J-Term/Summer Term Tuition Refund Schedule

For MHSL tuition purposes, liability starts on the first day of school, but we don’t charge liability until after the add/drop period.

Financial aid eligibility begins the first day of class. Withdrawals after the first day of class will result in a return to title IV calculation and the returning of unearned loan eligibility.
