All students who officially withdraw from the college or officially drop a course/s, may receive a tuition refund according to the schedule below. Students who withdraw after the listed dates are responsible for the entire bill.  Students who have enrolled in the payment plan must arrange to pay any outstanding balance if the recalculation of tuition and fees is larger than the amount already paid.  Students must drop course/s online at https://myportal.essex.edu  by the drop deadline to avoid tuition and fee liability.
