Graduate degree seeking students enrolled in seven (7) or
more credits per semester are required by State regulation
to carry individual health insurance coverage. Students without
such coverage will be billed a health insurance premium (currently
$752.00 per year) for mandatory enrollment. Students who already
have appropriate coverage must complete a waiver of insurance
at the time of payment (before the first day of classes) in
order to waive the mandatory insurance premium. Any student
not completing a waiver will be billed for insurance. This
charge may not be adjusted, and is non-refundable after the
add/drop period.

All matriculated students, undergraduate and graduate, who
wish to withdraw from the College must do so in writing to
the Registrar’s Office on the prescribed form. The official

received and stamped by the Registrar. All withdrawals from
courses – rather than withdrawal from the College entirely
– must be done in writing to the Registrar’s Office,
following the procedures established for that purpose.

to fill the vacancy thus created.
• A pro-rata refund of room fees will be made if intention
to withdraw is received by the Director of Housing in writing

Refund Policy for Students Who Receive Federal Financial Aid
Applicability
This refund policy applies only to all full-time and part-time
students enrolled in regularly scheduled classes at Worcester
State College who are receiving Federal Title IV financial
aid. This policy is mandated by federal regulation.
Withdrawal Requirements
All matriculated students, undergraduate and graduate, who
wish to withdraw from the College must do so in writing to
the Registrar's Office on the prescribed form. The official
date of withdrawal for this refund policy is the date that
the student begins the official withdrawal process or the
date that the student officially notifies the College of his
or her intent to withdraw.
Refund Policy
Refund of Federal Title IV Financial Aid will be based on
the date a student completely withdraws from the College as
described above. During the first 60% of the semester or summer
term a student earns Title IV funds in direct proportion to
the length of time he or she remained enrolled. A student
who remains enrolled beyond the 60% point earns all aid for
the semester or summer term. The percentage of the semester
or summer term that a student remains enrolled is derived
by dividing the number of days a student remains in attendance
by the number of days in a semester. Calendar days are used
but breaks of at least five days are excluded from both the
numerator and the denominator.
Unearned Federal Title IV aid other than Federal Work-Study
must be repaid in the following order:
- Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan
- Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan
- Federal Perkins Loan
- Federal Parent Loan
- Federal Pell Grant
- Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
- Other Title IV programs
Students must repay 100% of unearned loans according to the
terms of their Promissory Note.
Only 50% of unearned grants must be repaid within 30 days
of withdrawal from the College.
