Appeal for Refund of Fees
The Office of the Bursar will consider appeals for refunds due to involuntary withdrawal from classes after the normal refund period. In addition, the office will review the request for waiver of late penalties assessed students.
In order to be considered for a refund or waiver of fees, a student must:
- Submit the request no more than one semester following the close of the appealed semester.
- Have officially withdrawn from classes, if applicable to appeal. Grade transcript indicates a "W" for the classes in question. Grade change appeals must be submitted to Student Services and be approved prior to submitting appeal to the Bursar Office.
- Repay any financial aid required to be returned as determined by the Office of Student Financial Aid Services.
- Submit the Official appeal form with the following information:
- Name, address and student identification number.
- Detailed reason(s) for the appeal.
- Semester and course numbers for which a refund is requested.
- Any supporting documentation.
**Please note: appeals must be submitted by the STUDENT, appeals on behalf of the student will be accepted from a parent or guardian only in circumstances where the student may be physically or mentally impaired.
Supply supporting documentation that is applicable:
- Letter from Dean, Department Chair, counselor or instructor.
- Letter from physician detailing nature of illness or injury.
- Other documentation necessary, i.e. employer, police report etc.
Appeals are rarely considered unless supporting documentation is provided. Please note that all documentation must be on OFFICIAL LETTERHEAD. If supporting documentation is needed and not included, written notification will be sent advising you of this. The appeal will remain "pending" for 30 days whereupon it becomes inactive and no action will be taken on our part.
Please note that financial aid recipients MAY be placed into repayment status if an appeal is granted. These candidates should consult with the Financial Aid Office for counseling prior to withdrawing and appealing.
Appeals Form
