Activity fees are non-refundable once the term begins. Tuition charges for courses fromwhich a student has withdrawn will be removed from the student account according to the refund schedule posted athttp://washburnlaw.edu/tuitionrefundsHaving tuition charges removed from the student account does not necessarily mean there will be a refund. In fact, ifwithdrawal from one or more classes results in having financial aid removed as well, the student may owe a balance. Studentsconsidering withdrawing from one or more classes need to be sure that the financial implications are clearly understoodbefore withdrawing.If a student withdraws from one or more classes in which he/she has enrolled, it may be necessary to return all or a portion of theTitle IV financial aid (Pell, SEOG, and loans) received for the term as required by Federal regulations. This means that if thestudent was refunded excess financial aid, he/she will have to repay Washburn University for the amount of aid that has beenreturned.Please note that the Student Activity Fee (not applicable for summer courses) is only refundable up to the first day of the term andis non-refundable once the term begins, even if the student withdraws from all classes. Refunds and/or charges due to a studentleaving campus housing are governed by the terms of the housing contract.REFUNDSIf a student account has a credit balance, a refund will be generated, except in the case of non-refundable payments, such as from athird party. The preferred method of refunding excess financial aid to the student is via direct deposit to a checking or savingsaccount, (which the student sets up in WU-View, Electronic Refunds). Parents will receive refunds from Parent PLUS loans in theform of a check sent by mail only.Students who do not have direct deposit may pick up a check. Specific dates, times and places for that process are posted on MyWashburn and on the Business Office Web page (washburn.edu/business-office). Students may also request that a check bemailed. Students can update their mailing address through their My Washburn account. PLEASE make sure that your addressinformation is correct. Checks not picked up after 7-10 business days are mailed to a student’s current address if one is available.DELINQUENT PAYMENTSUnpaid balances are subject to the imposition of late charges and may incur collection fees should we need to use a collectionagency to recover the balance.
