Refund Policy - In harmony with practices of other institutions of higher learning, Boston Baptist College administers refund policies based on the principle that a student leaving college after a term has begun creates a vacancy that cannot be filled until the next term begins. Full refunds cannot be made because the student who leaves represents an allocation of funds, space, staff, and expendable supplies which cannot be recovered. Refund on the tuition for the Fall and Spring semesters are calculated according to the following schedule:

Withdrawal from college by:
5th day of the semester - 80%
9th day of the semester - 70%
13th day of the semester - 60%
17th day of the semester - 50%
After 17th day - NO REFUND

The same schedule will apply for all students whether their status is full-time or part-time. Board charges are refunded on a prorated basis, calculated on the number of days the student has been on campus during the semester. (There is a ten-day waiting period after the last payment by check before a refund will be made.) Room fees are non-refundable. Fees are nonrefundable. Students who receive Title IV may be entitled to a different refund schedule according to Department of Education regulations. The Financial Aid Office should be contacted for further information.
