Summer 2026 Tuition Refund Schedule

Summer 2026 Term Dates

The Summer semester has four different ‘Parts of Term’ (POT) which has different start and end dates as reflected below.

Tuition Refund Schedule

Since these terms vary in length, the drop deadline and the tuition refund period will differ from each POT. In the event that a student decides to withdraw for the term, tuition assessment will be adjusted as follows.

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.
