PLEASE NOTE: There is a difference in official withdrawal refunds versus dropped course refunds as follows:
WITHDRAWAL REFUNDS = DROPPING ALL COURSES
- Students who decide not to remain enrolled must contact the Student Rights and Responsibilities office to invalidate (delete) their class schedules if it is prior to the semester beginning or to withdraw if it is after the semester has begun. That office is located in the Clark Student Center, Room 108, or call (940) 397-7500.
- Installment plan fees, loan origination fees, and loan service charges are non-refundable.
