Withdrawal/Tuition Refund Policy

Students may only receive a refund of tuition and fees if courses are dropped before the refund deadline (to find the specific refund deadline for any course, please locate the course on the Schedule of Classes and click on the calendar icon). It is a student’s responsibility to officially withdraw from any class that the student is not attending. Informing the academic department or the course instructor does not constitute withdrawal from the course. All withdrawals must be processed by Web Registration or through the Registrar One Stop Center. Registration requests can be sent via ask.usc.edu and selecting the “email us” option.

Students will be held financially liable for all classes that appear on the OASIS Registered Course List, Web Registration Course list or the Enrollment & Fee Summary after the refund deadline.There is no refund for classes withdrawn after the refund deadline*. Refunds for additional charges, including but not limited to housing and meal plans, will be determined by the office assessing the charge.

In the event of a revocation of registration, 100 percent of any tuition paid for that semester will be first applied to any outstanding debt. Any remaining credit will be available for refund within six to eight weeks from the date of revocation. Students must request a refund from the Cashier’s Office.

*Students who are dismissed from the MD program after the posted refund deadline will not receive a refund of tuition and fees.
