Texas Christian University

Refund Policy for Tuition and Fees

Purpose

Texas Christian University (TCU) is committed to administering refunds in a fair, consistent, and transparent manner. This policy establishes the conditions under which tuition, mandatory fees, room, and board may be refunded when a student drops courses, withdraws from the University, or has their enrollment canceled. This policy applies to all students enrolled in TCU academic programs.

1. Tuition and Mandatory Fees
2. Standard 15‑Week Term Refund Schedule

For courses in the standard 15‑week fall and spring terms, tuition and applicable fees are refunded based on the official date of withdrawal, as follows:

• 100% refund through the 7th day of the semester
• 75% refund from the 8th through the 14th day
• 50% refund from the 15th through the 21st day
• 25% refund from the 22nd through the 28th day
• No refund after the 28th day of the semester

Refund periods are determined by the Academic Calendar and include weekends.

1. Non‑Standard Terms and Sessions

TCU offers multiple sessions each semester (e.g., summer, winter, and accelerated terms). Refund schedules for these sessions may differ from the standard 15‑week term.

Students should refer to the Registrar’s Calendar for term‑specific refund deadlines:
https://registrar.tcu.edu/calendars.php

2. Official Withdrawal Requirements

• Failure to attend classes or notifying an instructor does not constitute an official withdrawal.
• To officially withdraw from all classes, students must email regnotattending@tcu.edu and include:
• Full name
• TCU ID number
• Date of last class attendance

The effective withdrawal date is used to determine refund eligibility and is published in the Academic Calendar.

3. Course Drops and Enrollment Changes

• Dropping a course during the refund period may result in a tuition adjustment based on the applicable refund schedule.
• Tuition is assessed according to the student’s tuition rate type  (flat‑rate or per‑credit hour). Changes in enrollment status may result in recalculated charges.

4. Enrollment Cancellation for Non‑Attendance or Non‑Payment

Enrollment may be canceled for students who:

• Do not attend any classes, or
• Fail to resolve overdue balances in accordance with university payment deadlines.

Enrollment cancellation is different from withdrawal. A withdrawal may result in adjusted charges, aid reversal, or ongoing financial responsibilities, depending on the timing and circumstances.

5. Financial Aid Considerations

• Refunds of institutional charges do not determine financial aid eligibility.
• Federal, state, and institutional financial aid is adjusted according to applicable policies and regulations when a student drops or withdraws from courses.
• These changes may happen after the official enrollment census date or after aid has already been awarded or disbursed
• Federal student loan amounts may be affected by enrollment from earlier semesters, according to new federal regulations. Aid may be adjusted in a later semester within the same academic year.
• Enrollment status for tuition and billing purposes may not always match the enrollment status used to determine federal loan eligibility.
• According to new federal regulations, all aid, including federal student loan amounts, could be influenced by enrollment from previous semesters. Assistance may also be modified in a subsequent semester within the same academic year.
• For published financial aid policy, see https://financialaid.tcu.edu/consumer-information/policies/aid-adjustments.php

6. Refund Method and Timing

• Refunds are applied first to any outstanding charges on the student account.
• Any remaining credit balance is refunded to the student using the University’s standard refund method (typically direct deposit).

7. Exceptions and Refund Appeals

Students or parents who believe that exceptional circumstances warrant consideration beyond this policy may submit a written appeal to the Dean of Students.

• Appeals may address tuition, fees, room, and board
• Approval of an appeal is not guaranteed
• Appeals cannot override federal financial aid regulations
• Additional documentation may be required to support the request

8. Program‑Specific and Departmental Policies

Certain academic programs, professional schools, or cohort‑based programs may publish separate refund policies due to accreditation, clinical requirements, or program structure. When applicable, those published policies supersede this general refund policy.

9. Shared Responsibility and Oversight

This refund policy is administered collaboratively by:

• Student Financial Services & Accounts Receivable
• The Office of the Registrar
• Housing & Residence Life
• Financial Aid
• Student Affairs
