REFUND/PRORATION
The refund/reduction/proration policy in place at VCUarts Qatar mirrors the policy at the home campus, VCU, in Richmond, Virginia, USA.
- No tuition/fee charges are levied during the Add/Drop Period.
- Refunds are computed based on the actual withdrawal date/time, per the student-initiated, completed Withdrawal Process, as recorded by the Office of Enrollment and Registration Services.
- Refunds/reductions/pro-rations are made only to students who have completed the required withdrawal procedure, whether they have attended the class or not.
- It is the student’s responsibility to request corrections to errors on the student’s schedule.
- Students who are enrolled in the maximum number of credit hours (18) and withdraw up to the minimum credit hours considered as full-time enrollment (12) do not receive a refund/reduction.
- A full refund of tuition and applicable fees for short courses (less than six weeks in length) will be granted if the course is dropped by the end of the first day of a given class. Partial refunds are not granted for short courses.
- Exceptions to this refund policy are made only in rare instances based upon extenuating circumstances. Written application for such exceptions must be filed with the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.
- Refund/Reduction Schedule
| Drop / Withdrawal Period | Reduction | Student Pays |
| Drop prior to end of Add/Drop Period | 100% | 0% |
| Withdraw second week of classes | 80% | 20% |

CONSEQUENCES OF NON-PAYMENT
Students who fail to make the required payment or clear their due balances by the due date may be assessed a Late Fee or have a “Hold” placed on their student record. Holds deny students from registration for courses in a future academic term, prevent access to midterm or final grades, prevent the issuance of degree-certificates and transcripts, etc. Once placed, holds can be released only after a student has cleared all due balances owed to the Qatar Foundation, VCU, or VCUarts Qatar.
