Tuition Forfeitures & Refunds

Forfeiture

Tuition forfeitures are fees that are charged when you make changes to your schedule from the 8th through the 30th calendar day of the quarter that result in you dropping from one tuition rate to another, or withdrawing completely from your classes.

Students who withdraw may be entitled to a refund of all or a portion of the tuition and fees for a given quarter depending on the time of the quarter the withdrawal is completed. Use the linked chart to see what is charged according to the date of the drop in credits, or complete withdrawal.

Forfeiture fees may be waived for specific reasons. If your circumstance falls within the stated guidelines, and you fill out a petition and provide the required documentation, you may have the forfeiture fees waived.

Withdrawal

• Students who withdraw from all classes by the 7th calendar day of the quarter pay no tuition.
• Students who withdraw from all classes between the 8th & 30th calendar day* of the quarter are required to pay half tuition.
• Students who withdraw from all classes after the 30th calendar day* of the quarter are required to pay full tuition.

Tuition Forfeiture and Refund Schedule

Withdrawals or Refunds for Aid Recipients

If you are a financial aid recipient and withdraw from all of your classes, your refund of University charges will be returned to the financial aid programs. The proportion of aid returned will be based on the number of days remaining in the quarter. No funds will be returned after 60% of the quarter has elapsed.

You must be registered for a full-time credit load (12 credits for undergraduates and professional students; 10 credits for graduate students) in order for aid, except Stafford Loans, to be disbursed. If you have been awarded aid as a less than full-time student see the Financial Aid Office for minimum credit load information.

After the start of classes, if you drop below full-time enrollment, aid already disbursed to pay charges on your account will not be canceled; however, no additional aid will be disbursed to you. If you drop below full-time before the start of classes and aid has been disbursed to you, you will owe a repayment of aid.

International Students Who Withdraw from ESL Classes

If you are an international student who is taking an Academic English Program (or an English language proficiency) course (ENGL 100 and 101), and you withdraw from the University, you may request a refund for that class.

You must make the refund request by contacting English Language Programs. This must be done at the same time as you are withdrawing from the University.
