Refund Policy for Students
An institutional refund policy has been established for those students who drop a course or complete withdrawal from school. Adjustments are for tuition only; non-refundable deposits and fees are not adjusted or refunded. The Heritage Valley Health System School of Radiography courses will be adjusted based on the calculation provided below.
A student who withdraws from the program will have any paid hospital tuition refunded as follows:

- A 50 percent refund will be given for withdrawal up to the third week of classes during fall and spring semesters and the second week of summer sessions.
