1.21 | Tuition Refunds

1.21.A | Students that choose not to complete a class for the semester but intend to remain enrolled in other courses for the remainder of the semester should follow the procedure to drop the class. Dropping a course is not appropriate for students enrolled in only one course for the semester. If the student is enrolled in one course and does not wish to complete it, the student should follow the withdrawal process.

1.21.B | Students will have 100% of the charges associated with a dropped course reversed from their university balance, only if the course is dropped by midnight of the census date for the semester. Courses dropped after the census date will be due in full on:

  1. 12th class day for Fall and Spring semesters
  2. 4th class day for Summer 1 term
  3. 4th class day for Summer 2 term
  4. 2nd class day for Winter Intersession
  5. 2nd class day for Spring Intersession

1.21.C | Petition for Waiver of University Regulations: Students who have experienced extenuating circumstances and were unable to withdraw or drop a course within the allotted timeframe may complete a Petition for Waiver of University Regulations. You can complete a Petition at the following link: https://cm.maxient.com/reportingform.php?WestTexasAMUniv&layout_id=9. General rules surrounding the Petition process are:

  1. Petitions must be submitted by the last class day of the following semester - for example: if you wish to Petition Fall 2023, your submission must be received before the last class day of Spring 2024.

  3. A full cancellation/refund of your bill is not guaranteed by the approval of a Petition.

  5. Decisions made by the committee are final.
