If the leave requested is shorter than a third of an academic term, then no tuition will be refunded. If the leave period is longer, and up to one quarter, then the student will be asked to take a full quarter off and his or her tuition payment will be postponed to the next quarter.

2.  Students who have been approved to withdraw from the university may apply for a tuition refund. Below is the tuition refund schedule of the university.

(Note: The first day of registration is on the Monday of the first week of the semester. The amount/percentage of the tuition that is refundable to the students is determined by the day when they officially withdraw from the university.)

Registration Fees for Students on Leave

Students who are allowed to take time off from their studies/ university due to personal reason must pay a registration fee amounting to 10% of their tuition for every semester missed to maintain their student account and status.

The university will cancel the student account of those who failed to pay the registration fee on time.
