Workshop Refund Policy (Study Abroad/Away and Non-Travel Workshop Courses)
In order to receive a refund of tuition for a workshop/program course that is held during the fall, spring, and summer terms, a student must request cancellation of registration no later than noon on the last business day before the workshop/program course start date. For the winter term, a student must request cancellation of registration by noon on the Monday following fall semester’s final exam week. Tuition is non-refundable if you fail to notify Global Initiatives by the above deadlines, even if you do not participate in the program. Further information regarding cancellations and refunds of study abroad/away programs and non-travel programs can be found online at: MiamiOH.edu/global-initiatives/continuing-ed/credit-workshops/students/cancellations-refunds/.
Dropped Courses
If a full-time student drops below 12 semester hours within the first five days of a semester, the student will be charged per credit hour for classes (instead of flat tuition and fees) and refunded the difference. A drop in hours after the fifth day of a semester does not create a refund.
Drop unwanted courses. Do not assume that you will be automatically dropped for nonattendance.

When a student withdraws completely from the University during a semester, the Office of Student Financial Assistance is required to calculate, using a statutory pro rata schedule, the amount of Federal Title IV financial aid the recipient has earned for the semester. This schedule is provided by the Department of Education. The amount of Title IV financial aid earned is based on the amount of time the student spent in academic attendance. The University Registrar's Office will inform The Office of Student Financial Assistance the date the student notified Miami of the intent to withdraw. This date is used to calculate aid eligibility. If you are thinking about withdrawing, please contact the One Stop for information on how it will affect your financial aid.
