Refund Schedule for Cohort-Based Programs

100% refund if withdrawn before or during the first week of class start within the program.

Refund Schedule for Flexxive℠ Programs

You may find it necessary to withdraw/drop from the University before the end of a term or class. Withdrawals could impact your student account, financial aid, tuition assistance, and veteran benefit status. The date that you start the withdrawal process and drop class(es) is the official withdrawal date for the class(es), and will be used to calculate the percentage of time you were enrolled in the term and the percentage of tuition you are charged. The calculation used for this policy will use the total number of calendar days you attended divided by the total number of calendar days of the enrollment period (minus authorized breaks of five days or more). If you drop after the 60 percent point in the enrollment period, the percentage of tuition charged is 100 percent. There is no tuition refund.

Example: Student A has total institutional charges of $2000, all of which are tuition and fees charges. The student enrolled in the Flexxive program, but withdraws from all classes after attending for 20 days. The Flexxive session is 182 calendar days in length. The student will be charged for (has earned) 11 percent of the tuition (20 days/182 days = 11 percent). The unearned percentage of tuition is 89 percent and will be credited off of the student's account.

Refund Policy

Refunds are based upon the official start of the session/program (usually a Monday) and not the first day of class. If you are eligible to receive a refund based on excess financial aid (for living expenses), corporate or military tuition assistance, or withdrawal from class, you will be issued a refund. If you receive your financial aid disbursement prior to tuition assistance, all tuition, fees, and books will be deducted out of the financial aid refund first. If Bellevue University refunds more money than you are eligible to receive, you are responsible for payment back to Bellevue University.

Credit Balance Policy

If you have a credit balance on your account you will automatically be refunded on a daily basis. If you wish to leave the credit balance on your account, you may do so by completing and turning in a Student Authorization Statement Form to Student Accounts via fax at 402-557-5410 or email to stuacct@bellevue.edu. This Authorization Statement is good for the academic year it is signed; any credit balance will be refunded at the end of the authorized academic year unless a new Student Authorization Statement Form is submitted.

Wire Transfer

Students that require a refund through a wire transfer will need to fill out an Outgoing Wire Transfer Form
