Hamilton Holt School Refund Policy & Withdrawal Schedules

If a student withdraws or is otherwise separated from the College prior to the beginning of a term, a full refund for the term will be made, subject to the exclusions for non-refundable amounts (e.g. payments made to study abroad partners). After a term has started, a withdrawal requires the completion of a withdrawal form to be submitted to Student and Family Care no later than 10 business days following the last date of attendance.

Eligibility for credit to the student account is measured according to the effective date of withdrawal. The effective date of withdrawal is the last day of verified class attendance or student presence on campus if the withdrawal request is made no later than 10 business days following the last date of attendance. If the student fails to submit the withdrawal form within 10 days of the last date of attendance, the effective date of withdrawal is defined as the date on which the College receives the withdrawal form. If a student withdraws or is separated from the College, a credit will be made to their account according to the following schedules.

This Refund Policy & Withdrawal Schedule does not apply in cases involving disruption, modification, or cessation of the provision of education, educational events, student life opportunities or activities, or on-campus meals or housing, due to acts of God, natural disaster, hurricane, storm, fire, infectious disease, pandemic, strikes or labor disputes or any other reason beyond the control of the College. The College may elect to cease, postpone or modify the provision of its education, educational events, student life opportunities or activities, and on-campus meals or housing with or without a reduction in tuition or fees due from the student or obligation to refund tuition or fees in whole or part that were previously paid by or on behalf of the student, at the sole discretion of the College. A change in the method of instruction, such as a transition from in-person to remote and/or virtual instruction, will not serve as grounds for a tuition refund.
