Student Tuition & Fees (cont'd)
Additional Information Regarding Fees

Withdrawing from All Classes and Refunds

The following refund schedule applies to the standard semester format.  For courses taught in nonstandard format such as Intersession, and special workshops, there are no refunds after the first day the class meets.  See the Summer Session catalog for information regarding the refund policy during summer.

1. Registration fee is nonrefundable.

2. 90 percent of all remaining mandatory fees will be refunded to the end of the fifth classroom day.

3. 75 percent of all remaining mandatory fees will be refunded to the end of the 10th classroom day.

4. 50 percent of all remaining mandatory fees will be refunded to the end of the 15th classroom day.

5. Refunds will not be made after the 15th day of classes.  Exceptions to this may occur in the case of financial aid students subject to the federal pro rata refund policy.

6. Refunds are determined as of the day the student officially withdraws from college and not from the date of last class attendance.

7. Classroom days are determined by the college calendar—not by the student’s class schedule.

MSU Billings students receiving Title IV funds and who officially or unofficially withdraw or are expelled, up to the 60% point of the semester, may be required to return federal funds.  Students may also be entitled to a post withdrawal refund up to the 60% point of the semester.  Examples of the Federal Title IV policy may be obtained at the MSU Billings Financial Aid Office.

Financial aid recipients will not receive refunds until their financial aid is repaid (Pell Grant, SEOG Grant, SSIG Grant, Perkins Loan, FFEL Loans, fee waivers, and some scholarships).  If the refund is insufficient to repay the financial aid programs, students will be billed for the over-awards.

Students who owe over-award repayments to any federal aid programs cannot receive future financial aid until repayment is made in full.

Changes in Credit Load After Payment of Fees

Students adding classes after payment of fees are required to pay additional fees created by the change in credit load.  Payment for these charges is due immediately.

Students dropping classes (but not withdrawing) will receive a 100 percent refund on classes dropped before the end of the 15th classroom day.  Refunds will not be made after the 15th classroom day.  Students will be assessed a $5.00 drop fee for each class dropped.
