REGULATIONS GOVERNING REFUNDS
Dropped Courses
Any student who drops courses within the first twelve (12) days of a fall or spring semester or within the first four (4) days of a
summer term and remains enrolled in the University will receive refunds applicable to tuition paid for those courses.
Withdrawals
Refunds for courses enrolled in during a fall or spring semester by a student who officially withdraws from the University are
calculated according to the following percentage schedule:
Prior to the first day
|
100% |
During the first week of class
|
80% |
During the second week of class
|
70% |
During the third week of class
|
50% |
During the fourth week of class
|
25% |
After the fourth week of class
|
0% |
Refunds for courses enrolled in during a summer term by a student who officially withdraws from the University are calculated
according to the following percentage schedule:
Prior to the first day
|
100% |
During the first, second, or third class day
|
80% |
During the fourth, fifth, or sixth class day
|
50% |
Seventh day of class and thereafter
|
0% |
Refunds are granted for those fees designated as “refundable”. The refundable fees assessed at registration are tuition and
designated tuition. These fees are calculated based upon the number of semester credit hours for which a student registers. Refunds
of refundable fees are calculated based upon the total amount of these fees assessed at registration and not on the basis of the
amount of the total paid, if a student is paying on an installment basis.
Students who are not indebted to the University should expect to receive checks by mail after the fourth week of class during a
regular semester and after the third week of class during a summer term. Students who pay fees through financial aid/assistance
(including Guaranteed Student Loans) will receive refunds only if the Office of Student Financial Assistance determines that
refunds are due.
Students who register for courses that are either paid for directly or through the use of financial aid/assistance are considered
enrolled at the University until they officially withdraw through the Office of the University Registrar. Ceasing to attend classes or
stopping payment of checks for fees owed without officially withdrawing from the University will result in semester grades of“F”. Thus, any remaining balance owed to the University by a student who ceases to attend classes, but who does not officially
withdraw through the Office of the University Registrar, is still due and NOT subject to reduction.
Refunds for parking fees paid at the time of registration must be applied for separately through the Department of Public Safety
at the University.
Refund of Room and Board Fees
Dormitory residents are required to sign a Housing-Food Service Contract for the entire academic year. The University’s policy
concerning refunds associated with room and board fees is stated in the contract. Where refunds are applicable, application for
such refunds must be made within one year after official withdrawal.
Refund of Graduation Fees
Graduation fees cannot be transferred to another graduation period. Applications for refunds must be in accordance with the
policy listed below.
The amount paid for the May diploma fee may be refunded if applied for in writing at the Bursar’s Office prior to March 1. There
will be no refunds after this date.
Summer graduates have no refund grace period since orders are placed immediately upon receipt of their applications for
graduation.
Financial Obligations
No person who is indebted to the University in any amount will be permitted to graduate, receive transcripts (or grades), re-enroll
at the University, or receive any refunds.
