Tuition and Fee Refund Policy Section 54.006 of the Education Code sets the policy for refund of tuition and mandatory fees to students who withdraw from the University. That policy for withdrawals is as follows:
If a student withdraws during a fall or spring semester or a summer term of 10 weeks or longer the refund is as follows:
| (A) prior to the first class day | 100 percent (less $15.00 matriculation fee) | | (B) during the first five class days | 80 percent | | (C) during the second five class days | 70 percent | | (D) during the third five class days | 50 percent | | (E) during the fourth five class days | 25 percent | | (F) after the fourth five class days | None |
If a student withdraws during a term or session of more than five weeks but less than 10 weeks, the refund is as follows:
| (A) prior to the first class day | 100 percent (less $15.00 matriculation fee) | | (B) during the first, second, or third class day | 80 percent | | (C) during the fourth, fifth, or sixth class day | 50 percent | | (D) seventh day of class and thereafter | None | If a student withdraws from a term or session of five weeks or less, the refund is as follows: | (A) prior to the first class day | 100 percent (less $15.00 matriculation fee) | | (B) during the first class day | 80 percent | | (C) during the second class day | 50 percent | | (D) during the third class day and thereafter | None | The refund is calculated on the total cost of tuition and mandatory fees charged for the courses in which the student was enrolled prior to withdrawal.
If a student drops a class on or before the census date of the semester (12th class day for fall and spring semesters; 4th class day for summer terms) and remains enrolled in at least one course for that term, the tuition and mandatory fees for the dropped class will refunded to the student. |
