Relay tuition and fees are billed in three terms (summer, fall, and spring), with bills generally due at the beginning of the term. The only exception is for incoming students. Their first summer-term bill is not due until the fall term. Students with this extended deadline remain responsible for adhering to the refund policy and calendar below for the summer term. Students will receive billing notifications with payment instructions and exact due dates when charges are applied each term.
The refund policy is closely tied to the policies described in Changes to Enrollment. Students who are considering taking a leave of absence, withdrawing, being administratively withdrawn, or dismissed from their programs should take note of the enrollment and refund policies to determine their financial obligations upon leaving the program. Students are highly encouraged to reach out to support@relay.edu before changing their enrollment status to discuss the financial implications.
To receive a full or partial refund for a term, students must email support@relay.edu to initiate a withdrawal or leave of absence by the dates detailed in the refund calendar in this table no later than 11:59pm of that given day. Students must submit completed request forms to Relay within ten consecutive days of initiating the process. If completed forms are not received within that time frame, the date they are received will be used to determine refund eligibility.
The refundable amount includes all billed tuition, tuition from pending unearned awards. An early departure from the program makes any tuition from pending unearned awards payable immediately and will result in a significant amount of tuition becoming due now. For more information on tuition from pending unearned awards, please see Pending Awards. For more information on extenuating circumstances, please see Extenuating Circumstances for AmeriCorps Recipients.
The refund schedule for the 2022–23 academic year is detailed in this table. All Relay scholarships will be prorated at the same rate as tuition charges.
Adjustments to the summer-term refund policy are considered when incoming students are admitted to Relay during the late-enrollment window, July 16 through September 15. The late-enrollment refund policy is dependent on the date when a student’s financial aid offer is sent and is detailed in this table. Please note students who exit between the summer-term census date and September 15 and who are eligible for a 100% refund will receive “withdrawn” (W) on their academic record; they will not receive grades or credit for their summer coursework.
