Exceptions to the refund schedule listed below will be considered for instances of medical or other hardship on a case-by-case basis upon request of the student and with submission of appropriate documentation as requested by Northwest Nazarene University. Administrative withdrawals for failure to meet the financial agreement will follow the refund schedule by date.

Tuition, Fees, Room, and Board: Withdrawal dates are determined by the Director of the Center for Academic Success & Advising and will be defined based upon the date that the student began the withdrawal process or officially notified NNU of intent to withdraw. Cases in which the student leaves school without first notifying an appropriate NNU official first, the withdrawal date will be the last date of documented "academic-related activity" unless it cannot be documented in which case, the mid-point of the semester will be used.
Withdraw from on-campus housing only is prorated based on the number of weeks on campus. No refund after the 9th week of the semester.
