Deferred Payment and Refund

Deferred Payment

When a student is unable to pay the entire amount due at the time of registration, the Director of Student Financial Affairs may approve payment in two installments as follows:

• At least 50 percent is to be paid at the time of registration.
• The balance must be paid by November 30 for deferment of fees granted for the fall semester and April 5 for deferment of fees granted for the spring semester.
• The student will pay an administrative fee that will be decided every year.

Deferred payment application forms are available at the Office of Student Financial Affairs (Room 152, Main Campus).

Please note: the deferred payment policy applies to continuing students only. It does not apply to a new student unless the student is applying for a Stafford Loan through the New York Office.

Refund Policy

A full refund for continuing students is made only for course(s) dropped before the end of the late registration period. Students who drop a course after the deadline for late registration are not entitled to any refund for the course(s) dropped. However, students who withdraw after the deadline will receive a partial refund. The amount of refund depends on the number of weeks that elapsed since the beginning of classes. Refunds are made according to the following schedule:

Summer-session students who withdraw one day after registration can be refunded the amount paid. Summer session students who withdraw more than one day after registration will receive a partial refund according to the following schedule:

* To cover university administrative costs, $6 or the equivalent in Egyptian pounds per course will be deducted from the refund.

The refund schedule refers to tuition for credit courses, audited courses, and instruction in the Arabic Language Institute and English Language Institute. The student services and activities fee, the application fee, laboratory and studio course fees, and special charges are not refundable.
