If you paid your fees by credit card, your refund will be credited to the card that you used to pay. Any other method of payment will be refunded via e-refund. Sign up for e-refund on My新澳门六合彩资料. A $10 refund processing fee, and any outstanding fees or charges, will be deducted from your refund.

Students who withdraw or drop in units after the deadlines have passed may appeal for a Special Circumstances Refund. When a refund is requested due to a serious medical condition or injury beyond the student's control, the student should NOT request a special circumstances refund. Instead, the student must complete a Medical Withdrawal Petition form obtainable at the Beach Central front windows on the Brotman Hall first floor. Refunds will be calculated on a pro-rated basis.

How to Calculate a Prorated Refund:

  1. Count the number of days from the first day of the semester (Spring 2022 = Jan. 20) to the date of your withdrawal.
  2. Divide the number of days by number of days in the semester (110) and multiply it by actual fees charged to get your prorated fee.
  3. Subtract prorated fee from actual fees paid. This will be your approximate refund, minus the $10 refund processing fee.
  • Example:
    • Elbee withdraws from all Spring classes on the 10th day of the semester.
    • 10/110 x $3,444.00 = $313.09
    • $3,444.00 - $313.09 - $10.00 = $3,120.91 refund
