  • TUITION INFORMATION

  • **Total program cost excludes the cost for the retake of failed courses and/or replacement textbooks or materials. University of the Potomac reserves the right to change the above costs, including tuition, at any time.

  • Payment:
    Tuition and fees will be paid at the time of registration unless the student is eligible for financial aid and clearance has been given by the Financial Aid Administrator or other financial arrangements have been made with the Business Office. Students are responsible for any financial obligation incurred while attending University of the Potomac (the "University") regardless of any anticipated financial aid.

  • Cancellation and Refund Policy:
    Rejected Applicants: If an applicant for enrollment is rejected by the University, all monies paid to The University will be refunded.

    Three-Day Cancellation: An applicant who provides written notice of cancellation within three days (excluding Saturday, Sunday and federal and state holidays) of signing an enrollment agreement, making their initial payment or first visiting the University, whichever is the latest act to occur, is entitled to a refund of all monies paid. No later than 30 days of receiving the notice of cancellation, the University shall provide the 100% refund.

    Other Cancellations: A student has the option to withdraw from the University at any time by giving notice of their intent to terminate enrollment in writing. In the absence of the student giving written notification, the student is dismissed from the University after 14 consecutive calendar days from the last date of attendance, or upon the failure to return from an approved Leave of Absence.

    For purposes of determining refunds, the number of days enrolled is calculated from the start date to the last date of attendance. The students withdrawal date is either the date the student notifies the University of their intent to withdraw, or the date the University determined the student was no longer attending, usually 14 calendar days after the date of last attendance. Class days missed due to absences are included. Time out of class due to an approved Leave of Absence, schedule conflict, termination and re-enrollment, and school closure is excluded.

    When a student withdraws from a standard term-based program comprised of a series of modules, the University must determine whether a Return of Title IV Funds calculation is required and if so, the length of the period of enrollment or payment period, as applicable. The Return of Title IV Funds Policy of the U.S. Department of Education entitles recipients of Title IV aid to retain aid on pro-rata schedule up through completion of 60% of the semester. After the 60% point in the semester, the recipient is entitled to 100% of the scheduled aid. A student who terminates prior to the 60% point may be obligated to pay the University a portion of charges incurred and/or a repayment to the Title IV programs.

  • Institutional Refund Policy
    Tuition is charged on a session basis. All fees are non refundable. The Institutional Refund Policy generally allows the University to earn 100% of the institutional charges from students who complete 60% or more of the semester. The student's withdrawal date is the date the institution determined the student was no longer attending. The institution may take up to 14 days from the last date of attendance to make the determination that the student was no longer attending.

  • TUITION REFUND

    Last date of attendance as percentage of the
    payment period for which the student was obligated    		 Percentage of Tuition
    obligated and paid to be returned
    Less than 10% 100% refund
    10% up to but not including 20% 80% refund
    20% up to but not including 30% 60% refund
    30% up to but not including 40% 40% refund
    40% up to but not including 60% 20% refund
    60% or more No refund

    Refund will be sent back via the original sources of payment that the University received it from. If applicable, refunds to agencies, private loans, scholarships, and to the student will be made within 30 days of the date the student is determined to have withdrawn. Notification will be sent to the students of all refunds made.

    Although the staff cannot advise students on when to withdraw from their program the students are encouraged to become familiar with the refund policies, make their own decisions and take the appropriate actions.

    All other charges are non-refundable.
