Table 1.7b

** An evaluation processing fee will be assessed to a new student at the time of enrollment which shall be in the amount of $30.00. This fee shall be considered a one-time fee. However, under the following circumstances, the evaluation processing fee may be assessed again if the student:

• Voluntarily withdraws from the University
• Does not re-enroll within 365 days of completing a course
• Fails to maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
• Is administratively withdrawn
• Violated Code of Conduct
• Student does not return from an approved Military Deployment Withdrawal and applies for readmission at a later date

Course Textbooks, Software, Materials and Postage

Textbooks and software are available through the University Bookstore. A Textbook and Software Grant is available to students who qualify. The University will automatically ship new or used textbooks to the student after he/she has enrolled in courses. If the same textbook is used in more than one course, the textbook will only be provided once. Each student must supply his/her own writing materials, calculator, and postage for any communications to the University. The University pays postage on mail and parcels going to students in the U.S. (including APO and FPO addresses), Canada, and Mexico. Students in other countries must pay a $50.00 per course shipping charge.

Institutional Refund Policy

A student may withdraw from Grantham University for any reason. The student is responsible for completing university formal withdrawal procedures as outlined in the Withdrawal Policy of this catalog. In addition, if a student registered via an online portal, it is the responsibility of the student to withdraw via that same online portal. A withdrawal is considered to have occurred on the date the student officially notifies Grantham of his/her intent to withdraw by submitting the withdrawal form, or on the date the University determines the student ceased attendance or failed to meet published academic policies and is administratively withdrawn, whichever comes first. This is the date of determination (DOD) used to compute the refund according to institutional policy.

If a student is withdrawn from the University for any reason, or if a student drops a course(s) within the period allowed in any given 8-week term, the amount already paid will be compared to the tuition of the completed portion of that 8-week term. Any amount the student has paid in excess of the required amount will be refunded; if the student has paid less than the required amount, the student will be responsible for paying the difference.

* Non-refundable tuition registration is the lesser of 20% of tuition or $200.

Grantham is subject to and must abide by the refund policies of any branch, agency or department of the federal government with which it is in any way associated or affiliated. In the event of a conflict between Grantham’s Institutional Refund Policy and the refund policy of an affiliated federal branch, agency or department, the federal refund policy may supersede that of Grantham University.  For additional information, please review the Institutional Refund Policy in the University Catalog.
