REFUNDS


Requests for Refund - Before financial aid appears as a payment on student accounts, students must finalize registration via CyberBear. UM mails refund checks for students with credit balances on May 16. Beginning May 19, students should formally request refunds using CyberBear. From May 11-July 18, UM mails refund checks on Thursdays for students requesting refunds by 6:00 pm on Tuesdays.

Withdrawls/Refunds - Students should complete the withdrawal process (dropping all classes) at Griz Central, 2nd floor, Lommasson Center. The official withdrawal date, as recorded by the University Registrar, is the date used to determine the amount credited to the student account. Generally, UM credits no fees after the tenth class day of Summer Semester. UM may deduct existing debts such as library charges, health service charges, etc., from any refunds due the student. For further information, students should contact the Business Services Office.

Withdrawls/Financial Aid - If students receive federal financial aid, refunds follow specific rules. Federal regulations require students to earn their aid using a pro-rata formula. Students may have to repay federal aid immediately, including money received for living expenses, if the withdrawal date occurs prior to 60% of the term (about 6 weeks for the full 10-week session and 3 weeks for each 5-week session). UM may return financial aid funds to the funding source for students who receive aid during the semester in which they withdraw. Students should consult the Financial Aid Office for more information.

Fee Policy on Drop/Add - Students must make an initial fee payment at registration for courses in which they are enrolled. Students enrolled in 5-week courses establish their enrollment status for fee purposes during the first five days of the session. The courses for which students are enrolled on the fifth day determine any fee adjustments. Beginning the sixth day, courses added increase credit hour enrollment for fee purposes and may result in additional charges in accordance with the fee schedule.

UM allows students enrolled in 10-week courses to establish their enrollment status for fee purposes during the first ten days of the session. Courses dropped after the tenth day do not result in reduced fees. All courses added increase credit hour enrollment for fee purposes and may result in additional charges in accordance with the fee schedule.
