Credit Balance/Withdrawal Polices (Traditional)

Credit Balance Refunds
Credits that are the result of overpayments or excess financial aid will be refunded to the student by check.   Credits that are the result of a Parent Plus loan or payments through Academic Management Services (AMS) will be refunded to the parent, or as directed on a Refund Request Form.   Refunds are not available for processing until the drop/add period ends for each semester.    A Refund Request Form must be completed in order for a refund check to be issued.

A Statement of Authorization and Certification must be on file before a refund check will be issued.

Withdrawal Refund Policy

Withdrawal procedures: Non-attendance of class does not constitute withdrawal.   Any student who withdraws from the university, regardless of the reason, must see the Dean of Students and complete the withdrawal process.   Failure to officially withdraw will result in academic penalties.   Upon withdrawal from the university the student's identification card must be surrendered to the Dean of Students.

Tuition Adjustments:   Adjustments are computed on total charges for tuition and fees.   The official withdrawal date assigned by the Dean of Students will be used in calculating all refunds.

If changes are made and the student still is taking at least 12 hours, there will be no adjustment in the full-time tuition rate.

Room/Board and Fees
There is no refund of room charges for the semester, but prorated board charges will be refunded.
Normally there is no refund of lab fees.   An exception is made for lab fees assessed in the aviation program.
Ground School Lab Fees: Same schedule as tuition.

Flight Courses:   Fees are prorated based on time incurred; however, there is a penalty of 10 percent of the unused fee assessed for those who withdraw after the last day to add a class.
