Missed courses, deferrals and withdrawals
The Executive MBA is a 20-month program where classes take place during alternate weekends and five residential modules. Participation requires a commitment to all weekends and modules in the series. If a student misses a course or an entire module, the program administrators will advise the student of the options available to make up the missing course(s). An administrative fee of USD $250 will be due and payable at the time of rescheduling. Additionally, the program cost in effect at the time of the makeup course will apply, which may result in the student paying additional fees due to an increase in costs.
Accepted candidates may defer their enrollment once, if needed, until the next entering cohort. Such deferments must be submitted in writing to the EMBA office no later than August 27, 2012 for the 2012 entering class. All monies paid at the time of deferment, except the application fee of $125 and any course materials used, will be refunded to the student. Upon re-enrollment, the candidate will be required to submit updated personal and professional information, an updated organizational sponsorship form, and a new application fee. All deferred candidates are subject to the program costs in place at the time of their actual enrollment.
If a student withdraws from the Executive MBA program on or before September 10, 2012, all monies paid to date, except the application fee of USD $125 and some room, board and materials charges, will be refunded.
If a student withdraws from the Executive MBA program after September 10, 2012 in the first trimester or after the first day of class in future trimesters and modules, the tuition portion of their payments (noted on their invoices) will be refunded on a pro-rated basis according to federal and institutional policies, per their academic bulletin. The remaining portion of their payment for that trimester or module is non-refundable and non-transferable, unless required by federal financial aid regulations.
If a student has pre-paid for future trimesters and must withdraw from the program, these monies are fully refundable or may be applied to future enrollment in another Thunderbird program, as long as they apply to a trimester or module that has not yet begun at the time of withdrawal.
