Dates are subject to change. **Student refunds for tuition are calculated based on the student’s liable hours after
the drop/withdrawal. Liable hours are calculated as the total hours a student is
still registered plus the liable portion of the dropped/withdrawn course(s). The
liable portion is computed by taking the number of dropped hours times the liability
rate (which is 100 percent minus the refund percentage). The refund amount is determined
to be the difference of the original assessment and the assessment based on the new
liable hours. For students whose liable hours are 12 or above, no refunds are processed.
Other academic fees are non-refundable after the 100 percent refund percentage. For
students activated for full-time military service during an academic term, the University
follows state law in Section 59-101-395. If a student has an overdue balance, the
refund will be applied to the balance due. For other information, please refer to
the refund page of the Bursar's website.
