Aquinas College recognizes that students’ academic interests and career aspirations may evolve, necessitating a change in their program of enrollment. Accordingly, a policy governing the change of program has been established to facilitate this transition in a manner that safeguards both the students’ interests and the institutional requirements.
Students may change their program of enrollment prior to the confirmation of the student loan or the first day of the commencement of the program without incurring any charges.
Should students elect to change their program on the first day of class, they must apply for the cancellation of the existing program, secure a new student loan if applicable, and execute a new student contract. No fees will be charged for this change at this point.
If the decision to change the program is made within the first module, students must follow the previous procedures for cancellation and new enrollment. Charges may be incurred depending on the specific courses taken within that module, reflecting the resources and services utilized.
If the students choose to change their program after completing between 10% and 25% of the total program, the process of cancellation and new enrollment must be undertaken. In this scenario, students will be charged at least 25% of the total tuition of the previous program. This fee structure acknowledges the substantial engagement with the original program and the corresponding allocation of institutional resources.
