Berkeley Grad - Great Experience
#3Consumer Comment

I obviously cannot speak for everybody, but my experience at Berkeley was nothing less than successful. As of the end of the Summer quarter of 2013, I completed all of my academic requirements which has allowed me to graduate this coming April. Even with this achievement, I did fail a class during my time at Berkeley and still had to pay for the course. I understood why I had to pay for it; just because I failed didn't mean I was subject to financial exemption. The same thing goes for when a student drops a class during an active quarter. They still took the class which means they are obligated to pay for the course.
From a student perspective, it's our advantage to make sure we understand the financial aspect of our education so confusion doesn't occur. I attended Berkeley for 3 years and due to keeping up with how financial aid etc. works, I haven't had any problems with the way Berkeley operates.

Berkeley College: TUITION REFUND POLICY*

Below is the Tution Refund Policy taken directly from the website, which can also be found here.
TUITION REFUND POLICY*
If a student officially withdraws or is dismissed from the College during a quarter, credit for that quarter will be issued as follows:
Students who cease attendance but do not officially withdraw may be liable for 100 percent of charges for the quarter. Sample tuition refund calculations are available on Blackboard. To officially withdraw, students must contact the Advisement Department.
A student’s enrollment status is determined at the end of the add/drop period (week two). At that time the student is charged, and any financial aid is paid based on the enrollment status. Individual course drops after week two do not entitle the student to a refund for that course.
Balances in excess of charges, including deposits, held at the time of withdrawal or dismissal, will be applied to outstanding charges. Any overpayment of tuition and fees will be refunded.
Residence charges are fully incurred at the start of each quarter; once the quarter has started, there will be no refunds.
Students who withdraw from the College prior to the end of the term will have their financial aid adjusted based on the date that the student officially or unofficially (based on one of three census dates) withdrew from the College. Eligibility for disbursement of federal and state funds will be recalculated in accordance with federal and state regulations. Refunds will be made in accordance with the federal refund allocation schedule.
Institutional aid will not be refunded to the student. Berkeley institutional financial aid awards are earned ratably each quarter during the tuition refund period.
Students who withdraw or are dismissed after the 60 percent point (week seven) of the quarter will retain 100 percent of their federal awards.
*Refund information for online students residing in Maryland is different and may be found here.
