Refund Policy Semester-Length Courses Students who are enrolled and who officially withdraw or are dis-enrolled shall have their tuition and specified mandatory fees refunded according to the following schedule: Long Semester Prior to the first class day of the semester. 100% During the (first) five class days of the semester 80% During the (second) five class days of the semester 70% During the (third) five class days of the semester 50% During the (fourth) five class days of the semester 25% After the fourth five class days None Summer Session Prior to the first class day of the semester. 100% During the first, second or third class day of the semester... 80% During the fourth, fifth or sixth class day of the semester 50% After the sixth class day of the semester.. None Students who reduce their semester credit hour loads by officially dropping a course or courses and remain enrolled at the institution will have tuition and specified mandatory fees refunded according to the following schedule: Long Semester During the first 12 class days of the semester 100% After the 12th class day of the semester.. None Summer Session During the first four class days of the semester 100% After the fourth class day of the semester.. None Mini-Courses Students who are enrolled for mini-courses and officially withdraw will have their tuition and specified mandatory fees refunded according to the length of the mini-course. Due to the variety of lengths of mini-courses offered at UTB/TSC, the Business Office must be consulted for the refund schedule. Return of Title IV Funds When a recipient of Federal Title IV grant or loan assistance withdraws from UTB/TSC during the payment period in which the student began attendance, UTB/TSC must determine the amount of Title IV grant or loan assistance that the student earned as of the student’s withdrawal date. The date, as determined by UTB/TSC, that the student began the withdrawal is the date used for calculating the percentage used in the formula for Return of Title IV funds. The number of days from the first class day to the withdrawal date divided by the number of days in the payment period (semester) equals the percentage of Title IV funds earned. If the withdrawal date is after the 60% point, the student has earned 100% of the Title IV funds. Federal Work-Study is not included in this calculation. If the total amount of Title IV grant and/or loan assistance that was disbursed to or on behalf of the student, the difference between these amounts must be returned to the Title IV programs in the following order of priority (not exceed amount originally disbursed): Unsubsidized FFEL Stafford Loans Subsidized FFEL Stafford Loans Perkins (n/a at UTB/TSC) FFEL Plus Federal Pell Grant Federal SEOG Other Title IV assistance (not including Federal Work-Study) The school and the student share the responsibility for returning Title IV aid. The school returns “unearned” Title IV funds that have been paid to the school to cover the student’s institutional charges. The student returns “unearned” Title IV funds that he or she has received from loan and/or grant programs. The school must return Title IV funds due to the federal programs no later than 30 days after the date the school determines the student withdrew. If the student owes funds back to the Title IV programs, the institution will advise the student 30 days of determining that the student withdrew. The student has 45 days from the date of notification from the institution to take action on the overpayment. If the student’s portion of unearned Title IV funds included federal grant, the student has to pay no more than 50% of the initial amount that the student is responsible for returning. Immediate repayment of the unearned loan amount is not required because the student repays the loan to the lender according to the terms or conditions in the promissory note. The institution will advise the lender of the student’s withdrawal within 30 days of determining the student withdrew. No additional disbursements may be made to the student for the period of enrollment. If the student does not repay the amount owed to the Title IV programs or does not make satisfactory payment arrangements with the Department of Education, UTB/TSC will report to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) that the student received an overpayment. The student loses eligibility for further Title IV aid until resolved. Contact the Office of Student Financial Assistance for full policy and sample calculation. Reimbursement Priority Refunds are required to be credited to the following financial aid programs in this order: 1. Outstanding balances on Part B, D, and E loans; 2. Awards for Pell, SEOG, and the CWS programs; 3. Title IV student assistance programs; 4. Financial aid programs; 5. The student.
Residency Waiver for Mexican Residents State law allows students who are citizens of Mexico and who can document financial need to pay the same tuition as residents of the State of Texas when enrolling. To be eligible for this waiver, such students must complete all university matriculation requirements, document financial need, and be accepted for admission into the graduate program. Such students continue to be classified as nonresident or foreign students. Contact the Office of Student Financial Assistance at Tandy Hall 206.
