Registration Withdrawals Policy
A student who wishes to withdraw from a course must complete a Change of Program form and have it signed by the appropriate Academic Dean. The date of withdrawal shall be computed from the date the student completed and signed the Change of Program Form.
Withdrawal from courses may entitle the student to a credit of tuition. This policy refers only to tuition. Fees are not refundable. Please refer to the official Tuition Withdrawal Schedule for the semester, see below. The Tuition Withdrawal Schedule is based on the official start and end of the semester, regardless of when a particular course may start or end. Undergraduate tuition for 12 to 18 credits is set at a block rate during the fall and spring semesters, therefore, during the withdrawal period in fall and spring, there is no adjustment to tuition if a student withdraws classes within that range.
A withdrawal from courses may also affect the student’s eligibility for financial assistance. Students who are recipients of federal Title IV funds and who withdraw prior to the 60% point in the term will be subject to a recalculation of Title IV aid eligibility and will have to return or repay unearned Title IV funds. Eligibility for all other institutional, state and external awards will be determined on an individual basis.
Students should allow an appropriate length of time from the date of filing a Change of Program with the Dean for refund claims, if any, to be reviewed and processed and for checks to be mailed or direct deposits transferred.
Students are considered in attendance until they officially withdraw from school or are requested to do so by a Dean. Students who leave school voluntarily or drop a course, must do so through the proper channels or otherwise risk assuming full tuition charges. Failure to attend classes does not relieve the student of tuition and fees liability. Students who fail to formally withdraw may also be responsible for repaying all or part of the financial aid funds received in the term. Students who have a University issued laptop should return it to the Laptop Shop, Sullivan Hall, as soon as possible.
Any student who is withdrawn from the University for judicial reasons are withdrawn as of the official date and follow the financial policy and schedule.
Please consult your Dean for additional details or questions regarding this withdrawal process.
Medical Withdrawal
The University provides a petition process for Health Related Leave of Absence (HRLOA) or academic withdrawal due to medical reasons. In order to be considered for a medical withdrawal, please review the process for an academic Health Related Leave of Absence (HRLOA) at the Health and Wellness webpage, HRLOA.

Withdrawal Credit Schedules
All fees and the entire tuition for each semester are due and payable in full by payment and/or financial aid before registration can be completed. The University reserves the right to change the schedule of tuition and fees when necessary, but every effort is made to maintain them at the lowest possible level.
Students holding full tuition scholarships are required to pay the General Fee, Activity Fee, Technology Fee and any other fees required for the courses they are taking.
Registration is not complete until full payment arrangement is made or enrollment confirmed with a financial aid credit, and the University reserves the right to drop a student from an individual class or from his or her entire program if payment is not made by the due date or enrollment not confirmed with a financial aid credit.
With the exception of first-semester freshmen and certain students in “block” programs of study, students at St. John’s select their own classes via the St. John’s University Information System (UIS). This process of selecting classes is commonly called “registration,” but it is only part of the total registration process.
Registering for a class as approved by your Advisor does more than just reserve a seat for you in that class. It also generates a financial liability for that class and takes away a seat from another student. Because of this, St. John’s considers your registration as a clear indication of your intention to attend that class
Students, by registering at the university, personally guarantee and are responsible for all obligations to for tuition, fees and other charges. Students under the age of majority, under 18 in New York State, have by assumption received the personal guarantee of their parent(s) or guardian unless the student, the parent(s), or guardian notifies the University in writing of their invalidation of the personal and parental assumption of guarantee of all tuition, fees and other charges.
Students whose accounts are in arrears will not be permitted to register for a subsequent semester or issued a diploma. All past due balances are charged interest at the rate of one percent per month. Delinquent accounts may be referred to a third party for collection which will result in the addition of collection costs to the account balance and possible credit bureau reporting.
