Room and Board Contract Cancellation
The Room and Board Contract Cancellation Fee Schedule is designed to recover a portion of the University’s housing costs if a student cancels their room contract. It also encourages students to notify the University promptly of their decision not to return, which helps accommodate other students. All cancellation fees are based on the date the Cancellation Form is received by the Office of Residential Life, not the student’s final date of occupancy.
Late cancellation fee for room and board contract: $500
Admissions Deposit, not refundable
Non-refundable deposit: $350
Upon admission to the University of Redland, each Arts and Sciences student is required to submit a non-refundable deposit of $350. This deposit is applied as a credit towards the student’s first semester tuition fees.

Along with the application form, applicants must submit the required application fee and official transcripts documenting all prior academic achievements.

To ensure a timely review of your application, please submit all required documents promptly. While the University of Redland does not enforce a strict admissions deadline, applicants are encouraged to submit their applications and necessary paperwork by February 1 for fall semester admission and scholarship consideration, and by October 1 for spring semester admission consideration.

Tuition and Fees
The university reserves the right to adjust tuition and fees without prior notice, though efforts will be made to minimize increases. All payments must be made in U.S. currency. Failure to settle tuition and fees by the specified deadline will result in a hold on the student’s account, preventing future registration, as well as the release of transcripts and diplomas. Additionally, an annual late payment fee of 18%, accruing at a rate of 1.5% per month, will be applied to any outstanding balances.

OFFICIAL WITHDRAWAL
Official withdrawal for all students is confirmed upon written notification received by the Registrar’s Office.

Graduate students may officially withdraw with a “W” grade for each course until the 50% point of each semester; thereafter, an “F” grade is recorded. The Registrar’s Office determines the official withdrawal date based on the student’s notification.
Students who leave the University without completing the official withdrawal process will receive failing grades (“F”) for all courses, regardless of their academic status at the time of departure.
Students who successfully complete the official withdrawal procedure may be eligible for tuition and fee reimbursements as detailed in the “Refunds” section below. Conversely, students who fail to officially withdraw are not eligible for any refunds.
Unauthorized Withdrawal
Students who leave the University without formally withdrawing or notifying their instructors, including those who are expelled or suspended, will receive failing grades (“F”) for all courses, regardless of their academic standing at the time of departure. These grades will be permanent and recorded on the student’s transcript. Additionally, such students forfeit any eligibility for tuition and fee refunds, as specified in the “Refunds” section below.
REINSTATE AFTER WITHDRAWAL
Students wishing to return to the University after officially withdrawing must submit a new application for admission and meet current admission requirements. Additionally, a $40 reactivation fee is applicable. Upon readmission, they will be subject to current tuition and fees. Furthermore, there may be a need to complete additional coursework to make up for any missed requirements during their absence from the University.

A student’s academic transcript will be provided upon written request. The first two transcripts are free of charge, with each additional transcript costing $5. However, transcripts will not be released for any student with outstanding financial obligations to the University.

GRADE FORGIVENESS POLICY FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
Policy Statement
Undergraduate students at Stony Brook University have the option to petition for grade forgiveness for up to 16 credit hours of coursework, subject to specific criteria. This policy applies to courses completed at Stony Brook University as well as those transferred from other institutions.
Grade Forgiveness allows students to exclude grades for a maximum of 16 credit hours from their grade point average (GPA) calculation. Each student may exercise this option up to two times during their undergraduate tenure at Stony Brook.
It’s important to note that Grade Forgiveness does not remove the initial grades and corresponding courses from the student’s academic record; rather, it recalculates the GPA. The original letter grades and courses will remain on the transcript, marked with a notation indicating “Grade Forgiven.” In cases where a course is repeated, both the original grade and the subsequent grade will appear on the transcript, with an indication of “Grade Forgiven” applied to the original grade.
Grade Forgiveness cannot be applied to courses taken on a Pass/No Credit basis, nor can it be used for courses completed at other institutions and subsequently transferred to Stony Brook.
To be considered for Grade Forgiveness, students must:
- Have completed at least 12 credit hours at Stony Brook since being accepted as a degree candidate;
- Maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher;
- Obtain endorsement from an academic advisor and the department chairperson of the respective department where the course(s) were completed.
Returning Students
Students who have taken a break from the University for one or more semesters (excluding summer sessions) and wish to return must submit a Petition for Reinstatement to the Registrar’s Office. Before registering for classes, the petition requires approval from both the student’s academic advisor and the department chairperson.
Temporary Absence
Students wishing to temporarily pause their University studies for one or more semesters (excluding summer sessions) must complete a Leave of Absence form and submit it to the Registrar’s Office. The leave of absence is granted for a specified period and does not automatically renew. If a student intends to extend their absence, they must submit a new Leave of Absence form.
During a leave of absence, the student is not considered actively enrolled at the University and therefore does not have access to enrollment privileges or benefits, such as facility usage or service access. Additionally, students on leave of absence status are ineligible to register for courses, whether at Stony Brook University or any other institution.
