Withdrawal
Students choosing to withdraw from the program must submit a written notification to the Office of Professional Programs. Students who have three unexcused absences in a row will be contacted from the Office of Professional Programs to determine student well-being. If the student is determined not to be in need, the Office of Professional Programs will work with the student for them to return to the course of study. After this well-being assessment, if a total of 10 consecutive days of unexcused absences are achieved, the student will be notified that the LCSVM has determined they have withdrawn from the program. After this point, the student must petition for readmission into the professional program. However, the Associate Dean for Professional Programs may make exceptions to this policy, if the circumstances warrant.
Refunds
Refunds for students officially withdrawing from college during the 2027-28 academic year will be made as follows:
Before the first day of class, there will be a 100% tuition refund. From the first day of class to the end of the first week of classes, there will be an 80% tuition refund. From the end of the first week to the end of the second week of classes, there will be a 60% tuition refund. From the end of the second week to the end of the third week of classes, there will be a 40% tuition refund. From the end of the third week to the end of the fourth week of classes, there will be a 20% tuition refund. From the end of the fourth week and thereafter, there will be no refunds.
If the student withdraws during Lyon’s refund period, all of the student’s institutional scholarships and grants will be returned to his/her sources on a basis consistent with the College’s refund policy. For example, a student who withdraws and receives an 80% tuition refund will receive 20% of his/ her institutional scholarships and grants for that semester, equaling a percentage of the tuition he/she was charged for the semester.
Enrollment is checked as of the College’s census day (the 11th day of class) each semester for certifying enrollment/hours necessary to receive scholarships and grants. If students who receive federal aid withdraw prior to completing 60% of a term (including the summer term), the financial aid office must return a portion of the students’ federal funds to the federal government. The percentage of the federal aid disbursed for the term that must be returned is equal to the percentage of the term that the student did not complete. Private, outside scholarships are not returned to the donor unless the donor specifically requires it.
All outstanding student accounts become due and payable immediately upon a student’s withdrawal.
A tuition refund plan is available through a private insurance carrier to guarantee partial refund of tuition charges in the event of a medical withdrawal from the semester.
Appeals of institutional refund policy by students who feel that individual circumstances warrant exceptions from the published policy may be addressed in writing to:
