Refund Policy
​
After the add/drop period of 7 days from the first day of the term, during which the student may cancel their enrollment agreement or adjust the number of courses for which they are registered, the student may withdraw from the University and receive a pro rata refund if they have completed 60% or less of the term.
For purposes of determining a refund, a student shall be considered to have withdrawn from an educational program when he or she withdraws or is deemed withdrawn in accordance with the withdrawal policy stated in this institution’s catalog. Students who withdraw or are administratively withdrawn will receive a pro rata refund pursuant to section 94919(c) or 94920(d) or 94927 of the California Education Code shall be no less than the total amount owed by the student for the portion of the educational program provided subtracted from the amount paid by the student, calculated in accordance with the following table:
​
​
For example, if a graduate student who is registered for 6 units and paid $1,980 withdraws from the university during their fifth week of the term, the student would receive a refund of $1,485:​
If the school cancels or discontinues a course or education program, the school will make a full refund of all charges.
All refunds will be paid within 30 days of cancellation or withdrawal.
If an institution has collected money from a student for transmittal on the student’s behalf to a third party for a bond, library usage, or fees for a license, application, or examination and the institution has not paid the money to the third party at the time of the student’s withdrawal or cancellation, the institution shall refund the money to the student within 30 days of the student’s withdrawal or cancellation.
If the student has received federal student financial aid funds, the student is entitled to a refund of moneys not paid from federal student financial aid program funds. However, Patten does not participate in federal and state financial aid programs.
Cancellation Policy
