Tuition fees will be refunded in full in the circumstances
noted below:
Approved withdrawal from the university before the
end of drop/add with written documentation from the student.
Credit hours dropped during drop/add (does not require
filing a petition).
Courses cancelled by the university.
Involuntary call to active military duty.
Death of the student or member of the immediate family
(parent, spouse, child, sibling).
Illness of the student of such severity or duration,
as confirmed in writing by a physician, that completion of the semester is precluded.
Exceptional circumstances, upon approval of the university
president or his designee(s).
To be eligible for a refund of tuition, a student
needs to file a petition with the Office of the University Registrar at 222 Criser
Hall, (352) 392-1374. Upon approval of the petition, University Financial
Services will process the refund. A waiting period will be required. Refunds will
be applied against any university debts. The refund check or credit card refund
notice will be mailed to the student’s address on file with the Office of the University
Registrar.
Tuition refunds due to cancellation, withdrawal or
termination of attendance for students receiving financial aid will first be refunded
to the appropriate financial aid programs. If you are a recipient of federal financial
aid (Pell Grant, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), Perkins Loan,
Federal Direct Stafford Loans or PLUS loans), federal rules require that any unearned
portion of your federal aid must be returned to the U.S. Department of Education.
The amount you have earned is based on the number of days you have attended classes
as compared to the number of days in the entire term (first day of classes to the
end of finals week). Any remaining refund will then be returned to the student.
A refund of 25 percent of the total fees paid (less
late fees) is available if notice of withdrawal from the university with written
documentation is received from the student and approved prior to the end of the
fourth week of classes for full semesters or a proportionately shorter period of
time for the summer terms.
If you have questions concerning your eligibility
for this refund, contact the Office of the University Registrar, (352) 392-1374.
Payments in excess of assessed fees or other amounts
paid the university will be accepted and processed, but the excess will be refunded
to the student at a later date, according to university policy. The refund check
or credit card refund notice will be mailed to the student’s address on file with
the Office of the University Registrar.
