Nonpayment drop, class drop, and withdrawal refunds
Fees subject to a fee reassessment include tuition, non-resident tuition, student activity fee, student health fee, recreation center free and any related miscellaneous fees which may have been assessed.
- Students who have registered for courses, made payment for fees and who subsequently cancel their registration before the first day of classes are eligible for a full fee reassessment.
- Students whose course has been cancelled by the department will receive a 100% fee reassessment of class fees for that course.
- Students who are dropped for nonpayment, withdraw from the University, or reduce their course load after classes have begun are subject to the appropriate fee reassessment.
Conditions to Receive a Refund
If courses have not been paid in full or if you have a balance owed to cashiers for other items, any credit you receive from dropping classes is applied to your student account balance first, before a refund check is issued. Refunds due to withdrawal from the University are subject to various conditions. For more information, please contact the Cashiers Office at (573)882-3097. Deductions may be made from the refund amount for any other financial obligations owed to the University of Missouri.
No refund shall exceed the amount of fees paid.
Refunds based on credit card payments, when your last method of payment was via credit card, will be electronically refunded back to the credit card up to the amount of that credit card payment.
Students reducing hours or withdrawing from school who have received financial aid should check with the Financial Aid Office to see how your actions will affect your aid award.
Students who withdraw from a study abroad program will be refunded only those costs that can be recovered by MU or the MU Partner Program. Refunds in cases of cancellation of a study abroad program or in cases of a student’s dismissal from or inability to participate in or complete a study abroad program will be subject to limitations stated in the conditions of participation for the program.
Appeals
A student who drops or withdraws and believes a greater refund should be authorized than provided for in the established schedule may fill out a Refund Appeal Form in the Office of University Registrar. A decision will be made by the Assistant Registrar within 10 days of receipt of the appeal. A final appeal can be made to the University Registrar-MU within twenty (20) days of the receipt of the decision. In exceptional cases, such as the death of a student, a 100% fee reassessment may be authorized at any time during the semester.
