Tuition forfeitures or refunds

Students will be billed for the number of credits, including audit hours, on their course schedule at the beginning of the quarter. Only partial tuition reductions will result for courses dropped after June 25 for full and a term, and July 26 for b-term courses.

Students are expected to pay one-half of the tuition associated with courses dropped during the half-payment period shown below:

Type of course:	Half-payment period:
Full-term	June 30-July 13
a term	June 30-July 13
b term	July 31-Aug. 13

Courses dropped after these half-payment period dates receive no refund.

The University's forfeiture schedule is as follows:

(For policies regarding special-date courses that begin or end on dates other than the standard dates of a, b or full term, see the Special-Date Courses section of this Web site.)

• Students withdrawing by June 27 for full and a term, or July 30 for b term, do not pay tuition. Students withdrawing before the seventh calendar day of the quarter without returning their U-PASS sticker owe $75 for the U-PASS. No replacements are allowed for students who pay the $75 fee and then lose their U-PASS sticker.
  
  
• Students withdrawing from June 30-July 13 for full and a term, or from July 31-Aug. 13 for b term, continue to owe one-half of their tuition. Students withdrawing after June 29 for full and a term, or July 30 for b term, will be charged the applicable forfeiture and may retain their U-PASS by paying the quarterly fee or return it no later than the tuition due date to have the fee waived. There will be no U-PASS refunds after the tuition payment deadline.
  
  
• Students withdrawing after July 14 for full and a term, or Aug. 14 for b term, continue to owe full tuition.
  
  
• International students who are registered for an English Language Program course must make a separate request for a refund for that course by contacting the ELP Office, 4909 25th Ave. NE, on the second floor of the King Building, at the same time they withdraw from the University.
  
  
• Students who drop classes from June 30-July 13 for full and a term, or from July 31-Aug. 13 for b term that result in lower tuition, will owe one-half of the tuition associated with the reduced credit hours.
  
  
• If you are a Title IV financial aid recipient attending your first quarter at the University and withdraw after June 29 for full and a term, or July 30 for b term, you must pay a prorated portion of the University charges. Charges are prorated based on the portion of the quarter for which you are enrolled. The pro rata refund provision applies to tuition, fees, room and board and other charges which would otherwise be assessed by the University.

Course drops become effective the date received and processed on MyUW, by the Registration Office, 225 Schmitz, or through the departmental registration screen used in academic departments.

Students may petition forfeitures for extenuating circumstances (death, disability, etc.) through the Student Fiscal Services Office.
