(1) Approval
of the cancellation with the date it becomes effective must be certified by the
chief administrative officer of the college or his duly designated
representative. No money shall be refunded unless application for the refund is
made within one year after the end of term for which the tuition requested to
be refunded was paid to State University. The first day that classes are
offered, as scheduled by the campus, shall be considered the first day of the
semester, quarter or other term, and the first week of classes for purposes of
this section, shall be deemed to have ended when seven calendar days, including
the first day of scheduled classes, have elapsed.
(2) A tuition liability schedule for any term
other than those listed in the schedule above shall be determined by the chief
administrative officer of each unit of State University subject to the approval
of the chancellor of State University.
(b)
Exceptions.
(1) There shall be no tuition or fee
liability established for a student who withdraws to enter military service
prior to the end of an academic term for those courses in which he does not
receive academic credit.
(2) A
student who is dismissed for academic or disciplinary reasons prior to the end
of an academic term shall be liable for all tuition and fees due for that
term.
(3) A student who cancels his
registration at a unit of the State University and within the same term
registers at another unit of the State University, shall be entitled to full
credit for tuition and fees paid for that term.
(4) Tuition and fees collected in error, or
in amounts in excess of the required amounts may be refunded. The request for
refund shall include the reason for and the amount of the refund.
(5) A student who is receiving Veteran
Administration benefits under Public Law 550(82nd Congress-Act of
July 16, 1952) and is enrolled in a nonaccredited program may not be charged on
withdrawal in excess of the approximate prorated portion of the total charges
that the length of the completed portion of the program bears to its total
length and shall be entitled to a refund of any amount paid in excess
thereof.
(6) Notwithstanding any
other provisions for refund, when a student has withdrawn through circumstances
beyond the student's control, under conditions in which the denial of refund
would cause undue hardship, the chief administrative officer of the unit may,
in his or her discretion, determine that no liability for tuition has been
incurred by the student, provided the student has not completed more than one
half of the term, has not received or will not receive academic credit for the
term, and that the request for refund is made within one year after the end of
the term in question. Such action, including the reason therefor, shall be in
writing.
(c) Military
personnel withdrawing from any program or term because of changes of assignment
beyond their control and upon proper certification of such change from a base
education service officer or other appropriate military official shall be
deemed to have incurred no liability for tuition and fees due from the student,
as opposed to tuition and fees paid by the Federal government on the student's
behalf.
