AAP Refund Request Petition

In the case of rare or exceptional cases, a refund request may be granted based on documented requests in which extenuating circumstances significantly impaired the student’s ability to complete the term, and a full or partial tuition refund may be provided.

Such circumstances include, but are not limited to, debilitating illness, family hardships, or other significant life changes (e.g., death in student’s immediate family, care for seriously ill family member, military deployment, etc.).

Refund policy appeals must be submitted and received no later than the last day of the semester of the very next semester. All supporting documentation and a thoroughly written explanation for the appeal must be included. The appeal will be reviewed by the Associate and Assistant Deans of AAP or designee. Review times may vary depending upon the complexity of the appeal. Average review times for appeals range from four to six weeks from the date received. All decisions are final.
