Once the University has accepted payment for tuition and fees, a student is considered officially enrolled unless otherwise restricted from enrolling.
Official law school withdrawals are processed through the office of the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs. Failure to follow procedures for withdrawing from the law school may result in financial penalties and delays with future enrollment in the University. Stopping payment on a check for fees or allowing the check to be returned unpaid by the bank for any reason does not constitute an official withdrawal. Once a student registers, he or she is responsible for the total fees assessed regardless of whether the installment option is used. Refund percentages are applied to total fees assessed and not amount paid. This means that students who withdraw before paying all installments may, in the event of withdrawal, still owe the University.
Contact the International Student Services Office at 979.845.1824 or iss@tamu.edu before withdrawing to determine if doing so will affect their visa status.
Withdrawal Policies and Financial Implications:
Students with Scholarships and Financial Aid must understand University withdrawal policies aligned with Federal regulations. Tuition, fees, and optional charges determine refunds and potential grant/loan repayments.
Refunds for Title IV and State Aid Recipients:
Federal rules necessitate pro-rata refund calculations for new students receiving Title IV and certain State aid who withdraw within a payment period (semester). Refund calculation span may extend up to 60% of the payment period.
Holding Credit Balances and Account Closure:
Following an official university withdrawal, any credit balance on student accounts remains held for 30 days. This allows for comprehensive charge and fine assessment from various departments before processing refunds.
