At American International Christian University (AICU), we understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise that require students to adjust their academic plans. Our Drop Date & Refunds policy is designed to provide clarity and fairness for students who need to withdraw from courses or the university during the academic term.

Drop Dates and Refund Eligibility

AICU offers a structured timeline for course withdrawals that ensures students are aware of the deadlines for dropping classes and receiving a refund. The key drop dates are as follows:

• First Week of Classes: Full refund for tuition and fees if the course is dropped within the first week of the semester.
• Second Week of Classes: A 75% refund for tuition and fees if the course is dropped within the second week.
• Third Week of Classes: A 50% refund for tuition and fees if the course is dropped within the third week.
• After the Third Week: No refund will be issued for withdrawals after the third week of the semester.

Please note that the drop dates and refund percentages apply to standard semester-based courses. For non-traditional programs, summer sessions, or special terms, the refund schedule may vary. Students are encouraged to consult the academic calendar for specific dates and deadlines for each term.

Refund Process

Refunds will be processed to the original method of payment. If tuition was paid by financial aid or other funding sources, refunds may be applied to those accounts. The university aims to process all refunds within 4-6 weeks after the drop date.

Exceptions and Special Circumstances

In certain cases, students who are withdrawing due to medical emergencies, personal hardships, or other exceptional circumstances may request an appeal for a different refund arrangement. AICU evaluates these requests on a case-by-case basis and provides support as needed. Students are encouraged to reach out to the Registrar’s Office or the Financial Aid Office for guidance on the appeals process.
