Financial Obligations and Tuition Refunds Policy
A student who is delinquent or in default of payment(s) and/or returned check(s) due to the university may be withdrawn from the university in the term the delinquency or default occurs and cannot be readmitted for that term. A student who has been withdrawn from the university may be readmitted the following term if all payments due to the university are paid and the student is otherwise eligible for readmission.
Our Lady of the Lake University reserves the right to deny readmission based on a student's credit history with the university.
Diplomas are not issued to students who have not met all obligations to the university.
