the Request for Exception to UMGC Withdrawal and/or Refund Policy form to have their request considered.

Military Students Using Tuition Assistance

If you are using TA and withdraw from a class prior to completing 60 percent of the class, you may be required to pay a small portion of the tuition, due to Department of Defense regulations. Learn more about return of tuition assistance. Contact your service branch for more information.

Refunds

We want to keep you abreast of the most recent withdrawal (drop) information.

This policy is effective for classes starting Summer 2019 and beyond:

  • If you drop a class on or after the course start date and within
    • the first 6 calendar days of a 7-week class, you will receive a 100% refund.
    • the first 7 calendar days of an 8-week class, you will receive a 100% refund.
    • the first 10 calendar days of an 11-week class, you will receive a 100% refund.
    • the first 12 calendar days of a 14-week class, you will receive a 100% refund.
  • If you withdraw after these dates, a portion of the tuition may be refunded.
  • All refunds are calculated using the date the withdrawal is formally initiated, not the date of the last class attended.
    Look up course start and end dates.
