Refund Policy for Withdrawals and Dropped Classes

Important: Administrative offices are not open on weekends. If the percentage of refund due to a withdrawal changes over a weekend, the student must submit his/her withdrawal to the Office of the University Registrar, 91视频, Houston, TX 77204-2027 by 5 p.m. CST/CDT the Friday before that weekend in order to obtain the higher percentage of refund.

The effective date recorded for drops or withdrawals will be the date the student drops the course(s) through the Web or the date the drop form or written request is received by the Office of the University Registrar.

Important: If a credit balance is the result of dropped or withdrawn courses, or due to an overpayment, or due to credit(s) issued on an account, and no financial aid has been received, then a refund will be issued only by requesting that such refund be generated.

Credit balance refunds resulting from the application of excess financial aid will be refunded provided that the eligibility requirements for the receipt of financial aid are being met. Refunds will be disbursed in accordance with the student's refund selection method.

Important: If you are a parent/borrower with an approved Parent PLUS loan that requested refunds to go to yourself instead of the student, a check will be mailed to you at the address submitted in the Parent PLUS application. If you select the refund to go to the student during the Parent PLUS application, it will be sent to the student鈥檚 selected refund preference.

Withdrawals

Important - Definition of Withdrawal: Dropping all enrolled courses in a single term.
For example:
A student who enrolls in a Six Wk 1 course and a Six Wk 2 course is enrolled for one summer term.

Important Notice: Refund policy is determined by Texas Statute, not by the university. Your refund will be based on the amount of tuition and fees charged. It is not based on the amount you have actually paid.

For example: You have enrolled for classes with a total tuition and fee charges of $1000.00 for the semester. You withdraw during the 50% refund period. The university is owed $500.00 at this point in time.
Example A) If you had paid $500.00 at this time, you would receive no refund.
Example B) If you had only paid $300.00 at this time, you would still owe the university $200.00.
Example C) If you had paid $700.00 at this time, then $200.00 would be refunded to you.
