Refund Policy

Refund in the Event of Withdrawal from the College
The College operates on an annual budget which necessitates advance planning and financial commitments to teaching staff and others whose services are essential to its operations. For this reason, no refunds are granted to those persons who are dismissed from the College for disciplinary reasons. The official date of withdrawal used to compute refunds is the date on which the student begins the official withdrawal process in the Student Development Office.

Tuition and Room
Refund Schedule
Tuition and room refunds are calculated on the following schedule:

Prior to first calendar day of the semester 100%
During first five calendar days of the semester 90%
During the sixth through the fourteenth calendar days of the semester 75%
During the fifteenth through the thirtieth calendar days of the semester 50%
No refunds after the thirtieth calendar day of the semester or for unofficial withdrawals 0%

An exception is made for illness, in which case the 50% refund period is extended to the ninth week. Illness must be certified by a physician’s written statement.

Board Refund Schedule
In all cases, a student is charged the pro rata share of board based on the number of calendar days enrolled.

Other Fees Refund Schedule
Unless a student withdraws during the first five calendar days of the semester, all other fees are not refundable.

Institutional Scholarship
Proration Schedule
Institutional scholarships are those scholarships granted by Milligan College, calculated on the following schedule:

Prior to first calendar day of the semester 0%
During first five calendar days of the semester 10%
During the sixth through the fourteenth calendar days of the semester 25%
During the fifteenth through the thirtieth calendar days of the semester 75%
No refunds after the thirtieth calendar day of the semester or for unofficial withdrawals 100%

Refund in the Event of Withdrawal from Class
The schedule of refunds for withdrawal from a class is different from above. Since the College charges the same tuition for 12-18 hours, there is no refund for withdrawing from a class if the total hours, before and after withdrawal, is within the 12-18 range. If the new total hours are fewer than the original total, the following schedule will apply:

Prior to first calendar day of the semester 100%
During first five calendar days of the semester 90%
During the sixth through the fourteenth calendar days of the semester 75%
During the fifteenth through the thirtieth calendar days of the semester 50%
No refunds after the thirtieth calendar day of the semester or for unofficial withdrawals 0%

Return of Title IV Funds (Federal Financial Aid)
In addition to the overall institutional refund policy requirements, the College is required to follow the regulations mandated by the Department of Education pursuant to the Higher Education Amendments for any student who receives Title IV Federal Aid. The Return of Title IV Fund calculations may result from the student withdrawing, dropping out, being expelled from the institution, or failing to complete the program on or after the student’s first day of class for the period of enrollment for which the student was charged. Further explanation of the Return of the Title IV Funds is included in the Milligan College Catalog. Examples of the Return of Title IV Fund calculations are available in Student Financial Services.

Refund Policy for Applied Study
Applied fees will be refunded if the student drops the class within the first five days of classes. After this time, fees will not be refunded.
Food Service

Milligan College is offering a continuous service meal plan for students in the fall. The meal plan allows students to trade 15 meals per semester at the Student Center Snack Bar, more commonly called “The Grill”.

Students may also purchase a “Snack Bar Plus (SBP)” account. This account is available to all students. Residential students can add a SBP account to their standard meal plan on or before registration. This account allows students to grab a quick snack or meal at their convenience with the ease of using a prepaid credit line. The SBP account provides a $50 meal credit line at the grill for an additional charge of $40 to your meal plan. This 20% bonus credit is only available with meal plans purchased on or before registration. Additionally, if students want to add to their credit line, they may do so at anytime after registration either in the cafeteria or the grill with a 10% bonus credit. Snack bar plus accounts do expire at the end of the academic year (May).
