Students have the right to submit an appeal of the refund policy if there are significant or unusual circumstances that cause them to drop a course or withdraw from all courses after the refund period. Students may also appeal the assessment of late fees or penalty fees in case of extenuating circumstances or University error. The procedure for filing an appeal is:

1. After dropping the course or withdrawing from all courses, obtain the necessary fee appeal form from the Office of the Bursar. You must drop the course or withdraw from all courses before an appeal can be considered.
2. Submit the appeal form to the Office of the Bursar. Once submitted, the appeal is forwarded to the Fee Policy Appeals Committee for consideration.
3. Once a committee decision has been rendered, that decision will be communicated to the student in writing.

The Fee Policy Appeal Form is also published under the Forms section of the web site.

A request for appeal must be submitted within one year following the end of the semester or session for which relief is being sought.
