Refund Policy
Caluni Tuition and Fee Refund Policy
California University of Science and Technology (Caluni)
This policy outlines the procedures and schedule for the refund of tuition and mandatory fees in the event a student officially withdraws from the University or drops a course during the academic semester.
I. General Refund Principles
1. Official Withdrawal Date: The refund percentage is calculated based on the date the formal Withdrawal Form is received and processed by the Registrar’s Office, not the last date the student attended class.
2. Semester Duration: This schedule applies based on the academic weeks of the standard academic term (typically 15 weeks).
3. Non-Refundable Fees: This policy does not cover fees explicitly designated as non-refundable (as detailed in Section III).
II. Tuition and Mandatory Fees Refund Schedule
The following schedule applies to tuition, lab fees (where applicable), and general mandatory fees:

Note: For course drops (dropping an individual course while remaining enrolled in the University), refunds are processed based on the Add/Drop deadline for that specific term. The schedule above primarily governs complete withdrawal from the University for the term.
III. Non-Refundable Fees
The following fees are non-refundable once paid, even if the student withdraws before classes begin:
1. Application Fee: Covers the administrative costs of processing the application.
2. Admission/Enrollment Deposit: Used to secure the student's place in the class.
3. Non-Term Based Service Fees: Including fees for ID cards or health insurance premiums (if the insurance provider's policy does not permit cancellation/refund).
IV. Withdrawal and Refund Procedures
1. Formal Withdrawal Request: The student must complete and submit the Official Withdrawal Form available through the Registrar's Office or the University's online portal.
2. Account Review: The Financial Affairs Department will review the official withdrawal date and apply the refund schedule to determine the eligible refund amount.
3. Processing Time: Refunds are typically processed within 4–6 weeks from the date the withdrawal is officially approved.
4. Refund Method: The refunded amount will be credited back to the original source of payment.
This policy is subject to change by Calunı at any time and in compliance with applicable federal and local regulations.
