| and then reduced to 25% for a period of
time which extends 25% of the length of the term. There
is no refund after the 25% period ends.For shorter terms
within the Fall and Spring semesters, the 75% refund period
and the 25% refund per will extend a length of time which
is the same proportion of the term as the 75% and 25% periods
are of the regular terms. These shorter terms have different
beginning and ending dates and different refund dates.
4. For summer sessions, the 75% refund period and the 25%
refund period will extend a length of time which is the
same proportion of the term as the 75% and 25% periods are
of the regular terms. If you are dropping a class and adding
another class in the same session, this must be processed
on the same drop/add form for the fees to be evenly exchanged.
The summer term consists of four different sessions, each
with different beginning and ending dates. Therefore, each
session has a unique set of refund periods.
5. All refund periods will be rounded to whole days and
the date on which each refund period ends will be included
in semester schedule of classes. In calculating the 75%
period for other than the Fall or Spring and in calculating
the 25% length of the term in all cases, the number of calendar
days during the term will be considered. When the calculation
produces a fractional day, rounding will be up or down to
the nearest whole day.
6. A full refund (100%) is provided on behalf of a student
whose death occurs during the term. Any indebtedness should
be offset against the refund.
7. A 100% refund will be provided for students who enroll
under an advanced registration system but who drop or withdraw
prior to the beginning of the official first day of classes
for the term (not determined separately for each individual
class).
8. A 100% refund will be provided to students who are compelled
by the institution to withdraw when it is determined that
through institutional error they were academically ineligible
for enrollment or were not properly admitted to enroll for
the course(s) being dropped. An appropriate official must
certify in writing that this provision is applicable in
each case.
9. The refund percentage is applied to the difference between
the per hour rate (or maximum) for the number of credit
hours immediately before the drop or withdrawal and the
number immediately afterward.
10. Federal Title IV recipients will be granted refund
through 60% of the term when they withdraw from the institution.
These refunds will be based on applicable federal guidelines.
11. Other exceptions may be requested through the Office
of the Vice-President for Student Services.
12. Examples of common refunds are available upon request.
B. Out-of-State Tuition Refunds
The refund provision for out-of-state tuition is the same
as that for maintenance fees. A 75% refund is made for the
same period and a 25% refund is made for the same time period.
When 100% of maintenance fees are refunded, then 100% of
out-of-state tuition also is refunded. Calculation procedures
are the same as those specified for maintenance fees.
