Full Refunds (Complete Withdrawal from the University)

Students who have completely withdrawn from the University during the term will receive a refund of mandatory fees, including non-resident tuition. The prorated refund is based on the number of days in the term in which the student was enrolled. A student withdrawing after the 60% point in the term will not be eligible to receive a refund of basic registration fees or non-resident tuition.

IMPORTANT!

• A $5.00 refund processing fee will be deducted from all refunds.
• Refunds are automatically generated for students who drop courses through the add/drop period which is the first through second week of classes. If you dropped all of your courses before the end of the campus designated add/drop period and wish to receive your refund, please send an e-mail to studentrefund@fullerton.edu stating that you will not add other courses and would like a refund. Otherwise all student overpayments will be automatically refunded after Census date.
• Check payments require forty days to elapse (from the original payment date) before refund can be processed to allow time for the funds to clear. Any payment made by credit card will be credited back to the same credit card that was used for the payment.
• Overpayments from one semester will automatically be applied toward account balances due in another semester. This will reduce the total amount you owe the University and no refund will be processed.
• For special sessions of less than four (4) weeks, no refund of basic registration fees and non-resident tuition will be made unless a student cancels registration or drops all classes prior to the first day of classes in accordance with University’s established procedures and deadlines.

SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCE REFUNDS

Students will also receive a refund of mandatory fees, including non-resident tuition under the following circumstances:

• The tuition and mandatory fees were assessed or collected in error;
• The course for which the tuition and mandatory fees were assessed or collected was cancelled by the University;
• The University makes a delayed decision that the student was not eligible to enroll in the term for which mandatory fees were assessed and collected and delayed decision was not due to incomplete or inaccurate information provided by the student, or;
• The student was activated for compulsory military service.

REFUND APPEALS

Students who are not entitled to a refund as described above may petition the University for a refund demonstrating exceptional circumstances and the Chief Financial Officer of the University or designee may authorize a refund if he or she determines that the fees and tuition were not earned by the University. An Application to Appeal for Reversal of Fees form is available at the Admissions and Records Service Center (LH-114) or the Student Account Services Office (UH-180). Any documentation to support a refund appeal MUST be submitted with the appeal form to Student Account Services, UH-180.

Failure to follow formal University procedures regarding CANCELLATION OF REGISTRATION OR WITHDRAWAL FROM THE INSTITUTION

Students who find it necessary to cancel their registration or to withdraw from all classes after enrolling for any academic term are required to follow the University’s official withdrawal procedures. Failure to follow formal University procedures may result in an obligation to pay fees as well as the assignment of failing grades in all courses and the need to apply for readmission before being permitted to enroll in another academic term. Information on canceling registration and withdrawal procedures is available from the Admissions and Records office.
