FAQ
Will I get a refund? Will this affect my financial aid?
The medical appeal committee cannot make any guarantees or approvals regarding billing or financial aid.
If the appeal is approved, the drop or withdrawal date selected by the committee could impact billing and/or financial aid.
It is your responsibility to understand before submitting the appeal how these will be affected if the committee approves the requested date. Contact Student Business Services and the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships for more information.
