The Lyon College School of Dental Medicine (LCSDM) refunds are based on the tuition and fees determined by the Board of Trustees. If a student is receiving financial aid, refunds will be returned to the financial aid accounts, including lenders of student loans, before any money is returned to the student. Credit balances, with the possible exception of Title IV funds, will be applied to outstanding charges before a refund is issued.
Students who withdraw or are dismissed from the LCSDM may be entitled to a refund of tuition and fees. Refund percentages are based on total fees owed for the term enrolled, not the amount paid.
If a student withdraws (complete withdrawal from all classes) or is dismissed before the first day of classes for the period of enrollment for which the student was charged, the university will refund 100% of the student’s tuition and fees. Refunds are based solely on the official start date of the academic calendar and not the first day that a particular course meets. Failure to attend class does not automatically withdraw or drop a student for the term. The effective date of the withdrawal is the date the appropriate office is notified.
