Term withdrawal is the removal of all courses from a student's class schedule in a term. The percentage of tuition refunded for term withdrawals depends on your school or program and how long you were enrolled in the term.
Please see the schedules in the tabs below for details by the school and the program.
Students enrolled in shorter session classes (5 weeks, 7 weeks, etc.) within a longer term will be refunded for withdrawal on the term schedule. There is no separate withdrawal refund schedule for session withdrawals.

Schedule F
Kellogg School of Management Executive MBA program
The Executive MBA Program Director must be notified in person and in writing of a student's withdrawal. The reason for withdrawal must be approved by the assistant dean, director, or associate director. Simply ceasing to attend class does not constitute official withdrawal.
All tuition adjustments are computed as of the date on which the official withdrawal notice is received. Adjustments are not made on the basis of attendance in class. In all cases of withdrawal from the Kellogg School after the beginning of a course, adjustments on tuition are made in accordance with the following schedule:
Students whose withdrawal notices are filed before classes begin each quarter will be refunded their full tuition for the quarter minus the nonrefundable tuition deposit (first academic quarter only).
Students who withdraw after classes have begun but before the end of the second week of classes will be refunded 50% of tuition.
Students who withdraw after the second week of classes are not entitled to a refund.
Deposits for confirmation of enrollment are nonrefundable.
