Bursar Tuition Appeal Committee
Tuition Appeal Forms are for students who are requesting a refund, credit or balance waiver of their tuition charges due to extenuating circumstances that occurred during a given term. Grades received and recorded on the student’s transcript will not be affected by this process and will remain as part of the student’s academic record.
The Bursar Tuition Appeal Committee will consider requests for adjustments to tuition charges when a student can document extenuating circumstances such as:
- Student Illness
- Illness of immediate family member
- Death of immediate family member
- Military deployment
- Change in employment schedule beyond the student’s control
- Verifiable Advising Error
In all cases, the situation must have interrupted your ability to:
- Adhere to the standard drop or withdrawal procedures.
- Attend class(es) for a substantial length of time.
- Complete the semester
Exceptions to this policy do apply.
Appeals must be received within sixty days from the end of the term in which the course was offered. Appeals older than that will be denied. The University considers the decision of the Bursar Tuition Appeal Committee final.
Grading, class assignments and other academic issues are not within the scope of this committee. Please contact your instructor, department chair, or academic dean.
Students should be aware that if a Tuition Appeal is submitted and they have received Financial Aid, their Aid may be impacted and they may potentially owe money to the University. We strongly suggest you meet with a Financial Aid Counselor before you file an appeal.
