Amend Refund Policy for Student Tuition, Fees, Room, and Board

(13) In May of 1993, the Board of Trustees approved an interim pro-rata refund policy for students attending the University for the first time and receiving Federal financial assistance under Title IV programs. This interim measure conformed to a provision mandated by Congress in the Higher Education Reauthorization Act of 1992. For other students, the University refund policy remained unchanged: a full refund of tuition and 50 percent of student fees, minus a nonrefundable charge, is provided for students who withdraw during the first ten days of instruction; no refunds are made thereafter. Since that time, regulations to clarify certain aspects of the law have been published by the Department of Education. In addition, the administration has reviewed the implications of a University-wide committee's recommendation to apply the Title IV pro-rata refund policy to all University students. It is recommended, that effective with the Fall 1995 term, the University's interim pro-rata refund policy be extended to all students. The policy provides for a pro-rata refund of the tuition, fees1 (excluding the health and insurance fees), room and board, and other charges assessed to a student who withdraws on or before 60 percent of the enrollment period has elapsed (for the University of Illinois, this would be after completing the tenth week of the sixteen-week semester). The University would assess the student an administrative fee equal to five (5) percent of the amount assessed the student or $100, whichever is less. Before a refund is made to the student, the University must make a refund to appropriate financial aid programs providing assistance to the student. Any amount remaining will be paid to the student.
