Tuition Rebate

Undergraduate students are required to apply for the rebate on forms provided by the institution prior to receiving their baccalaureate degrees. Students are also required to keep the institution apprised of their address for at least 30 days after their graduation date.

You should be completing degree requirements for the current term in order to submit a Tuition Rebate Form. Students who do not meet degree requirements for the current term will need to submit a new Tuition Rebate Form at the time of graduation.

Deadline: Tuition Rebate forms are due by 5PM on the last Friday of the semester (during finals week).
