Refund processing takes approximately four weeks. If fees were paid by credit card, any refund will be credited back to the same card.
Parsons SPACE reserves the right to cancel courses. Most often a course is cancelled due to insufficient enrollment or competition for space. Students enrolled in a cancelled course will receive a full refund of tuition and fees unless they choose to transfer to another course.
Fall and Spring Terms Withdrawal Policy
Students who decide to drop a course must formally withdraw by written notice to the registrar in order to obtain a refund of tuition or remove any charges still due. Withdrawals and requests for refunds may not be made by telephone. Mail the notice to
