REFUND POLICY FOR
STUDENTS WHO WITHDRAW
6.
A student who officially
withdraws from the
Community & Technical
College (i.e. drops all
classes) through the
Office of Registration
and Records or is
administratively
withdrawn form college
prior to completing 60%
of a semester is
entitled to a partial
refund of that
semester's tuition/fees.
Refund amounts are
calculated to the day
based on the number of
calendar days which have
elapsed from the first
day of class to the date
of withdrawal. The date
of withdrawal is the
actual date the student
notifies the Office of
Registration of
withdrawal or the
midpoint (50% of the
semester for a student
who leaves without
notifying the
institution. Any student
who withdraws at any
point during the
semester is advised to
consult with the
Cashier's Office to
determine whether there
is a balance owing or a
refund due.
For a student receiving
federal financial aid*
who withdraws before
completion of 60% of the
semester, the amount of
federal financial aid
earned will be
calculated to the day
according to the same
formula. Unearned
financial aid must be
returned. When aid is
returned, the student
may owe a balance to the
college, to the U.S.
Department of Education,
or to both. Any student
receiving federal
financial aid would
contact the Office of
Student Financial
Assistance before
withdrawing from college
or reducing the number
of hours enrolled to
determine the impact of
these actions on his or
her financial aid
status.
7.
Refunds are calculated
from the first formal
day of Registration.
Refunds will not be
processed until after
the end of the refund
period.
8.
Parents are advised to
send money orders or
checks made payable to
West Virginia State
University for the exact
amount charged. All
payments should be sent
directly to the
Cashier's Office. Change
will not be returned to
students on personal
checks until the checks
have cleared the bank.
9.
When money is being sent
directly to student
other that for payment
of student accounts or
obligations to West
Virginia State
University, the sender
should use a Postal
Money Order, Bank Money,
Cashier's Check, or
Western Union Money
Order, since personal
checks cannot be cashed
by the Cashiers' Office.
10. INSTALLMENT PAYMENT
PLANS
Student tuition fee
deferred payment
plans will be
offered for fall and
spring terms.
All available
financial aid for
the term must be
credited to the
student's account
prior to determining
the amount available
for deferral.
After all financial
aid is applied to
the student's
account, sixty
percent (60%) of the
balance of student
fees must be paid
prior to the end of
the sixth week of
classes.
The remaining
balance, including
interest, must be
paid prior to the
end of the sixth
week of classes.
Interest on the
deferred amount may
be charged at a rate
not to exceed the
legal limit.
