Refund Calculation Example

Scenario 1

The refund amount for a student (who pays for the first installment of $405 and withdraws from all courses of the MBA program after the 3rd week of the term) the calculation considers both the general installment and the tuition fees for the two courses. In this scenario, the student is eligible for a 40% refund of the $324 tuition fee (representing the cost of the two courses). In addition to this, the student will receive a balance from the initial $405 payment after the applicable portion of the tuition fee has been deducted. In this situation, the following calculation will apply:

RCU RetainsAmount (USD)
Tuition fee per term (2 courses @ $162 per course)$324
Portion of the tuition refund for the current course (Withdrawal after Week 3 of the 8-week term)$129.6 (324 x 0.4 = 129.6)
Total Amount Paid for the First Term$405
Total Student Refund Amount for Two (2) Courses$210.60
Total Retained by RCU for Two (2) Courses$194.40

RCU RetainsAmount (USD)
Tuition fee per term (2 courses @ $162 per course)$324
Portion of the tuition refund for the current course (Withdrawal in Week 3 of 8-week term)$129.6 (324 x 0.4 = 129.6)
