Fee Refund Policy
NOTE:
This refund policy complies with the mandated changes in Title V,
Section 41802, of the California Code of Regulations, and supersedes
any other published fee refund explanations to the contrary.
  How refunds are calculated:
- To
qualify for a full refund of mandatory campus fees, and nonresident
tuition if applicable, all courses must be dropped
through the online registration process PRIOR to the first day of the academic term.
-
Resident students who drop some but not all units on or before the last day of the drop period, changing their enrollment
status from over half-time units to half-time units or less, will
be entitled to a refund of the resulting reduction in the State
University fee plus half of any college based portion of the campus
academic fee. For fall, winter, and spring terms, half-time units
is 6 units. In the summer, half-time units is 8 units.
- Nonresident
students who drop some but not all units on or before
the last day to drop will be entitled to a refund of the applicable
difference in tuition. If the dropped units changes enrollment
status from over half-time units to half-time units or less, nonresident
students will also be entitled to a refund of the resulting reduction
in the State University fee plus half of any college-based portion
of the campus academic fee. For fall, winter, and spring terms,
half-time units is 6 units. In the summer, half-time units is
8 units.
-
For terms 4 weeks or longer, beginning with the
first day of the academic term, students who drop all courses
prior to the end of the drop period or who officially withdraw
no later than the sixty percent point in the academic term shall
be entitled to a pro-rata refund of mandatory campus fees, and
nonresident tuition if applicable. The length of the academic
period is calculated from the first day of the academic term through
the last final exam day of the term, including weekends but excluding
any breaks of five (5) days or more.
-
For
terms or courses of less than four (4) weeks, a student
registered for a term or course of less than four (4) weeks shall
not be entitled to any refund of tuition and mandatory fees if
the student fails to either drop the courses or cancel registration
prior to the first day of instruction.
How often refunds are calculated:
-
Registration fee refunds, and tuition refunds if applicable, resulting from a full drop BEFORE
the term begins or from a partial drop in units during the drop
period are credited to the student’s Cal Poly account within
5 days.
- Pro-rated
registration fee refunds, and tuition refunds if applicable, resulting from a full
drop on or after the first day of the term are credited
to the student’s Cal Poly account within 7business days
after the end of the drop period. Registration fee refunds, and tuition
refunds if applicable, resulting from a withdrawal are credited
to the student’s Cal Poly account within 5 business days
after the Records Office posts the withdrawal date.
How refunds are disbursed:
-
Once a refund of registration fees, and non-resident tuition if
applicable, is credited to the student’s account, it is
treated in the following manner:
- A
refund shall be first applied toward any required return of
student financial aid funds that have been received by the
student or on his/her behalf from federal, state, institutional,
or external sources that were conditioned on the student’s
enrollment.
-
The student concurs that the balance of any refund shall remain
as a credit on the student’s account. The student may
request a disbursement of the refund by applying at the Student Accounts Office,
Administration 211, or downloading, completing and submitting
the STUDENT INFORMATION section of the Refund
Request Form. A processing fee of $5.00 will be deducted
from the refund amount.
