Summer 2008 Fee Payment Deadlines and Fee Refund Schedule

Fee Payment Guidelines

In order to retain their registration, students enrolled in the Deferred Payment Plan (DPP) must pay a $60 required minimum payment. Students who have had the privilege of participating in the DPP revoked by the Financial Services Office must pay full fees according to the fee payment deadlines based on date of initial registration. Students may appeal to the Financial Services Office to be reinstated to the DPP. The $60 required minimum payment will not be refunded, once paid, if the student withdraws from the University. It is the student’s responsibility to complete payment as stated on the student’s registration invoice whether or not additional statements are received. Payments must be received by the Bursar’s Office, not postmarked by the due date specified. In addition, students who withdraw from the University may continue to owe fees if the withdrawal is not requested in writing on or before the 100 percent refund deadline for the course(s) enrolled. Refer to the “Withdrawals” section for further information. Financial aid, employee waivers, graduate assistant fee waivers and/or credit balances are not always automatically applied towards outstanding fees. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that aid or waivers are applied properly or to request a credit balance from a previous semester be applied to the appropriate fees prior to the applicable deadline(s).
 
Students who do not complete payment of Summer 2008 Required Student Fees and Housing Fees by the deadline of July 15, 2008 will:
  1. Be removed from the Deferred Payment Plan
  2. Be encumbered until paid
  3. Have their Fall 2008 registration, if any, cancelled (thereby making those classes available to other students)

Refund Policy for Drops and Withdrawals 

Students who withdraw from the University or drop a course may receive a partial refund of the required student fees (or a change in their fee assessment if all fees have not been paid) provided they complete the formal drop or withdrawal process by the established deadlines appropriate to the length or delivery method of the class. Students are responsible for the amount of unpaid fees after the refund or re-assessment.  
 
If a student receives a scholarship, grant, or loan from the University the refund may be used to repay the scholarship, grant, or loan. A refund is made to the student only if the refund exceeds the amount of the award from the University. For students who are recipients of Federal Title IV student aid, refunds will be made in accordance with all applicable federal regulations. Examples of refund calculations for Title IV aid recipients are available in the Office of Student Financial Aid.
 
Once paid, $60 of each student’s required student fees is designated as a non-refundable required minimum payment. The fee is retained by the University if the student withdraws from all courses, but not for students who drop only some of their courses.  
Refer to the “Change of Schedule” and “Withdrawal” sections for information regarding the drop and withdrawal policies and procedures. For withdrawals, the University will retain 100% less the percent of refund or $60, whichever is greater. 

Exceptions to the Fee Refund Policy

Exceptions to the drop and withdrawal fee refund policy are generally granted when a documented University error has occurred or when the deadline is missed by a few days due to documented extenuating circumstances which were beyond the control of the student. Appeals to the refund policy must be made in writing to the Office of the Registrar, Carrington 320, within one month of the drop or withdrawal and must be accompanied by documentation of the circumstances.
