Student Withdrawal Refund Policy

When a student withdraws, is asked to withdraw, or takes a leave of absence from the Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS), he or she must complete a Student Status Change Form PDF file available from the Office of Student Affairs. The Office of Student Affairs will sign and forward the Request to all appropriate parties. Please refer to Student Withdrawal Process to determine withdrawal date.

Upon determination of student's withdrawal date, EVMS will calculate and refund any unearned tuition and fees within 20 days. Depending upon the withdrawal date, the student may be required to repay all or part of the financial assistance he received.

Tuition and fees will be charged on a percentage basis, based on the class week during which the student withdraws. A class week is defined as the period beginning on Sunday and ending on the succeeding Saturday. A separate schedule of refund percentages exits for each class year of each program. (See Refund Schedules.) Acceptance deposits will not be refunded. 

The student should refer to the Withdrawal Process for complete withdrawal procedures.

Determining the Refund Amount

The following procedures are used to calculate the amount of tuition and fees to be refunded.

  1. The refund percentage is obtained from the appropriate refund schedule and applied to the total amount of tuition and fees charged for the enrollment period. This is the amount to be refunded to lenders of non-title IV funds and/or the student.
  2. Unless mandated otherwise, the refund of non-title IV funds is then distributed in the following order:
    1. Primary Care Loans (PCL)
    2. Loans for Disadvantaged Students (LDS)
    3. Military Scholarships
    4. Tuition Assistance Grant (TAG)
    5. Institutional Funds
    6. Alternative Loan Program (ALP)
    7. Student 
  3. If the student was the recipient of any Title IV funds, a separate calculation will be performed to determine the amount to be refunded to Title IV lenders, as prescribed by the Department of Education. (See Title IV Refunds PDF file.)
  4. The appropriate refund percentage obtained in #1 above is also applied to any Title IV funds. If this amount is less than the amount actually refunded to Title IV lenders, the student may be liable for the difference.

Leave of Absence

Students who are on an approved leave of absence are considered to have withdrawn for the purpose of Return of Title IV calculations. See Leave of Absence Policy.
