Approval, Withdrawal and Refund Policy

Students Called to Active Duty or Deployment

When students are called up for active service or deployment during the term and cannot continue attending class(es), they will be offered the opportunity to withdraw from their class(es), regardless if the withdrawal date has passed. Tuition paid using Tuition Assistance (TA) will be refunded/billed as per the printed refund schedule. Tuition paid by the student will be refunded at 100%. Such students will be required to submit a copy of their orders or a letter from their Commander or the Base Educational Officer informing the school of the call to active service or deployment that will prevent them from attending class.

Tuition Appeals Committee

If a student feels he or she has an extenuating circumstance which justifies an exception to the refund policy, he or she may appeal to the Tuition Appeals Committee. Appeals can be submitted to to bursar@ju.edu.

Campus Residence Charges

When a student officially withdraws from the University, credit for residential and board plan charges will be made based on the following percentage schedules. No refund will be made in cases of suspension or dismissal.

  • Fall and Spring Semesters
    • First week of classes - 80%
    • Second week of classes - 60%
    • Third week of classes - 40%
    • Fourth week of classes - 20%
    • After fourth week of classes - None
  • Summer Terms
    • First week of classes - 80%
    • After first week of classes - None

Flight Fees

JU's contractual agreement with L3 Airline Academy does not contain a 100 percent refund policy on flight fees. The L3 Airline Academy agreement requires the University to pay in advance all flight fees. Therefore, students registering for courses involving flight training must pay all flight fees at the time of registration. If a student drops the flight course during the drop/add period, the student is still liable for the flight fees that are not refunded by L3 Airline Academy. Flight course fees are subject to change without notice due to changing FAA requirements and price changes by L3 Airline Academy.
