A student who did not attend any of a term's classes for which s/he was registered and did not officially drop the classes by the appropriate refund deadlines may appeal for consideration of reduced fees.  The appeal must include official documentation from all of the student's instructors verifying that the student did not attend any classes.  (A student who attended some classes, but not others, is not eligible to appeal for reduced fee consideration due to nonattendance.)  Only appeals that are formally filed with the Registrar's Office before a degree is posted to the academic record will be accepted and considered.  In addition, appeals must be formally filed no later than the end of the next term (excluding summer and/or winterim) after the term for which reduced fee consideration is requested.  The Registrar’s Office is the final authority for these appeals.

Financial aid recipients and international students must meet with the appropriate office(s) and obtain written confirmation from the office(s) before filing an appeal for reduced fees.

A student who successfully appeals for reduced fee consideration will be assessed fees equal to 20% of the original fees due, reduced to resident rates, plus an administrative late payment fee.  The Registrar’s Office will withdraw the student from all courses for the term using an effective date that is the university deadline for withdrawal.  The courses will appear on the student’s record with grades of ‘W’.  Student Financial Services will recalculate the student’s term bill at the 20% rate and assess a late payment fee.
