REFUND POLICIES & PROCEDURES

There are NO REFUNDS for Tuition and Fees after the Registration Deadlines for the classes unless the student officially withdraws from BYU-Idaho. Students will be charged for the classes

for which they are registered until officially withdrawn from school, even though they may not have been attending the classes.

All registered classes will be added together in determining the tuition to be charged, even if some of the classes have not started.  At the Registration Deadlines students have purchased their places in the registered classes, and there will be NO REFUND given unless a student completely withdraws from school.

Students may come into the Accounting Office before withdrawing from school to see how the withdrawal will affect them financially.

Computation of Tuition Refunds

The following charges will be made to withdrawing students.  Federal Refund Guidelines for Financial Aid are used:

1. If a student withdraws prior to the first day of the semester, there will be no charge. The Registration Deposit will be applied to any outstanding debts and the balance mailed to the student when they lose their Continuing Student Status.

2. If the withdrawal date is on or after the first day of the semester, the student will be charged a $60 processing fee. The Registration Deposit will be applied to this fee.

3. If the withdrawal date is between the first day and the Registration Deadline of the semester, a full refund will be given for tuition and fee charged.

4. If the withdrawal date is after the Registration Deadline, the student will receive a refund of a portion of the tuition and fees already charged. This refund will be based upon the number of calendar days from the beginning of the semester to the date of withdrawal. Approximately one percent will be charged for each calendar day in school (two percent for block students).

5. After the semester (or block for block students) is sixty percent completed, there will be no refund for tuition or fees.

Federal Title IV Financial Aid

When a student receives Title IV funds (Pell Grant, Stafford and PLUS Loans) to attend BYU-Idaho and subsequently withdraws from school, Federal law and regulations require the computation of the total unearned amount of the financial aid AND the amount unearned by the institution for tuition, fees, and campus room and board. The difference between these two is the amount which the student will owe to the government. The earned and unearned amounts are calculated by dividing the total calendar days of the term into the number of days up to the withdrawal date. After sixty percent of the term is past, the full amount of the financial aid is

considered Earned. The institutional Unearned portion of the financial aid will be applied first to any loans and then to any amount owing on the Pell Grant. Also, the student may owe money to the government for the Pell Grants as well as the outstanding balance of any loans.

Housing and Meal Contracts

Refunds will be processed when the contract is terminated and will be computed according to the terms of the contract.

Student Insurance

Student insurance is non-refundable after the Insurance Waiver Deadlines.

Class and Related Fees

These fees are non-refundable after the Registration Deadlines unless (1) certified by the instructor a not being used, or (2) the student withdraws from school.

Application of Refunds

If payments exceed the adjusted charges for tuition and fees and other charges, the overpayment or refund will be credited (1) to outstanding debts owing by the student to BYU-Idaho, (2) to any

debt owing to the government for Pell Grants, and (3) to school scholarships or grants awarded to the student during that semester or term. If a balance remains, it will be mailed to the student within thirty days of the withdrawal.
