Tuition and Fee Refund Policy – Effective Fall 2004
Tuition refunds or reductions in outstanding fee liabilities for students who officially withdraw through the Registrar’s Office or TopNet, or who change their status from full-time to part-time or further reduce their part-time status through drop/add, will be made according to the schedules below. The refund percentage is applied to the number of credit hours dropped, not the dollar amount of the tuition and fees assessed.
To calculate a refund: Multiply the refund percentage by the number of hours dropped. This number is subtracted from the student's current liable hours.
Example A: Student is enrolled in 14 hours and withdraws from 3 hours during the 50% refund period. Student is liable for 12.5 hours and would not be eligible for a refund.
14 – (3 x .5) = 12.5 liable hours
Example B: Student is enrolled in 14 hours and withdraws from the University during the 50% refund period. Student is liable for 7 hours and would receive a refund for 5 credit hours, assuming tuition has been paid.
14 – (14 x .5) = 7 liable hours
