Refunds
Tuition is refunded to students who overpay, who are closed out of courses, or who make course changes or withdrawals that result in credit balances.
Registration fees are nonrefundable. Credit card payments are refunded to the credit card that was used. All other refunds are by check, made out to the student and mailed to the address on record. Students should notify the Extension School of any address changes either in writing or by using online services to ensure correct delivery of their refund checks. Please allow approximately four weeks after the late registration deadline for refunds to be processed.
Tuition is refunded for course changes only if they are submitted online or in writing by the deadlines. The amount of tuition refunded for a course depends on the date the course change request is submitted online, postmarked, or delivered to 51 Brattle Street in accordance with the Extension School withdrawal and refund schedule. It is the student's responsibility to keep documents as proof of submission of registration and course changes by the appropriate deadlines. No refunds are issued for fall courses dropped after October 11 or for spring courses dropped after February 21.
Students may request an earlier refund by e-mailing Student Financial Services (sfs@dcemail.harvard.edu). Students who have paid by personal check must either wait 30 days from the deposit date of the check or provide front and back copies of their canceled check (obtainable from their bank) to Student Financial Services before an expedited refund will be processed.
