Notes
- The term Traditional Undergraduate students at Midway University refers to students enrolled in our 16-week semester-based classes.
- Full-time status is achieved for Traditional Undergraduate students when enrolled in at least 12 credit hours per semester. Traditional Undergraduate students taking less than 12 hours should use the per credit hour rate to calculate tuition for the semester.
- Students wishing to enroll in more than 19 credit hours must receive prior approval from the appropriate School Dean and the student’s advisor. An overload fee of $500 per credit hour is charged for any credit hours above 19. Maximum allowable course load is 22 semester hours per semester. Effective beginning Fall 2018.
- All Evening and Online Undergraduate and Graduate students are charged on a per credit hour basis.
- Traditional Undergraduate students pay per credit hour rates for summer term courses.
Some courses may require additional fees.
Additional costs/fees may apply to courses that require travel abroad.
* Per credit hour rate assumes 4 years full-time enrollment to earn 120 credit hours.
**Learning Management System (LMS) fee waived for Master of Education (MED) students.
Total Cost of Attendance
The Budgets listed below known as your Cost of Attendance (COA) is the estimated total amount it will cost a student to go to college each year. The COA is a college's total estimated expenses for one year including direct charges such as tuition and fees, housing and food, and indirect charges such as books, supplies, transportation, loan fees, and miscellaneous expenses. A school's cost of attendance is used to determine each student's eligibility for financial aid, such as grants and loans. Very few students pay the full cost of attendance because most receive some type of financial aid. These do not reflect actual billed costs.

Payment Policy
Students are responsible for making satisfactory payment arrangements with the Business Office by the first day of each term or module. Payment arrangements may include a combination of financial aid and personal payment plan options. Cash, check, American Express, Discover, MasterCard, and Visa are accepted.
Students who become delinquent on payments may be withdrawn from all courses during the academic period. In addition, students who owe a debt to the University may not be allowed to register for additional courses, receive grades, transcripts, or diplomas. In addition, services such as check cashing, dining services, and campus residency may be denied until arrangements have been made with the Business Office to pay the debt. Debts that become past due will be assessed a $100 fee. Debts that become 30 days past due are in default and remitted to a collection agency. In the event of default in any amount due, and if the account is placed in the hands of an agency or attorney for collection or legal action, the student will be liable to pay an additional charge equal to the cost of collection including agency, attorney fees and court costs.
Credit Balances
Credit balances that result from financial aid funds are processed after the student’s attendance is confirmed, the financial aid funds are received, and all institutional charges are satisfied. The Business Office will issue electronic payments through BankMobile Disbursements, a technology solution, powered by BMTX, Inc. or a paper check if a parent loan refund. If the student receives a credit balance check and subsequently ceases class attendance, they will be subject to the Financial Aid Return of Funds Policy and may be required to return and/or repay any unearned portions of financial aid that they received toward their educational expenses.
Tuition, Room, and Board Refund and Withdrawal Policy
Students are considered financially responsible for all institutional charges upon enrollment. In all instances in which it is necessary to withdraw from the University regardless of the reason it is the responsibility of the students to officially withdraw by completing the Student Withdrawal Request Form. The date on which notice is received shall be the official date of withdrawal for purposes of tuition refund, computation and recording of grades, and the date of record for purposes of financial aid refunds.
Failure to attend class does not constitute official withdrawal and does not remove financial or academic responsibility nor qualify students for refunds. Students must follow the official withdrawal procedure to be eligible for a tuition refund. The appropriate withdrawal date will be determined after completing the withdrawal procedure.
Tuition, Room, and Board charges will be refunded on a weekly pro-rated basis according to the following schedule. Course fees, technology fees, and activity fees are not refundable. Calendar days include weekdays and weekends for the purpose of calculating refunds.
Midway University reserves the right to make changes to the content of courses, its course offerings, scheduling, and modality of instruction. The tuition and fees set forth in your statement apply regardless of the mode of instruction, whether in-person or otherwise. Tuition and fees will not be refunded in the event that the modality of instruction changes for any reason, including, but not limited to, the Covid-19 pandemic, natural disasters, governmental shut down, or other public health emergencies. It is understood that tuition and fees are in exchange for learning, academic credit, and certain non-academic services regardless of the modality of instruction.
Medical, Military Service, or Compassionate Withdrawal
At times in the life of a student circumstances may arise that require a student to withdraw from their studies. These circumstances could include physical or mental health issues, learning disabilities, family/personal crisis or a call to active Military Duty. In such situations a student may need to petition for special withdraw consideration through a Medical, Military or Compassionate withdraw. These special withdraw considerations do not relieve the student of financial responsibility, but may assist in receiving a W for course grades rather than an F.
