Change of Fees and Refunds

When appropriate, a change of fees will be processed by the Office of the Registrar when a student submits an "Add/Drop/Registration Form" or "Withdrawal Form" which affects the fee previously assessed. Individuals are also advised to see "Change in Course Elections" in this Catalog.

Refunds of tuition, fees, or student account credit balances are generated automatically. After authentication and processing, the refund is issued to the student.

Adding

A student who increases the number of hours elected will have a new fee assessment generated by the Office of the Registrar indicating the appropriate fees to be paid.

Dropping (for Full, Half, and Four-Week Mini Courses)

A student who, during the first two weeks of a full-term or the first week of a half term or four-week mini-term reduces the number of hours elected, will have a new fee assessment generated by the Office of the Registrar indicating the appropriate fees to be paid. No reduction in fee assessments will be made after the end of the second week of classes (first week of a half-term or four-week mini term) except in cases of withdrawal from the University.
