On the basis of the federal regulations governing the return of federal student aid (Title IV) funds for withdrawn students, the following rules apply to the rebate and refund of tuition. For students in the Master of Architecture I (M.Arch. I) degree program, the rules apply to students adhering to the prescribed course of study as previously defined.

1. For purposes of determining the refund of Title IV funds, any student who withdraws from the School of Architecture for any reason during the first 60 percent of the term will be subject to a pro rata schedule that will be used to determine the amount of Title IV funds a student has earned at the time of withdrawal. A student who withdraws after the 60 percent point has earned 100 percent of the Title IV funds. In 2023–2024, the last days for refunding Title IV funds will be October 26, 2023, in the fall term for all students and, in the spring term, April 28, 2024, for M.Arch. I first-year students, and March 30, 2024, for all other students.
2. For purposes of determining the refund of institutional aid funds and for students who have not received financial aid:
   1. 100 percent of tuition will be rebated for withdrawals that occur on or before the end of the first 10 percent of the term. In the fall term, the date is September 4, 2023, for all students. In the spring term, the dates are January 27, 2024, for M.Arch. I first-year students and January 22, 2024, for all other students.
   2.  A rebate of one-half (50 percent) of tuition will be granted for withdrawals that occur after the first 10 percent but on or before the last day of the first quarter of the term. In the fall term, the date is September 19, 2023, for all students. In the spring term, the dates are February 19, 2024, for M.Arch. I first-year students and February 6, 2024, for all other students.
   3.  A rebate of one-quarter (25 percent) of tuition will be granted for withdrawals that occur after the first quarter of a term but on or before the day of midterm. In the fall term, the date is October 15, 2023, for all students. In the spring term, the dates are April 13, 2023, for M.Arch. I first-year students and March 3, 2024, for all other students.
   4. Students who withdraw for any reason after midterm will not receive a rebate of any portion of tuition.
3. The death of a student shall cancel charges for tuition as of the date of death, and the bursar will adjust the tuition on a pro rata basis.
4. If the student has received student loans or other forms of financial aid, funds will be returned in the order prescribed by federal regulations; namely, first to Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loans, if any; then to Federal Direct Graduate PLUS Loans; next to any other federal, state, private, or institutional scholarships and loans; and, finally, any remaining balance to the student.
5. Recipients of federal and/or institutional loans who withdraw are required to have an exit interview before leaving Yale. Students leaving Yale receive instructions on completing this process from Yale Student Financial Services.
