Official Withdrawal and Financial Aid
When a student withdraws from the college before the official withdrawal date, they are subject to a tuition and institutional scholarships refunded based on the schedule below. The term “refund” in this instance refers to unearned charges or credits being reversed from a student account.
Refunds are calculated on the following schedule for students who have officially withdrawn from PNCA:
| Official withdrawal before the first week of classes: | 100% of tuition refunded |
| Official withdrawal during: first week of classes | 100% of tuition refunded |
| Second week of classes | 100% of tuition refunded |
| Third week of classes | 70% of tuition refunded |
| Fourth week of classes |
60% of tuition refunded |
| Fifth week of classes | 50% of tuition refunded |
| Sixth week of classes | 40% of tuition refunded |
| Seventh week of classes | 30% of tuition refunded |
| Eighth week of classes | 20% of tuition refunded |
In addition, PNCA may be required to return all or part of your federal financial aid as part of a Return to Title IV calculation. A review of your federal aid will be performed within 30 days of your withdrawal to determine any adjustments required by law. You will be notified of these changes in writing.
Unearned “F” grades (awarded if you cease attendance in one or all of your classes but do not officially withdraw) are treated as “W” grades for purposes of federal financial aid review and adjustment. For more detailed information regarding the Federal Return To Title IV (federal aid) calculation, please contact PNCA’s Financial Aid Office.
Please visit the Tuition and Fees page for your appropriate program of study for the official PNCA tuition refund policy.
Please check in with the Registration Office to initiate an official withdrawal from the college. Don't forget to contact the Financial Aid Office if you have questions about how a withdrawal from the college may affect your scholarships, grants, and loans.
