Credits for private instruction earned at other universities will be counted in determining this minimum number.

Payment Policy
All charges must be paid in full by the tuition due date. All remittances should be made payable to the University of Redlands. Students with a past due balance on their University account are subject to dismissal from the University. The University will not release diplomas or process degree conferrals until the past due balance is paid in full. Students will not be permitted to preregister for the next term until the past due balance is paid in full. If the University is required to use third-party collections (i.e., collection agency or attorney) to collect the student account balance due, any future registration may require payment in advance.

Policy on Refunds
Students who voluntarily drop all courses in a term prior to attending will have tuition and fees refunded in full for that term. Certain fees may be non-refundable. Information regarding non-refundable fees can be found in the tuition, fees and expenses section of the catalog. Once a student begins attendance in a term, all fees are non-refundable.

College of Arts and Sciences undergraduate students are required to maintain full-time enrollment status in a minimum of 12 units. If a student drops below 12 units, their tuition will not be prorated or refunded unless they have been approved by the Registrar's Office to attend in a part-time status. Tuition for part-time students is billed at the per-unit rate for that academic year.

College of Arts and Science graduate students are billed on a per-unit basis. Tuition for courses dropped after the student begins attendance is refunded on a per diem basis starting with the first day through the first 60 percent of the semester.

College of Arts and Sciences students enrolled in the one-year MS Geographic Information Systems program are billed on a per-semester basis unless approved to enroll in a part-time status. Tuition for dropped classes will not be prorated or refunded. Tuition for part-time students is billed at the per-unit rate for that academic year.

If an undergraduate or graduate student withdraws or takes a leave of absence prior to the end of the term, the student must complete the official withdrawal or leave of absence process to be eligible for a tuition refund. Tuition is refunded on a per diem basis starting with the first day through the first 60 percent of the semester.

The withdrawal date used to calculate the tuition refund for course drops, withdrawals, and leaves of absence is the date the student completes the official withdrawal process or the last date of attendance at an academically related activity, if documented.

Official Withdrawal
A withdrawal is considered official for all students when written notice has been provided to the Office of Student Affairs. Written withdrawal or leave of absence notification is required to state the intention of the student to discontinue the course(s) in which he or she is registered and their last date of attendance. The withdrawal will be considered effective as of the date the student gives official notification of intent to withdraw. If a student fails to withdraw officially, the applicable date will become the midpoint of the term, unless the University can document a later date. In certain circumstances, if a later date of last academic activity is substantiated, this date can be used in lieu of the midpoint of the term.

Returning Students
Students re-enrolling after withdrawal from the University will be charged current rates and fees based on the start date of new registration.

Temporary Absence
No refunds will be made for students who remain away for part of a semester without officially completing the withdrawal or leave of absence process. No refunds will be made in cases of disciplinary action, which includes suspension or expulsion.
