Tuition Refunds/Adjustment Schedule
(Fall & Spring Semesters ONLY- summer sessions have separate refund schedules)

Students who drop courses* or withdraw from the University are entitled to a refund of tuition only.

Fees are refundable only within the first week of classes and are nonrefundable

thereafter. The following refund schedule applies to courses that are a full semester's

duration.

First Week---------------100% Tuition and Fees
Second Week-------------70% Tuition ONLY
Third Week---------------50% Tuition ONLY
Fourth Week -------------30% Tuition ONLY
Fifth Week and after------ 0%

Courses scheduled for less than a semester's duration have a separate refund

schedule. Consult the Student Accounts Office for information concerning such

refunds.

* The date used to determine the tuition cost for a dropped course is the date

the student or department drops the course in the on-line system. Nonattendance in a

course will not result in removal of the tuition charges from the bill. The academic

drop deadline is not related to the deadlines for determining tuition liability.
