Virginia Student Grievance Form: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/StudentComplaintForm

Virginia Refund Policy: Students are accepted and registered for classes with the understanding that they will attend the entire course. Faculty contracts, the commitment of space, and other University resources are made on that assumption, creating financial obligations that students who withdraw must share. National University’s refund policy reflects this position. Students may withdraw themselves from class prior to midnight on the ninth (9th) day of the session by emailing their academic advisor at advisor@nu.edu or Student Concierge Services at scs@nu.edu. To accurately count session days, note that the first day of a session – not the actual day a student attends class – counts as day one of that session. The University counts calendar days rather than business days for determining refunds. As such, if the first day of the session is a Monday, the student would need to withdraw prior to midnight of the following Tuesday, the ninth day of that session.

If a student does not complete a course, a tuition refund is made according to the following schedule, which is based upon a 28-day month.

Students who withdraw form a course prior to midnight of the:
Ninth (9th) day of the session will receive a 100% refund.
Fourteenth (14th) day of the session will receive a 50% refund.
Twenty-first (21st) day of the session will receive a 25% refund.

Students who withdraw from a course after midnight of the twenty-first (21st) day of the session will not receive a refund.

Students must have a credit balance in their account to receive a refund. Refunds, depending on the verification of funds, are processed and mailed within fifteen (15) days from the later of:

The date from when a student cancelled enrollment

Wisconsin Refund Policy: A student who withdraws or is dismissed after the cancellation period has passed, but before completing 60% of the potential units of instruction in the current enrollment period, shall be entitles to a pro rata refund, as calculated below, less any amounts owed by the student for the current enrollment period, less a one-time application fee of $ 100.

Pro rata refund shall be determined as the number of units remaining after the last unit completed by the student, divided by the total number of units in the enrollment period, rounded downward to the nearest 10 percent. Pro rate refund is the resulting percent applied to the total tuition and other required costs paid by the student for the current enrollment period.
All efforts will be made to refund prepaid amounts for books, supplies, and other charges unless the student has consumed or used those items and they can no longer be used or sold to new student, or are returned by the school to the supplier.
Refunds shall be paid within 40 days after the effective date of termination.
After the student’s first period of enrollment, if a student withdraws or is dismissed in a subsequent enrollment period, the school may also retain an administrative fee of 15% of the total cost of a resident program, or $400, whichever is less.
No refund is required for any student who withdraws or is dismissed after completing 60% of the potential units of instruction in the current enrollment period unless a student withdraws due to mitigating circumstances, which are those that directly prohibit pursuit of a program and which are beyond the student’s control.
