Students that have been awarded the military-connected Tuition Assistance Benefit are under the assumption that they will be attending Eastern University in the program’s entirety.  If a student that is utilizing TA benefits withdraws from coursework you may not be eligible to receive the full amount of TA funds that have been awarded.

Refund Process

Any student who wishes to withdraw from all courses is required to complete an Eastern University Exit Form with the Office of the Registrar. Please note that the first day of classes is counted as the first day of scheduled classes for the entire institution without regard for the start date of individual classes.

The Refund Cancellation is based on the official withdrawal date.  This date will be used in the percentage calculation to determine the percent of unearned Tuition Assistance that is returned.  

Number of days completed / Total days of the course (start to end date) = Percent earned
