Refund of Tuition and Fees

On-Campus Classes

MnSCU regulations stipulate students are responsible for paying tuition and fees for those courses and credits for which they are enrolled at 11:59 p.m. on the sixth day of the semester. To receive a refund for the dropped portion of their class schedule, students must drop classes no later than the fifth day of the semester. After the fifth day of the semester, unless students' class schedules are reduced by the university, no refund will be issued for dropped courses.

The following refund schedule applies to total withdrawal from classes:

Students who receive financial aid will have aid adjusted based on how long they attended classes. Grants and loans are affected.

Evening and Extension Classes

If a student is registered only for evening classes and drops one of those courses before its second class meeting, he/she will receive a full (100 percent) refund of tuition and fees for that course. MnSCU Board regulations state that if there is notification of total withdrawal from classes prior to the second class meeting, 100 percent will be refunded; prior to the third class meeting, 75 percent; prior to the fourth class meeting, 50 percent; prior to the fifth class meeting, 25 percent and thereafter no refund will be given. If a student must withdraw, he/she should immediately contact the Office of Records and Registration, St. Cloud State University, 720 Fourth Avenue South, St. Cloud, Minnesota 56301-4498. Phone: (320) 308-2111.

Short Courses

No refunds will be made for short courses (duration of less than five weeks of a semester or less than two and one-half of a summer session) after the course has begun.

Amounts of One Dollar or Less

Amounts of one dollar or less will not be refunded.

Appeal Procedure

An appeal procedure has been established for those students whose request for a refund of tuition and fees has been denied. Students wishing to appeal should submit a written request to Academic Affairs, AS 209.

Identification Card and Fee Statement

After payment of fees, each student must carry at all times a campus ID card. This is needed for identification, library use, proof of completed registration and admission to university events.

Financial Obligations

The student must discharge all financial and other obligations to the university. Students who have financial obligations to the university will not be permitted to register, receive grade reports, or receive official transcripts until such obligations are satisfactorily discharged.
