Certain fees may be refunded on a pro-rated basis, if applicable.

Tuition credit will be calculated from the time the notice is received in the Registrar’s Office. Refunds shall be processed within sixty (60) business days of receipt of the withdrawal request or termination date.
Non-attendance of class does not constitute an official withdrawal. The Institute will review attendance and student tuition accounts at week four of the semester to determine refunds and institution-initiated student terminations.
Students who are expelled for non-academic reasons may not receive refund of tuition, fees, and room charges. In accordance with the NMI refund policy, there will be no refund of room charges after the start of classes.
