REFUND POLICIES & SCHEDULE Fall 2008

Refund Processing

To be eligible for a refund, a student must officially drop classes by submitting the appropriate form to Admissions and Records. The date submitted will be used to establish eligibility for a refund.

• Student Governance Fees are non-refundable.
• Student Activity Center fees are non-refundable on or after the first day of instruction.
• Amounts owed to the University of Alaska (any campus) will be deducted from the refund.
• In the event any class is cancelled by UAS, a full refund will be issued for that class.
• Whalesong fees are non-refundable.
• Health Center fees are non-refundable.

After submitting the drop form to Admissions and Records a student should request a refund from the Student Accounts office. Please allow up to 10 days from the refund request for processing. If a mailed refund is not received within 15 days, please contact the Student Accounts office at 796-6267. Federal regulations stipulate that students who are receiving Federal Title IV aid and who totally withdraw may be eligible to receive a partial refund of tuition and fees, which is to be repaid to the appropriate Title IV program(s). In addition, some funding resources require the return of the funds when the recipient reduces his/her course load but does not totally withdraw. Consult the Financial Aid Office at 796-6255 for details or refer to the "Financial Aid Refund Repayment Policy" in the academic catalog. Note: This required refund may leave the student with a debt owed to UAS.
