Spring 2008 Registration Refunds

All refunds will be determined as of the date of official withdrawal. If you completely withdraw from all classes by April 4 (in person at the registration windows) or by April 6 (using WINGS Express), you will be refunded 100 percent of all instructional fees paid. Students who withdraw during the 70 percent refund period, from April 7 through April 15 must pay for 30 percent of the credit hours dropped within the billable credit hour range, regardless of how much they have actually paid at the time of withdrawal. The billable credit hour range is 1–12 and plus 18 credit hours. No refunds will be granted for withdrawals after April 15, 2008.

Back to Top

Official University Refund Policy

One hundred percent refund of instructional fees is made for official withdrawals and drops* made before the term begins and through the seventh day of the quarter. For official withdrawals or drops occurring from the eighth through the sixteenth calendar day of the quarter, students must pay for 30% of the credit hours dropped within the billable credit hour range. The billable credit hour range is 1–12 and plus 18 credit hours. After that date, no refund will be given. Summer term refunds and flexible scheduled class refunds are prorated. All refunds will be determined as of the date of official withdrawal. An exception to this policy will be granted for reservists and active duty military personnel who are deployed for the purpose of military action.
Students who have experienced extraordinary extenuating circumstances during a term and who officially drop or withdraw after the refund policy may submit a petition for a partial refund which, if approved, will be prorated according to the date of official withdrawal.* Nonattendance of classes or failure to pay for classes does not constitute offical withdrawal. Refunds will not be granted for a course after one of the following grades has been assigned: A, B, C, D, F, X, I, U, P, S, M, or N. Refund petitions must be received no later than July 15, following the end of an academic year.

Refund petition forms are available in the Registrar's Office. The deadline for submitting a refund petition and supporting documentation to the Registrar's Office is July 15, following the end of an academic year. A decision will be made and the outcome will be mailed to the student within approximately 10 working days.

• Online using WINGS Express via WINGS
• In person at the Office of the Registrar, located at E244 Student Union or at the Student Services Office in Dwyer Hall at the Lake Campus.

It is the student's responsibility to make sure the drop/withdrawal was completed correctly at the time of the request. This may be done by checking the adjusted schedule on WINGS Express after completing a transaction. Students who withdraw or drop a class at the Registrar's Office will receive a printed copy of the adjusted schedule after the transaction has been completed.

Students who withdraw after the University's offical refund period will not receive full (100%) refunds by petitioning. Refunds resulting from an approved refund petition will be based on the date of official withdrawal and prorated according to the following schedule:

Refund Appeals

A student whose refund petition has been denied may file an appeal by submitting a letter of appeal to the Refund Appeals Committee in care of the Registrar's Office, E244 Student Union. Letters of Appeal and any additional supporting documentation must be received within 10 working days of the denial of the refund petition. Refund petition decisions that are reversed and approved by the Committee will be prorated based on the date of official withdrawal. The decision of the Refund Appeals Committee will be final.

Federal student aid (Title IV) recipients who officially withdraw from all of their classes prioir to completing more than 60% of the quarter are subject to the Federal Return of Title IV Funds calculation. This calculation establishes the amount of aid the student has earned and the amount of aid that WSU is required to return to the federal student aid programs. A return of federal aid often results in the student owing money to WSU. This calcluation is also required to be performed for those federal student aid recipients who unofficially withdraw (for example, receive an X grade for nonattendance) from all their classes. Additional information regarding the federal refund policy is available online at the Financial Aid Web site.

All or a portion of any balance owed to WSU as a result of the Return of Title IV Funds calculation may be paid from a refund of institutional charges. Appeal procedures regarding charges and refunds of instructional fees and late registration fees are avavilable at the Office of the Registrar, E244 Student Union. For appeal procedures for a refund/cancellation of on-campus housing charges/contracts, students should contact the Office of Residence Services, (937) 775-4172.

Installment Plan Refund Policy

If you are paying your fees through the installment payment plan and you drop or withdraw from classes, the amount of your refund will be based on the amount you were originally billed. If you withdraw during the 70% refund period (from April 2 through April 10), you must pay for 30% of the credit hours dropped within the billable credit hour range, regardless of how much you have actually paid at the time of withdrawal. See above for an explanation of how this is calculated. The billable credit hour range is 1–12 and plus 18 credit hours.

Your refund will be based on this calculation, minus your outstanding balance. If you withdraw from classes after the 70% refund period, you must still make all remaining payments. For more information about the installment payment plan, contact the Office of the Bursar, or call (937) 775-5650.

Schedule of Quarterly Fees

Fee information is available online at www.wright.edu/admissions/fees.html

Wright State University assesses instructional and general fees based on a set of cohort fee schedules. The fee schedule used to assess student fees is dependent upon the first quarter of attendance and maintaining an active status.

Fee assessment also depends on the course campus (Main versus Lake) and student level (undergraduate or graduate), not the course level. For example, a graduate student's fees will be assessed at the graduate fee rate regardless of whether the course(s) taken are graduate or undergraduate.

For information on how fees are assessed at Wright State University, please contact the Office of the Registrar at registrar@wright.edu or (937) 775-5588. Wright State University reserves the right to make policy and fee changes. Further information regarding fees is available by contacting the Office of the Bursar at bursar@wright.edu, at (937) 775-5650, or by visiting the Bursar Web site.

Wright State will not defer payment of fees or accept partial payments or postdated checks. Financial accounts are subject to audit at any time throughout a student's enrollment or academic career.
