At SPS, we understand that opportunities and disruptions will occur during your time as a student and we seek to be as flexible as possible so you can successfully complete your plan of study.

A student who officially withdraws during a semester may be entitled to a refund of tuition depending on the student’s date of withdrawal. Refunds will be reduced by the amount of any outstanding charges on a student’s account. There are no refunds for mandatory fees after the first class day in a semester as reflected in the academic calendar. If a student withdraws from a course and/or program, refunds are issued as follows based on start dates of each mini term:

REFUND SCHEDULE

Students are responsible for officially dropping courses to be eligible for an adjustment. Nonpayment for classes for which you are registered or non-attendance in a registered class does not release you from financial obligation and will not drop you from the class.

Students will be dropped from a course by the 10th instructional day for non-payment and/or non-attendance.
