Additional Refund Information
This schedule pertains to instructional, general and non-resident fees (where applicable); a separate refund schedule for
room and meal plan charges is outlined in the housing acceptance agreement. No deduction is granted because a student begins
the semester late.
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 and The General Bulletin, whether or not all charges have been paid in full at the time of withdrawal.
