Tuition and Fee Refunds All tuition and fee refunds are effective on the date the schedule adjustment is recorded in the Registrar’s Office.
The first week of classes is defined as the first seven calendar days of the semester. Semesters that begin during the week (e.g. Wednesday) are considered to have that first week end on the following Tuesday. Actual examples of refunds are available in the Bursar’s Office. Amounts less than $5 are refunded by request only.
Course Related Fees – Course related fees are not refundable after the start of the semester in most cases. Exceptions include art fees and lab breakage fees. Students must supply a letter from the Department of Art to the Bursar’s Office noting the amount of the appropriate refund. Lab breakage refunds will be determined by the department at the end of the semester.
Students dropping below full time or withdrawing from school who receive financial aid may have a portion of their refund returned to the program providing the aid. Additionally, financial aid refunds actually given to students may have to be repaid in accordance with federal regulations. Details are available in the Financial Aid Office. Federal refund/repayment regulations mandate specific refund/repayment formula in these instances.
The College Refund Committee – The College Refund Committee considers cases in which a student must withdraw or drop courses for reasons beyond his/her control and in cases of extreme financial hardship due to non-refund. Any petitions for refunds, along with supporting documentation, must be forwarded in writing to:
Any such petition should be made as soon as possible. No money is refunded unless petition for refund is made within one year after the end of the term for which the tuition was paid.
WAIVER OF MANDATORY FEES
The assessment of fees is necessary to provide students with services and benefits that cannot be funded by other means. Some fees are use-based. Parking fees, late-add/course withdrawal fees, and Student Alumni Association fees are examples of use-based fees. Other fees are assessed to provide services and benefits to all students. These fees include the College fee, athletic fee, technology fee, Brockport Student Government fee, and health fee. The College recognizes that some students have unique situations for which the assessment of a certain fee may not be appropriate. Many exceptional situations have already been programmed into the computer and the fees are not assessed for these situations. Fees are not waived for the following reasons: not wishing to pay fees; ownership of personal computer or access to the Internet at home; subscription to a health insurance plan; status as an adult or graduate student; and non-use of a particular service.
