REFUNDS AND CANCELLATIONS
Students dropping a course before June 1st, 2025, will receive a 100% refund. After June 1st, 2025, there are no tuition refunds. If you have a circumstance necessitating the course withdrawal (serious illness, or death in the student’s family, for example), exceptions to the above policy may be granted.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR COLLEGIATE SUMMER STUDY
Eastman’s Financial Aid Office is located in the Student Services Suite at Miller Center, 25 Gibbs Street, Rochester, NY 14604. A Federal Direct Loan may be available to assist summer students who are matriculated in a degree program and enrolled for six or more credit hours. The loan amount obtained for summer study will be included in the student’s maximum federal loan eligibility for the 2024-2025 academic year. To apply, a student must complete:
- 2024-2025 Free Application for Federal Student Aid
- Eastman Summer 2025 Aid Application
Matriculated students registered for less than 6 credit hours may be able to secure a private summer loan through a participating bank or lender.
Students should exhaust all other options prior to applying for a private loan.
All Summer Loans are distributed to student accounts no earlier than the first week of summer classes. For students borrowing additional funds to cover living expenses, a credit balance will not be available until a refund is requested (https://www.rochester.edu/adminfinance/bursar/refund.html) from the Bursar’s Office.
