Stopping payment on checks for registration fees, or not paying at registration, does not constitute an official withdrawal or relieve the student of his or her financial obligation to UMUC Asia. Never attending, or ceasing, to attend class(es) does not constitute a withdrawal. Students who officially withdraw from a course after the schedule adjustment period receive a grade of W.

• Undergraduate students who register for classroom courses must officially withdraw no later than the day before the final class.
• Undergraduate students who register for online courses must officially withdraw no later than the Friday of the week before the course ends.
• For one-credit courses, a withdrawal must be submitted before the close of business on the first day of class.

The withdrawal refund is based on class meetings for the classroom courses and on class days for Distance Education courses. The refund percentage is the same for classroom and Distance Education courses; however, it is based on session length which differs by format. The number of class meetings held is not a relevant criterion for Distance Education courses because such courses are designed to substitute independent work for class attendance. Thus, the amount of the refund is based on the time that has elapsed since the beginning of the course.

Note that one-fourth of an eight-week classroom course is two weeks and one-fourth of a ten-week Distance Education course is nine calendar days.

The refund policy applies to tuition only. Other fees are not refundable.

Date and time of withdrawals are determined by the registration portal: MyUMUC or GoArmyEd portal. All refunds will be calculated from the date the withdrawal is posted in the portal.

Financial aid awards may be canceled or reduced for financial aid recipients who withdraw from classes. Financial aid recipients should review the return of funds policy in the Financial Aid section when withdrawing from a course.

Each campus has its own withdrawal policy. Students who take one or more courses at another UMUC campus are responsible to determine the appropriate withdrawal deadlines and refunds.
