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 hours and credit hours over 18. For withdrawals after the sixteenth calendar day, 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 period 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 official 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.

*The University defines official withdrawals or drops as those processed by one of the following methods:

• Online using the WINGS Express link 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 official 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:
