Refund Policy
Keuka College’s refund/liability policy goes into effect for a student who withdraws, drops out, takes an approved leave of absence of any type, or fails to complete the program on or after the first day of classes of the enrollment period for which the student was charged.
The withdrawal process is initiated by the student completing the appropriate forms available from the Registrar’s Office or in the Keuka Portal under Registrar.
A withdrawal is considered effective on the last date of academic attendance. In the case of an approved leave of absence, or in the case of a student who fails to follow proper procedure in notifying the College, the withdrawal is considered effective the last recorded date of attendance/academic activity, as determined by the Registrar.
Students who withdraw from the college are entitled to a refund of tuition and fees, and room and board if applicable in accordance with the following schedule:

Title IV Financial Aid Refund Calculation
A statutory schedule is used to determine the amount of Title IV funds a student has earned as of the date he or she ceases attendance. The amount of Title IV assistance earned is based on the amount of time the student spent in academic attendance. Up through the 60 percent point in each payment period or period of enrollment, the liability amount above is used to determine the amount of Title IV funds the student has earned at the time of withdrawal. After the 60 percent point in the payment period or period of enrollment, a student has earned 100 percent of the Title IV funds.
Keuka College reserves the right to pro-rate and refund tuition, room, and meal plans as appropriate in the event of a natural disaster. Should a natural disaster force a change in instruction delivery, the College reserves the right to reallocate tuition and related costs toward educational expenses associated with addressing these instructional needs.
