Please note when filling out withdrawal forms or drop/add cards that the date placed on these forms will determine the percentage of refund.

Room and Meal Plan

The above schedule does not pertain to room and meal plan refunds.  Students should refer to their personal copy of the Residential Acceptance Agreement or contact Residence Life at 214 Conklin if they have any questions concerning room refunds.  Meal plan refund questions need to be directed to Dining Services, Room 100 in the Centrex Building.

Per the Bowling Green State University Undergraduate Catalog.

 Additional Refund Information

A student who drops a course or courses and remains registered between 11 and 18 credit hours is still billed as full-time and, therefore, not entitled to any fee credit. If a student voluntarily drops below 11 credit hours, the per-credit-hour rate schedule is applicable for the remaining courses. The student is then refunded based on a class-by-class reduction calculation. Please see above refund schedules for your particular situation.

Please remember it is the student's responsibility to execute the drop on the web or in person or initiate and submit schedule changes to his/her appropriate college office in a timely fashion for any recalculation consideration of tuition and fees. Every effort will be made to process refunds for credit balances within a three week time period. If you believe you are entitled to a refund and you have yet to receive it, there are a number of ways to find out its status. Students may access their account balance on the website: http://my.bgsu.edu to see if they have a credit balance or look for "refund" on their statement.

A student who stops attending classes and does not complete a formal withdrawal notice by the end of the relevant semester is not entitled to any refund. A student withdrawing under disciplinary action forfeits all rights to the return of any portion of fees. However, in the event of academic dismissal, all monies prepaid for a semester are refunded in full.

 

---

Note: The above refund schedules are strictly followed regardless of your payment plan. Refund of tuition/fees, room and/or meals, due to withdrawal from class(es), will be calculated according to the schedule that is published in the Housing Acceptance Agreement, whether or not all charges have been paid in full at the time of withdrawal.