Medical Withdrawal
A student may be considered for a medical withdraw when extraordinary circumstances related to serious illness or injury prevent the student from continuing course work. These circumstances include both physical and mental health difficulties.
To be considered for a medical withdraw, the student must provide appropriate documentation to the Vice President of Student Affairs or their designee. Appropriate documentation for a medical withdrawal consists of a letter from your attending health care provider that specifies the following:
- the date of onset of illness
- the dates you were under professional care
- the general nature of your medical condition and why/how it prevented you from completing your course work
- the date of your anticipated return to school, if applicable
- the last date you were able to attend class
Physician documentation must be on letterhead, typed, dated, and bear the signature of the evaluator. Documentation must include the name, title, contact information and professional credentials of the evaluator. This documentation must be submitted directly to the Student Affairs office via mail, secure email, through a signed, sealed envelope hand delivered, or faxed from the provider’s office.
Military Service Withdrawal
Sometimes military students need to withdraw as they are deployed or reassigned. Midway University works with our military students on this process. In many cases students don’t even have to withdraw as they are taking courses on our online platform and can continue from anywhere. Our programs are also designed so students can stop for one 8-week module and start in the next module.
If called to active duty, a student (or student who is a spouse/dependent child of a member of the military called to active duty, and who needs to withdraw due to the call-up), should contact the Student Affairs Office. Appropriate documentation must be submitted to Student Affairs and a withdraw interview must be completed. The documentation includes military service orders with formal correspondence on unit letterhead signed by the commander requesting military withdraw due to the orders. If the student is called to active-duty military service before the midpoint of a term, the student may request a withdraw from some or all courses and the University will fully refund their tuition and mandatory fees for the withdrawn courses . If the student is called to active-duty military service during the term, the student may make arrangements with their instructors to remain enrolled in some or all of their courses and will be assigned an “I” grade (Incomplete) for each course in which they remain enrolled. In such a case, no adjustment of tuition charges for enrolled courses will occur. Students have until the end of the next academic term following their release from military service to complete the course. Failure to do so will result in the “I” grade becoming an “F” grade.
A student receiving Veteran’s Benefits should notify the VA Certifying Official in order to complete required documents. Military withdrawal students are eligible for “military re-enrollment” to the University, assuring the student access to the same major and location as was assigned at the time of withdrawal (or the most similar one, if same program does not exist). The re-enrollment fee for both undergraduate and graduate students will be waived.
Compassionate Withdrawal
Students may request and be considered for a compassionate withdraw when extraordinary personal reasons, not related to the student’s physical or mental health (for example, care of seriously ill child or spouse or death in the student’s immediate family), prevent the student from continuing courses. Students requesting a compassionate withdraw should contact the Vice President of Student Affairs and provide appropriate documentation. Appropriate documentation for a compassionate withdraw is dependent upon the nature of your circumstances and the Student Affairs office can offer advice in this area.
Compassionate, Medical, or Military Withdraw requests must be completed prior to the last day of the term requested with few exceptions.

Upon complete withdrawal from the University, students who receive federal financial aid of any kind will have their packages recalculated in accordance with the Higher Education Amendments Extension Act, Public Law 109-292. Details can be found in the Federal Student Handbook available in the Financial Aid Office.
Housing Deposits and Tuition Deposits Refunds
New students are required to pay a tuition deposit of $150. Tuition deposits are refundable through May 1 upon written request to the Business Office and Admissions. Tuition deposits are credited toward the student’s account after the 10th day of class. If the student does not attend Midway University or withdraws on or before the 10th day of class, the tuition deposit is forfeited.
A $150 housing deposit is required each academic year for both new and returning students who would like to live on campus. Housing deposits are held until the end of the academic year, at which time they will be applied to the account balance, forfeited, or refunded based on the following criteria. If the student does not attend Midway University or withdraws before the 10th day of class, the housing deposit is forfeited. If a student chooses to live off campus at any time before or during the academic year, the housing deposit will be forfeited as space has been reserved for that student. If the student is encouraged or made to live off campus by Midway University, the housing deposit will be applied to the student’s account at the end of the academic year. If a deposit is not forfeited, after the end of the spring semester, it will first be applied to the student’s account balance, and any excess funds will be refunded to the student.
Return of Financial Aid Upon Withdrawal
Financial aid recipients who withdraw or cease attendance in a semester may be subject to return of financial aid funds to the Department of Education per federal, state and institutional policies. The “Financial Aid Return of Funds Policy” in the Expenses and Financial Aid section of this catalog provides additional information on the return of funds policies.
The return of financial aid funds may result in a balance owed to Midway University, and the student is responsible for any balance that is created as a result of a return of funds. Students are strongly encouraged to meet with the Financial Aid Office and the Business Office prior to withdrawal.
For more information read the Financial Aid Return of Funds Policy.
