Georgia Residents Refund Policy

The following refund policy is applicable to prospective students and students attending Johnson & Wales University who are legal residents of the state of Georgia:

1. An accepted applicant will receive a refund of any amount paid to the university with respect to a term if, prior to the commencement of classes for that term, he or she makes a request for a refund to Student Academic & Financial Services within three business days after making the payment.
2. A student who provides official notice of withdrawal following the commencement of the academic term will receive a pro rata refund of tuition and fees (other than the orientation fee which is used for the purposes of orientation) as follows:

% of total class days in the academic term elapsed prior to date of official notice of withdrawal:	Refund of Tuition and fees:
1 day – 5%	95%
6% - 10%	90%
10% - 25%	75%
25% - 50%	50%
More than 50%	No refund

In the event that a refund is made under this policy, all institutional aid/scholarships for that term will be adjusted on a pro rata basis based upon the applicable refund.

Official notice of withdrawal must be made by a student under this policy in person or by written notification to Student Academic & Financial Services.  The date of an official notice of withdrawal is the date that it is received by Student Academic & Financial Services.

Refunds are paid to students within 30 days of the official notice of withdrawal.

3. In the event that the university Withdrawal Credit Policy is more favorable than this Refund Policy for Georgia Residents, the university will refund to the student the greater amount in accordance with the university Withdrawal Credit Policy.
