If the reservation is received after the above deadlines, the licensee has 30 days to cancel.

If the request to cancel is within the required 30-day timeframe, the initial payment will be refunded less the non-refundable $30 application fee. Upon receipt of the cancellation request, the University will return the funds in the form of a check made out to the applicant in approximately 3-4 weeks. If the student owes any fees to the University, the Bursar will deduct those fees prior to sending any remaining refund.

PLEASE NOTE: Failure to cancel within these set timeframes will result in the assessment of a $370 Notice Charge. No refund will be issued.
