Policy on Adjustment of Charges
Keuka College’s policy on adjustment of charges goes into effect for a student who withdraws, drops out, takes an approved leave of absence of any type, or fails to complete coursework on or after the first day of classes of the enrollment period for which the student was charged.
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's Office.
Non-Attendance does not constitute an official withdrawal from the College or from individual courses. The withdrawal and leave of absence processes are initiated by the student completing the appropriate forms available from the Registrar’s Office.
Students who withdraw from the college are entitled to a proration 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 the student 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. After the 60 percent point in the payment period or period of enrollment, a student has earned 100 percent of the Title IV funds that they are eligible to receive.
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.
