Financial Exceptions

A student seeking an exception of any kind on his or her financial record may complete a Petition for Financial Exception to be reviewed by the Financial Affairs Committee. This form is available from the Business Office and on the Richmont website.

In the event of a student’s injury, prolonged illness, death of a family member, or similar circumstances that interrupt or preclude the completion of a course or courses, the student may choose to withdraw from one or more classes for the semester, or, if necessary, withdraw from the University.

In either event, the student will receive a tuition refund based on the refund schedule. The student will follow the procedures for course withdrawal or institutional withdrawal, depending on the situation. In the event of the death of a student, the family will receive a full tuition refund for the semester.
