Tuition Refunds

The Bursar's Office is committed to processing refunds quickly and securely. Direct deposit is the fastest and most reliable way for eligible students to receive funds, helping to minimize delays associated with other payment methods. Students are encouraged to enroll in direct deposit to ensure prompt receipt of funds.

Financial Aid Refunds 

Refunds for excess Federal Student Loan funds will be issued within 10 business days of the loan disbursement date.

Return of Federal Stafford Student Loans (Title IV Funds)

Withdrawing or taking a leave of absence may affect a student's Federal Financial Aid award. A federal formula determines if any Federal Aid must be returned. See the Financial Aid Federal Refund Policy for more information concerning the effects of withdrawing or taking a leave of absence from the IHP.

Tuition Refund Schedule

Refunds for full-term courses are based upon the class start date and is determined by the students' withdrawal date as recorded by the Office of the Registrar.

Refunds for short-term courses, including Summer semester Science-Prerequisite courses, are only granted during week one of the module. No refunds will be granted after that week. Fees and deposits are non-refundable.

Students are encouraged to always refer to the Official Academic Calendar for detailed refund schedule.

Tuition Refund Insurance Plan

We understand that students make a significant investment in their education. If a student experiences a serious illness or accident that prevents them from completing a term, it can impact both their studies and finances. To support our students and their families, the Institute offers a Tuition Refund Insurance Plan (TRP) for all active degree and certificate-seeking students. Degree and Certificate seeking students are automatically enrolled in TRP.

Important: 

  • Students must submit their waivers by the end of the 2nd week of the official start date of each semester.
  • Waivers submitted after the stated deadline for each semester will not be honored and students will be enrolled in and charged for the plan.
     

•    Protects tuition payments in the event of a covered illness or accident.
•    Offers up to a 75% tuition refund for withdrawals due to medical or mental health reasons, even after the standard tuition refund period ends.
•    Supplements the Institute's standard tuition refund policy.

This plan is offered purely as a service to students; the Institute does not profit from it. Premium payments are collected and sent directly to A.W.G Dewar Inc. 
 

•    Cost $81 per semester (2025-2026 academic year)
•    Automatic Enrollment: Degree and Certificate seeking students are automatically enrolled in TRP.
