Financial Liability Deadlines
When a student registers at Geneseo, they assume responsibility for paying all tuition and fees associated with their enrollment. Adjustments to these charges may occur if class(es) are dropped, or a student takes a leave of absence or officially withdraws from the College within the published deadlines.
The date used to determine financial liability for individual courses will be the date the student dropped the course(s) in KnightWeb. For the fall & spring semesters, if a student drops a course but remains enrolled in 12 or more credits (full-time), there will be no adjustment to charges. If you encounter problems with KnightWeb, please contact the Registrar’s Office.
The date used to determine financial liability for a Leave of Absence or Official Withdrawal will be the effective withdrawal date recorded by the Office of Enrollment Management.
Students will not incur any financial liability for courses dropped before the start of an academic term. The College Fee is nonrefundable beginning on the first day of classes for the term. Tuition and the Comprehensive Fee will be adjusted as outlined in the schedules below. The first week is defined as the first seven calendar days in the term. For example, if the term starts on a Monday, the first week runs from Monday through the following Sunday.

Return of Federal Financial Aid Policy
Federal law mandates how a school must compute the amount of federal financial aid that a student earns if they withdraw (officially or unofficially), take a leave of absence, drop out of school, or are dismissed prior to completing more than 60% of the semester. Specifically, the amount of federal financial aid that the student earns is based on the percentage of the semester completed. All unearned federal financial aid must be returned. Careful consideration should be given to the financial ramifications of separating from the college prior to completing 60% of the semester. Additional information regarding this policy is available from the Office of Student Accounts.
