Proof Required?
Drexel University has agreed to pay $2.2 million to settle a class action lawsuit over tuition and fees charged during the COVID-19 pandemic. The lawsuit alleged that students should receive partial refunds after the university switched to remote learning in Spring 2020, reducing the value of their educational experience. If you were a Drexel student who paid tuition or fees for the Spring 2020 term, you may be eligible for an automatic payment from this settlement. The best part? No claim form is required - eligible students should receive payments automatically.
