Refund Policy

The university bases refunds for drops or withdrawals on the total tuition the student pays. Students who drop or withdraw are responsible for any remaining tuition payments. A total withdraw by the dates listed below will result in a reduction in total assessed tuition provided the student remains enrolled for the semester. No reduction of fees will be given for withdraws after the dates listed below. Note: The semester’s first class day is always the first official day of the semester, not the first day of an individual’s class.

A student withdrawing during a fall or spring semester or a summer term of 10 weeks or longer may be eligible for a refund according to the following scale:

Prior to the 1st class day	100%
During the first 5 class days	80%
During the second 5 class days	70%
During the third 5 class days	50%
During the fourth 5 class days	25%
After the fourth 5 class days	0%

A student withdrawing during a term or session of more than 5 weeks but less than 10 weeks may be eligible for a refund according to the following scale:

Prior to the 1st class day	100%
During the 1st-3rd class day	80%
During the 4th-6th class day	50%
The 7th class day and thereafter	0%

A student withdrawing from a term or session of five weeks or less may be eligible for a refund according to the following scale:

Prior to the 1st class day	100%
During the 1st class day	80%
During the 2nd class day	50%
The 3rd class day and thereafter	0%

Students who drop courses within the first 12 class days of a fall or spring term or within the first four (4) days of a summer term will receive a full refund for those courses dropped provided the student remains enrolled for that semester. The university calculates refunds for courses, which a student drops and from which a student later withdraws according to the schedules above.
The university will process refunds for mini-terms according to the schedule for summer terms.
If a scheduled course fails to materialize by reason of lack of required students, the university will refund all fees for the course.
The university will not refund fees for audited courses.

Refunds and Financial Aid

All Financial Aid refund checks will be mailed to the student's current address on file in the Admission's Office unless the student elects for direct deposit via the Touchnet Payment Gateway.
Students who have received financial aid that withdraw from A&M-Texarkana on or before the 60% point in the semester must repay a portion of their financial aid as specified by the Federal formula. The student is only eligible to maintain the amount of financial aid they have earned at the time attendance ceases. The student will be required to repay both the Federal programs and A&M-Texarkana for institutional charges. A&M-Texarkana will use the Federal formula in determining the amount the student must repay. All financial aid students must contact the Financial Aid Office before withdrawing from classes in order to understand the adverse affects of their withdrawal.
The student's financial aid award is based on their enrollment status on the university's official census date report. If the student drops below the number of hours for which they were paid on or before the official census date, repayment for some or all of the financial aid may be required. If the students drops after the census date, make-up hours may be required.
Students who are awarded financial aid that fail to attend any of their classes must repay ALL financial aid they received.

Refunds on Installment Plans
The university calculates withdrawal refund for students paying in installments as follows:

100% means he or she will receive a 100% refund of tuition paid.
80% means he or she will receive a refund of 30% (50% paid less 20% owed = 30% refund).
70% means he or she will receive a refund of 20% (50% paid less 30% owed = 20% refund).
50% means he or she will not receive a refund and does not owe any additional tuition (50% paid less 50% owed = 0)
25% means he or she owes an additional 25% of total assessed tuition (50% paid less 75% owed = 25% balance due).
