Dropped Courses & Withdrawal Fees

Prorated Costs of Tuition & Fees

Refunds for tuition and fees are calculated based on liable credit hours. Therefore, in some instances, a reduction to tuition and fees may not result in a refund. University Withdrawal forms can be found by visiting the Registrar's website.

DURING FALL, SPRING and SUMMER TERMS:

• 100% before the first day of classes;
• 75% beginning the first day of classes through the fourteenth day (including weekends);
• 25% beginning the fifteenth (15th) day of classes through 25% of the term;
• 0% after the 25% refund period.

Previous Semesters

* Withdrawal: To completely withdraw from all classes.

** Drop: To drop a course or courses that will not result in a complete withdrawal. For dropped courses, charges are computed prior to the issuance of any refunds. A refund is not due unless the charge for the remaining courses plus the percentage charge for the courses dropped is less than the maximum semester charge for tuition and maintenance fees.

FAILURE ON THE PART OF THE STUDENT TO SUBMIT A DROP COURSE REQUEST OR A WITHDRAWAL FORM TO THE TSU RECORDS OFFICE COULD RESULT IN THE FORFEITURE OF THE PRORATED AMOUNTS.

EXCEPTIONS:

• 100% prorated amounts are returned for classes that are cancelled by the University.
• 100% prorated amounts are returned in the untimely death of the student.
• Tuition is not prorated if the student is dismissed or suspended.

Prorated Costs of Housing & Meal Plans

TSU Residence Life Housing and Meal Plan charges are prorated on a weekly basis when a student is forced to cancel housing charges because of personal medical reasons.  A Residence Life billable week consists of three consecutive days.   

The housing withdrawal must be completed with the TSU Residence Life Office, only.  A Residence Life Tab is accessible on your myTSU account.  The request to withdraw for medical reasons must be confirmed, in writing, by a licensed physician.  The TSU Residence Life Office [ ResLife@tnstate.edu ] will review your account charges for any reason other than a disciplinary reason.
