Refund of Tuition

All students may withdraw from courses before the session begins with no tuition liability. Should you wish to withdraw from the University during a session, you must first fill out the appropriate forms at the Office of Student Financial Services and Registrar Suite and complete the withdrawal by the last day of classes.

Refunds will be calculated on the basis of the date of application for withdrawal or reduction in total semester hours due to program change. All tuition related fees are nonrefundable except in cases where the University has canceled a student’s course(s).

Please be aware that you are responsible to formally notify the University of any plans to drop or withdraw from courses and will be held responsible for all billings regardless of class attendance. Note: Non-attendance of classes does not constitute an official withdrawal, and does not relieve the student of his or her financial obligation, or entitle the student to a refund.

The University will remit tuition charges as follows:

Refund Deadlines and Rules

Please review the withdrawal deadlines at hofstra.edu/deadlines.

Students enrolled in a course that is canceled by the University will be credited full tuition and applicable fees. The number of classes attended has no bearing on the amount of refund given.

The date the withdrawal application is received by the Office of the Registrar, in person or by mail, determines the amount of the refund remitted in accordance with the above tuition remission schedule. Telephone calls are not acceptable.
