Tuition and Fee Appeal Process
If students wish to receive an exception to University policy and drop classes after the tuition refund deadline and receive a refund of any type or wish to have the late registration fee or the late transaction fee waived, they should follow this process:
Complete the Tuition and Fee Appeal form and submit it to the Office of the Registrar. All supporting documentation should be submitted at this time (i.e. medical documentation).
The Registrar will prepare a packet of information that includes the student’s current semester’s schedule, the tuition statement for the current and previous semesters, the list of courses and grades for the student and the financial aid status for the student.
The Appeals Committee (comprised of the Registrar, Dean of Students, Director of Admissions, Director of the Laptop HelpDesk, One Stop Center Coordinator, and Director of Student Accounting) reviews each student request and packet of information and makes a determination. The Committee may also contact the student’s instructor(s) to inquire as to attendance record and current grade in the course. The Registrar then sends a letter to the student with the decision.
Students should be aware that if an exception is made, that their financial aid may be impacted and they may potentially owe the University money in some circumstances.
It is important to note that exceptions to University policy are made only in rare circumstances, such as a debilitating illness. Requests made because of difficult work schedules, misadvising claims, difficult class schedules, not knowing the policies will not be considered.
Please note that in accordance with our federal student ais guidelines, institutional policy is that students have thirty (30) days from the last day of classes to file an appeal for any semester. Thereafter, an appeal will not be considered.
