Georgia State Refund Policy
The Georgia State Refund Policy applies to students who officially drop all courses in a semester from Argosy University Online Programs or Argosy University, Atlanta whether through providing notification to the University or ceasing attendance without notification. Students dropping all courses in a semester are considered withdrawn for refund purposes and are subject to the Return of Title IV Funds Policy. Georgia students are entitled to a full refund of all monies paid, including application fees, if the student requests a refund within three (3) business days of signing an enrollment agreement.
Campus-Based Programs
Fees will be refunded according to the refund percentage shown in the tables below. If a student is enrolled in course(s) across the entire semester, the evaluation period for the refund percentage will be the entire 15-week semester. If a student is only enrolled in course(s) in one 7.5-week session during the semester due to an approved reason for exception to the continuous enrollment policy, the evaluation period will be for that session of instructional time. For students registering in the second or third starts in a semester of a 5-week session program, the evaluation period for tuition refunds will be for each session of instructional time.
