Use of the education services of Florida Global University (“FGU”) constitutes acceptance of the Terms and Conditions (“Terms”).
In its sole discretion, FGU reserves the right to revise the Terms at any time. Revisions to the Terms will be effective immediately upon posting.

Content Terms
FGU reserves the right to adjust at any time the curriculum of the programs offered fully online in Spanish. FGU will inform students about the changes to be made and specify alternative curriculum, if necessary.
Administrative Policies
Add/Remove period:
Students may only add or drop registered courses during the first week of classes of an eight-week academic term. This is known as the “add/drop” period and ends at midnight on the eighth day of each academic term.
Within this period, students may withdraw from any class in which they are registered.
In addition, withdrawal during the “add/drop” period will not result in a grade being issued and will not affect the student’s GPA or SAP.
Course Retreat:
If a student withdraws after the add/drop period has ended, but before the end of the sixth (6th) week of classes, a grade of “W” will be assigned in that course. This withdrawal will not affect the student’s GPA, but will be counted for SAP calculations.
A student who fails to comply with the drop procedure will be considered to have failed that course and will be assigned a grade of “F”, which will affect both the GPA and SAP computation.
Administrative Withdrawal of Courses:
FGU reserves the right to withdraw courses from those offered in a particular eight-week academic term for failure to meet the minimum established in a particular course or for unexpected circumstances.
If students withdraw from courses as a result of the administration’s adjustment, a refund will be granted in accordance with FGU’s refund policy.
Registration Withdrawal
Any student who decides to withdraw completely and officially from FGU is expected to notify the Registrar’s Office, in writing, prior to or immediately following the date of withdrawal from classes. Failure to comply with this procedure may cause the student to receive grades unnecessarily. If applicable, tuition will be refunded in accordance with the refund policy.
Payment Terms
FGU is licensed by the Commission for Independent Education of the Florida Department of Education – United States, so all prices shown are in US dollars (USD).
Refund Policy
In the event that the student is expelled or voluntarily cancels his/her enrollment or withdraws for any reason, the student may be entitled to a prorated refund calculated on the number of hours completed up to the total hours of the program. The prorated reimbursement is made according to the table below.
