Refund Policy for Charges

Refunds for charges in the 15-week term, including tuition and fees, are issued according to a specific schedule based on the date of the student's withdrawal. A 100% refund is granted if the withdrawal occurs by the seventh day of the semester. A 75% refund is available from the eighth through the fourteenth day. A 50% refund is granted from the fifteenth through the twenty-first day, and a 25% refund applies from the twenty-second through the twenty-eighth day. No refunds are issued after the twenty-eighth day of the semester.

TCU offers multiple sessions each semester, which may or may not align with the 15-week term. For a comprehensive list of terms and their refund schedules, visit https://registrar.tcu.edu/calendars.php for detailed information by term.

It is essential to recognize that simply failing to attend classes or notifying a professor does not constitute an official withdrawal from the semester. Students must email regnotattending@tcu.edu with their name, ID number, and the date of their last attendance. The withdrawal deadline is listed in the Academic Calendar.

Students who switch from one class to another during the same session will receive a 100% refund for the dropped class. Enrollment cancellation occurs for students who have not attended classes at TCU or have outstanding overdue balances due to non-payment.

Students wishing to cancel classes or withdraw must contact the registrar’s office directly at regnotattending@tcu.edu. Financial aid may be adjusted or reversed following federal regulations after a drop or withdrawal from classes. Students will receive a full refund of all charges if classes are dropped before the first day of classes. Room and board will be refunded at a full rate from the first day of class through the twelfth day of class. From the thirteenth day until the end of the semester, refunds will be prorated based on the number of days the student has resided in the dormitory or utilized the meal plan.

Students or parents who believe they have exceptional circumstances that warrant an exception to this refund policy may submit a written appeal to the Dean of Students. The appeal to the dean concerns tuition, fees, room, and board.
