TEC 51.907 Course Withdrawal Limit for Undergraduate Students
Complete Withdrawal
Refunds of tuition and mandatory fees shall be made to the students withdrawing completely from the institution during a semester according to the following schedule. The percent refunded is based upon the full payment of all tuition and fees. If full payment has not been made, it is possible that a balance may be due. Not all fees are refundable beyond the first day of the term.
Military Tuition Assistance Complete Withdrawal
Military Tuition Assistance is awarded to Service Members contingent upon completion of the semester/payment period. Military Tuition Assistance recipients who withdraw prior to completing 60% of the semester/payment period will have unearned aid that, by law, must be returned to the Federal Government by the University. Funds returned by the University to the Federal Government must be repaid to the University by the Service Member. A charge will appear on the Service Member’s account until the balance has been paid in full. If 60% of the semester/payment period has been completed prior to withdrawing, 100% of the Military Tuition Assistance will have been earned and the award will remain in place. To view the Military Tuition Assistance policy please visit https://inside.uth.edu/finance/bursars/student/return-of-unearned-tuition-assistance
All applicable refund rules will apply and refunds of tuition/fees will be sent to the Service Member prior to the return of unearned aid by the University to the Federal Government.
Financial Aid Complete Withdrawal
Financial Aid is awarded to students contingent upon completion of the semester/payment period. Federal financial aid recipients who withdraw prior to completing 60% of the semester/payment period will have unearned aid that, by law, must be returned to the Federal Government by the University. Funds returned by the University to the Federal Government must be repaid to the University by the student. A charge will appear on the student’s account until the balance has been paid in full. If 60% of the semester/payment period has been completed prior to withdrawing, 100% of the federal aid will have been earned and the financial aid disbursement will remain in place.

All applicable refund rules will apply and refunds of tuition/fees will be sent to the student prior to the return of unearned aid by the University to the Federal Government.
Unofficial Withdrawal
An Unofficial Withdrawal is one where the institution has not received notice from the student that the student has ceased or will cease attending the university. Students who earn unsatisfactory grades (i.e. F’s) and/or a combination of unsatisfactory grades, withdrawals (i.e. W’s, WF’s), and incomplete grades (I’s) on all courses for the term may be categorized as an unofficial withdrawal. The Registrar’s Office will investigate to determine whether or not the student earned the failing/incomplete grade or whether the grade was given due to non-attendance. The university will determine the last date of attendance at an academically related activity and use that date as the withdrawal date. If the last date of attendance at an academically related activity cannot be determined, the mid-point of the term will be used as the official withdrawal date.
All applicable refund rules will apply once the official withdrawal date has been determined.
