Understanding Your Opt-Out Programs
Adelphi offers programs designed to make your college experience smoother and help you succeed. Essentials like course materials, dining plans, and health insurance are automatically included in your tuition and fees.
However, if you decide any of these programs are not a good fit for you, you can opt out of any of them.
Check out this guide to learn the benefits of each program and how you can opt out.
Important Notes
- Each program is separate. Opting out of one does not affect the others.
- You must opt out each semester if you choose to do so. Opt-outs do not carry over from one semester to the next (except student health insurance).
- Refunds and updates typically appear on your bill within 72 hours, provided all necessary documentation is submitted and approved. Set your BankMobile preference now.
- Be sure to take action by the stated deadlines.
