MSCT Program Information

Withdrawal and Refund Policy

Please review the following information before registering for any course or program at SDGKU. You may also refer to the policy on the university webpage for Consumer Information.

Official Withdrawals

It is the student’s responsibility to inform the admission’s office immediately of their intent to withdraw from a course by email or phone. In this case, the effective date of withdrawal will be the date the school is notified by the student.

Unofficial Withdrawals

If the student withdraws without notice to SDGKU, the date the school terminates the student enrollment due to academic failure or violation of its rules or policies stated in this catalog is the date of last attendance or the date that they last completed a substantive instructional activity.

Cancellations, Withdrawals, and Refunds

The student has the right to cancel the enrollment agreement and obtain a refund of charges paid through attendance at the first-class session, or the seventh day after enrollment, whichever is later. Students who cancel within seven days receive a refund of all charges including the registration/enrollment fee. Students who cancel more than seven days after enrollment receive a refund of all charges minus the registration/enrollment fee. This is applicable to online and hybrid courses.

The institution applies a prorated policy, based on the number of days enrolled divided by the number of days total in an enrollment period. If a student paid fees and did not access the instructional program, or attended class, all fees except for the non-refundable registration/enrollment fee will be returned to them. The refund will be mailed within 30 days from the time of the withdrawal or cancellation, according to the schedule below.

Students may withdraw after instruction has started and receive a pro-rata refund for the unused portion of the tuition and other refundable charges if the student has completed 60% or less of the period of attendance. A period of attendance is 15 weeks for Certificate (non-degree) and Master’s programs. A period of attendance is 20 weeks for Bachelor’s degree programs. A hypothetical example of a 20-week period of attendance (140 days) of $1200 has the following refund schedule:

After Attending Example
Days Scheduled Refund
7 days $1200
28 days $960.00
56 days $720.00
84 days (60%) $480.00
After 84 days No refund

If the school cancels or discontinues a course or educational program, the school will make a full refund of all charges. Refunds will be paid within 30 days of cancellation or withdrawal.

Sample Refund Calculation

The following are time-based refund calculations for hypothetical examples of a student withdrawal from certificate, bachelor’s degree, and master’s degree programs. Students that have withdrawn will receive a refund if the Period Attended is 60% or less. The students in the examples below attended less than 60% and are owed a refund. Therefore, the refund calculations proceed as follows:

Full Stack Development Immersive

  • Charges of Period of Attendance: $10,100.00
  • Number of Days in Period of Attendance: 105 (15 weeks)
  • Number of Days Attended in the Period: 36
  • Percent of Period Attended: (36 days ¸ 105 days) X 100% = 34%
  • Period Attended is 34%, which is less than 60%, therefore a refund is owed to student.
  • Amount Owed to Student: (100% – 34%) X $10,100.00 = $6,666.00

BS in Global Management

  • Charges of Period of Attendance: $5,160.00
  • Number of Days in Period of Attendance: 140 (20 weeks)
  • Number of Days Attended in the Period: 36
  • Percent of Period Attended: (36 days ¸ 140 days) X 100% = 26%
  • Period Attended is 26%, which is less than 60%, therefore a refund is owed to student.
  • Amount Owed to Student: (100% – 26%) X $5,160.00 = $3,818.40

MS in International Management or MS in Communication and Technology

  • Charges of Period of Attendance: $5,859.90
  • Number of Days in Period of Attendance: 105 (15 weeks)
  • Number of Days Attended in the Period: 36
  • Percent of Period Attended: (36 days ¸ 105 days) X 100% = 34%
  • Period Attended is 34%, which is less than 60%, therefore a refund is owed to student.
  • Amount Owed to Student: (100% – 34%) X $5,859.90 = $3,867.53

Hybrid Programs

A hybrid program is one that includes a combination of online and in-residence instruction at San Diego Global Knowledge University.

The in-residence portion of hybrid programs does not have any additional cost for students. However, non-local students are responsible for their own travel expenses and lodging.

Payment Options

All payments for tuition and fees may be made using the following options:

  • Debit or Credit (VISA, MasterCard, and American Express)

Tuition and Fees Discounts

Tuition and fees discounts are available to selected groups in order to make SDGKU programs more accessible and to increase the diversity of its students and the communities served. Students living in Mexico are provided a discount to increase affordability, given that their average annual income per capita is significantly lower than the national average in the United States. SDGKU is located in the US-Mexico border region and its community includes students living on both sides of the border. Discounts are also given to selected SDGKU employees and their immediate family.
