Refunds

Do I Have a Refund?

Your SIS account is a valuable tool. Your personal account not only shows your academic and personal information, but also your financial information. Knowing whether or not you have a refund check is another feature that your SIS account will tell you.

Drop, Withdraw, Non-attendance

Once registered, an obligation to pay fees is in effect. Your obligation may be reduced by an official withdrawal filed with the Registrar's Office or reduction of the credit load. If you withdraw for nonpayment of fees and tuition, or withdraw voluntarily with unpaid fees, the obligation to pay fees remains in effect. As a heads up, non-attendance of classes does not constitute an official withdrawal. Failure to submit a withdrawal request with the Registrar Office for complete withdrawal from all classes may result in fees being assessed.

• To DROP one or more classes, but remain enrolled in other classes for a semester; refer to the Tuition & Fee Refund percentage above.
• To WITHDRAW you are dropping all classes in a semester. For example; taking 12+ week courses and withdrawing in week 1, you will have a 100% tuition refund and a $50 withdrawal penalty. In week 2, again 100% of tuition is refunded, with a $100 withdrawal penalty. In week 3 & 4, you will receive a refund of 50% (owing 50%) with no withdrawal penalty. By week 5 there is no refund, all tuition and fees are due. Withdraw for summer, would mean dropping all classes in all sessions.
• Non-attendance of class or classes does not have any effect upon fee obligations! An official drop or withdrawal is the only way to alter fee obligations. Contact the Registrar Office.

Due Dates

Tuition and fees must be paid in full on or before 4:30 pm CST on the specified due date to avoid mandatory late payment assessments. A Payment Plan is available. See the Due Date Calendar for specific term due dates.
(Reminder: Cashier window hours are 7:45 am to 4:15 pm CST)
