Refunds

2002-2003 Catalog

---

All policies regarding the payment or refunding of tuition, fees and charges are approved by the Board of Regents of The University of Texas System and comply with applicable state statutes. If a person desires clarification of any matter relating to payment or refund of such charges, he or she should contact the office or administrative unit from which the charge or refund originated.

A student who officially withdraws from school is entitled to a refund according to the schedule below:

Prior to the first class day		100%
The first five class days		80%
The second five class days		70%
The third five class days		50%
The fourth five class days		25%

No refunds thereafter.

No refund will be made until the expiration of 12 days after the beginning of classes. A check covering all refunds due will be mailed to the address left with the Office of Accounting. No refund will be granted unless applied for within one year after official withdrawal.

A matriculation fee of $15 will be deducted from the refund to students who withdraw before the first class day.

Return of Title IV Funds

A student attending UT Southwestern Medical Center who has received student financial aid and who officially withdraws, takes an approved leave of absence or is dismissed may be liable to return all or a portion of any aid received if the student's separation (withdrawal, leave or dismissal) occurs after a term has begun and before completion of the academic term. The Office of Student Financial Aid will utilize approved federal formulas to determine the amount of applicable financial aid as of the separation date. Financial aid funds that must be returned by the separating student will be designated to the appropriate financial aid program in accordance with federal regulations.

A student's separation date is:

1. The date the student begins the withdrawal process or officially notifies UT Southwestern of an intent to withdraw; or
2. The student's last date of attendance at a documented, academically related activity.

If UT Southwestern is required to return any funds to one or more financial aid programs on the student's behalf as a result of the student's withdrawal, leave of absence or dismissal within a term, the student will be billed accordingly for all amounts returned on the student's behalf.
