Tuition Refund Policy
Tuition Refund Policy
General Information
Academic and financial obligations for a course or service in which a student is registered are modified only by an official withdrawal from the course or service. Academic withdrawals made during the add/drop period should be submitted online using the Self Service option in the student portal. Once online registration closes for the semester, after the drop/add period, all changes in registration must be submitted in writing on the Change in Registration form available in the office of the dean or director of the college in which the student is registered. The official date of withdrawal will be the date on which written notice of withdrawal is received by the office of the dean or director.
Refund of tuition charges follows the University Refund Schedule. Refunds will be first applied to any financial aid received by the student and then to the indebtedness he/she has with the University. Refund schedules are published in the Schedule of Classes each year. Refund information is also available in the Student Accounting Office, Registrar's Office and from the Scholarship and Financial Aid Office.
University Refund Schedule
Tuition Refund Schedule Courses that are 1-49 days (1 day to 7 week classes) 100% refund on Day 1 No refund Day 2 Courses that are 50 days or more (Classes more than 7 weeks) 100% refund through Day 7 50% refund Day 8 to Day 14 No refund beginning Day 15 Specific refund dates for 100 percent refund appear in the Schedule of Classes for each individual class section. Due to the variety of beginning and ending dates for each course section, it is recommended that you refer to the Schedule of Classes when you wish to drop at 100 percent.
Co-op Students
Co-op students who must withdraw from classes or school because they receive notification of their employment after registration will be granted a total refund upon approval of the dean of their college or Center for Career and Professional Development.
Refund Variance Committee
Students who totally withdraw during the semester for unplanned reasons may petition the University's Variance Committee for consideration regarding tuition assessment. The student must complete a Petition for Tuition Variance and submit it to the Student Accounting Office.
As part of the request for consideration, a written complete explanation of the reason for withdrawal is required as well as any documentation that would support your request for this review. Examples of reasonable requests include: medical, unexpected changes in employment or other situations beyond your control.
Documentation from a third party may be necessary in order to make a determination regarding your request. Some examples may include:
- A letter from your doctor indicating the time period you were unable to attend school.
- A letter from your employer documenting the date of the unexpected employment/job schedule change occurred.
- A college official (dean/associate dean/assistant dean) within the specific college/school may have to provide specific written recommendations as part of the request if the total withdrawal was beyond the control of the student and is an academic-related withdrawal issue.
If the reason for the withdrawal is non-academic, then a college/school recommendation is not required or considered.
Students who receive financial aid/scholarships and have petition for a tuition variance approved will have their award reevaluated. All committee decisions will be communicated to the student in writing.
The petition will take approximately 30 days to process. Please note: the student must withdraw from classes prior to submitting the petition. Requests for Variance should be filed within one year of the semester withdrawal for which the appeal is being submitted. A total withdrawal fee of $500 is charged to those students who totally withdraw and are successful in their tuition variance request.

- The student has canceled in writing using the "Request for Release" form.
- The student has removed all belongings from the room.
- Appropriate checkout forms have been completed.

Meal Plan Information and Refunds
University of Â鶹ÃÛÌÒAV requires all residential students to purchase a University meal plan through their housing contract. According to University policy, freshman residents are required to have meal plans 1 or 2. All other residential students are required to choose one of the three block plans.
Students who totally withdraw from the University will be refunded for the food plan on a pro-rated assessment based on time and usage at a pre-determined amount.
Students who withdraw from housing midway through the academic year could be responsible for the full cost of a meal plan depending on the cancellation date. If a meal plan refund is granted, the student is responsible for any meal plan usage based at a pre-determined rate.
University of Â鶹ÃÛÌÒAV offers two opportunities to appeal a meal plan each academic year. Appeal submissions after the deadline date will not be accepted. Appeals must be made for each housing contract cycle. The deadline to appeal a meal plan for Fall and Winter terms is the 2nd Friday of each term. Meal plan accommodations will be considered based on individual need. Any used meals or flex dollars spent will be billed back to the student at a pre-determined rate.

Administrative Withdrawal Policy
Students who have enrolled in classes but have not made a payment or payment arrangements by the payment due date before classes begin will be notified of the University's intention to withdraw them from classes. This policy does not apply to students who have received financial aid awards. Students who have not made satisfactory arrangements by the final day of registration may be dropped from their classes for non-payment.
Students who are withdrawn lose their enrollment in the class(es) they were registered for and must follow normal add/drop policies to be re-registered into classes. This requires obtaining an instructor's signature and advisor's signature on a paper registration form for open classes that have met or are closed and an advisor's signature for open classes during the add/drop week. A late registration fee will be assessed for those re-registering after administrative withdrawal.
