Refunds

Withdrawing from the university is defined as leaving the university for the remainder of the term and being officially removed from all classes.
Dropping a course or courses (but not withdrawing from the University) within the first 12 days of class in the Fall or Spring term or the first four days of class in a 8- Week or Summer term is eligible for a full adjustment of applicable tuition and fees for courses dropped.
State Statue 54.006
ADJUSTMENT OF TUITION AND MANDATORY FEES FOR DROPPED COURSES AND STUDENT WITHDRAWALS. (a) A general academic teaching institution or medical and dental unit, as soon as practicable, shall adjust the amount of tuition and mandatory fees collected for courses from which students drop within the first 12 days of a fall or spring semester or a summer term of 10 weeks or longer, within the first four days of a term or session of more than five weeks but less than 10 weeks, or within the period specified by the institution for that purpose for a term or session of five weeks or less that is substantially proportional to the period specified by this subsection for a longer term or session. The institution or medical and dental unit may not delay an adjustment under this subsection on the grounds that the student may withdraw from the institution or unit later in the semester or term.

Students who withdraw from UNTHSC or drop all courses during a term that receive (d) financial aid:
It is important for students who receive financial aid and subsequently withdraw or drop all courses during the term be aware of refund policies. In addition, it is important to understand the impact such actions will have on the aid released and their continuing eligibility for financial aid. Current refund policies for students who withdraw or drop all courses during a term are determined by the Higher Education Title IV refund regulations.
Federal Refund and Repayment calculations must be performed for students who receive Title IV (Pell, FSEOG, Perkins and/or Stafford Loans) funds and officially withdraw from all courses, drop out of all courses, are expelled, take an unapproved leave of absence, or fail to return from an approved leave of absence prior to the 60% date of the term. All “unearned aid” must be returned to the federal aid programs as determined by the Federal Refund and Repayment calculations.
The requirements for Title IV program funds are separate from the university refund policy. As such, you are responsible for unpaid institutional charges remaining after the refund calculation. You are also responsible for charges/balances created by the required return of Title IV program funds to the originating federal aid program.
If you have questions about your Title IV program funds, you can call the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-4-FEDAID (1-800-433-3243). TTY users may call 1-800-730-8913. Information is also available on Student Aid on the Web at www.studentaid.ed.gov.

Adjustments are made for any course dropped prior to the 12th day of class for the fall or spring term or a summer session of 10 weeks or longer. In addition, adjustments are 100% within the first four days of class for a term or session of more than five weeks but less than 10 weeks, and within the first two days of class of a session five weeks or shorter. The term’s first day of class is always the first official university day of classes for that specific term or session and not the first day of an individual’s class.

Withdrawal adjustments are determined by the number of enrolled semester credit hours at the time of withdrawal. The withdrawal percentages is applied to the total amount of tuition and fees, NOT the amount paid. The schedule below shows the amount you will receive as an adjustment based on the term and day you withdraw from the university. The term’s first day of class is always the first official university day of classes for that specific term or session and not the first day of an individual’s class. A withdrawal adjustment is based on the day of withdrawal, regardless of the date the class first meets.
