Refund Information
Tuition and Fee Refund Policy
Students
who formally withdraw from the University within the time
period described below will be entitled to a refund. Refunds
are not granted for individual course withdrawal.
The refund
percentage shall be computed on a pro rata basis determined
by dividing the number of calendar days remaining in the semester
(from the student's official withdrawal date through the last
day of scheduled exams) by the total calendar days in the
semester. The total calendar days in a semester includes weekends
and exam periods but excludes scheduled breaks of five or
more calendar days. Students who withdraw from the institution
when the calculated percentage of remaining days is 40% or
less are not entitled to a refund of any portion of institutional
charges.
The following
are not entitled to any refund of fees paid: students suspended
for disciplinary reasons, students who leave the University
when disciplinary action is pending, or students who do not
formally withdraw.
No refunds
for reduction in hours after the drop/add period are allowed
unless such reduction is the fault of the University.
Housing and Meal Plan Refund Policies
Refunds
for Housing and Meal Plan charges will be determined by the
individual offices and transmitted to the Student Account
System for determination of disposition. See Financial Aid
and the Refund Policy below.
Financial Aid and the Refund Policy
In the
event a student receives financial aid, completes registration,
and subsequently reduces his/her enrollment status or withdraws,
the amount of funds to be returned to federal, state, private
or University programs will be in accordance with regulations
concerning refunds and repayments to those appropriate programs.
A calculation will be made on all financial aid recipients
to determine whether a student who completely withdraws during
a term has earned the monies disbursed. A student earns his/her
aid based on the period of time they remain enrolled. During
the first 60% of the term, a student earns financial aid funds
in direct proportion to the length of time the student remains
enrolled. Beyond the 60% point all aid is considered earned.
The responsibility to repay unearned aid is shared by the
university and the student in proportion to the aid each is
assumed to possess. For more details concerning refunds for
students with financial aid, please contact the Student Accounts
department in 110 Business Services for further information.
All refunds, up to the amount of the aid received for the
term, will be returned to financial aid sources, according
to the following priority:

Student
Disbursement of Refunds
Any refund due to the student will be direct deposited
into the student's bank account if the student has enrolled
for this service. If not, it will be mailed to the "Financial
Mail" address specified by the student in the OASIS registration
system. Consult How
do I change my "Financial Mail" address in OASIS?
For directions on how to check or change your check mailing
address. These refunds will be mailed within 30 days after
the beginning of each term. If a student paid using a credit
card, generally the refund will be processed back to the credit
card used to pay the original charges.
