Financial Hardship

The Colorado School of Mines (Mines) recognizes a student may need to withdraw from Mines, or reduce the number of class credits being taken, after the semester begins. In this situation, Mines’ refund policy for withdrawals will be based on the ‘Tuition Refund Schedule’ provided above.

Mines also recognizes the need for a student to have a process to appeal the Mines’ refund policy when unexpected and serious extenuating circumstances exist related to a student’s need to withdraw from Mines or reduce the number of credit hours. A student may also process to appeal the Mines’ refund policy when unexpected, anomalous circumstances transpire that present financial hardship or burden for a student.
