Refunds, Fall 2008

A student officially withdrawing or dropping a course during the Fall 2008 semester may receive a refund as follows:

Admission, late and lab fees are not refundable.

Refunds percentages based upon semester charges, not amounts paid. All refunds are applied toward amounts owed.

* The refund schedule above applies when courses are dropped and a tuition adjustment is necessary.

* No refunds will be made on classes of less than five weeks duration.

* Mini-semester refunds are based on class days completed.          

* In case of academic or disciplinary suspension, eligibility for refund will depend on the conditions of the suspension and will be entirely at the option of the University. 

* Special Fees are refunded in full through the 100% refund period; thereafter, fees are non-refundable.

* Recipients of financial aid grants and loans who drop credits or withdraw within the first 60% if the semester will be required to return a portion of the awarded Title IV funds.

Refunds will be applied to repayment of financial aid first. Please see the Financial Aid Coordinator prior to dropping a class or withdrawing from the university.

Reduced Tuition Rates For Senior Citizens

Senior citizens (persons aged sixty-five years or older) who are New Mexico residents, are eligible for reduced tuition, under the Senior Citizens Reduced Tuition Act. The cost will be $5.00 in tuition per semester credit, plus a $3.00 administrative fee, for a total of $8.00. There may be additional required fees such as course or lab fees.

 Fall 2008 Payment Plan

To avoid course cancellations, students must complete registration by making payment arrangements with the Business Office by the deadline indicated in the "Completion of Registration" section.  Payment arrangements are made by performing any one of the following: paying in full, paying a down payment equal to or greater than, 10% of the tuition cost, processing a financial aid deferment/receipt of Financial Aid Award; submitting a third-party billing agreement; or submitting an employee tuition remission authorization.  Payment is required on costs not covered by third-party billing agreement or tuition remission authorizations.  Employee tuition remission authorizations will not be accepted after August 14, 2008.  All accounts not paid in full by September 5, 2008, will automatically be placed on a payment plan and will incur a one-time per semester installment plan fee of $14.00.  Outstanding semester debt as of September 5, 2008 semester will be divided into four equal payments due on September 19, 2008, October 20, 2008, November 20, 2008, and December 19, 2008.
