Dropped Classes

(Student remains enrolled in one or more courses at the University.) Effective Drop Date is the date the drop is recorded in the Registrar’s Office.

   Expenses 37
2. If a course is dropped after the appropriate census date, the student will not receive a refund.

Special notes: For refund purposes, class days are determined by the calendar, not by the number of class meetings. As an example, if a semester starts on Monday, Thursday of that week is considered the 4th class day for all classes.

Those fees paid by Tuition Assistance or other third party receivable will be refunded to the military or other organization if a refund is due.

Tarleton’s refund policy is in accordance with mandates of the state of Texas.

Conditions of Refund

Refunds of tuition and fees will not be made until 10 days have elapsed from the date the fees were paid. Refunds of tuition and fees paid by a sponsor, donor, or scholarship shall be made to the source rather than directly to the student who has withdrawn if the funds were made available through the University. All student services and privileges shall terminate when a student withdraws or graduates from the University.

General Property Deposit (Breakage Deposit)

After 10 days from the date the Registrar certifies a student has officially withdrawn or graduated, the breakage-deposit balance may be refunded upon request.

Non-refundable Fees

Fees required for special courses, ID cards, freshman year experience, parking, testing, yearbook, installment plans, and late registration are non-refundable.

Room Rent and Meal Fees

Refunds to students withdrawing prior to the first class day will be based on a daily proration. Refunds to students withdrawing on or after the first class day will be based on a daily proration, less an early withdrawal fee equaling 10 percent of the semester room/meal rate. The effective date of withdrawal will be the date written notification is provided to the Registrar’s Office.

Texas Bucks

This is an optional debit plan that allows students to use their Texan Card to make purchases both on and off campus. Accounts are opened through the Texan Card Office with an initial deposit of $20.00. Cash withdrawals are not allowed.

Balances on dormant accounts: Accounts having a remaining balance on the earlier of either the third anniversary of the date issued if not used, or the third anniversary of the card’s last use must be remitted to the state.
