FEE POLICY ON DROP/ADDS

Students must make the initial fee payment for courses by fee payment deadlines, but drop/add transactions within the first fifteen instructional days will determine enrollment status. Registration fee adjustments will be made on the basis of enrollment status as of the 15th instructional day, February 13 , 2009. Payments are due in full by February 17, 2009.

Students receiving financial aid and dropping from full-time (12 credits) to part-time (less than 12 credits) after finalizing will have their financial aid reduced and will owe a repayment to the University.  

Refunds for classes dropped within the first 15 instructional days will be mailed to students approximately the fourth week of the semester.  Mailing address must be kept current by completing an address change on http://www.umt.edu/Cyber.

Drops after the 15th day will not result in reduced fees and may cause a student to be placed on financial aid probation or suspension. Additional tuition and fees for added courses after a student finalizes their original registration bill are due in full by February 17, 2009.

WITHDRAWAL (DROPPING ALL COURSES)

  • Students who withdraw from the University while a semester is in progress must complete withdrawal forms, which may be obtained from the Registration Counter in Griz Central or the Registrar's Office at The College of Technology.  Grades of W (withdrawal) are assigned.
  • Drop/add forms cannot be used to withdraw from school.
  • International students must first contact the Foreign Student Advisor before withdrawing, as visa status will be affected.
  • Students with a documented, significant medical reason must contact the Curry Health Center at 243-2122 to request a medical withdrawal.  A refund for textbooks at the UC Bookstore will be given only for a medical withdrawal.
  • Students who have paid or finalized and then withdraw during the first three weeks of the semester will receive prorated assessment of tuition and fees based on the following schedule.
    • Prior to first day of class = 100%
    • First week of class = 90%
    • Second week of class = 75%
    • Third week of class = 50%
    • Fees are not refunded after the fifteenth class day of the semester.
  • Students using the deferred payment plan will have their withdrawal credit applied to their student account, but may still owe some or all of the deferred balance.  All existing debts such as deferred payment plan balance, library charges, health service coverage, etc. may be deducted from any refund due to the student.  For further information relating to withdrawals, contact Business Services at Griz Central.

If you have received financial aid or are on the Deferred Payment Plan, please call (406) 243-2464, if you are considering withdrawing from all your courses.

Students using the continuous deferred payment plan will have their withdrawal credit applied to their student account, but may still owe some or all of the deferred balance.

  • Federal regulations require students to earn their aid using a pro-rata formula.  A student will have to repay federal aid, including money that was received for living expenses, if the withdrawal date occurs prior to 60% of the term (about 9 full weeks). The following may happen:
    1. UM will be required to return funds to the federal government,
    2. The student will owe The University of Montana for any aid received but not earned, and
    3. be required to make federal repayments.
  • Non-federal funds may have to be returned by the school when a student withdraws and a student may owe the University for these additional charges.
  • Students receiving financial aid who withdraw will not receive aid the next term of enrollment unless the student completes a Reinstatement of Financial Aid form and it is approved by the Financial Aid Office. This form is available at the Griz Central or College of Technology Financial Aid Office.
  • Students who purchase health insurance will receive a refund and lose coverage if withdrawn during the first fifteen instructional days (excluding approved medical withdrawals).  Withdrawal after the fifteenth day will not result in a refund.  Insurance coverage will continue through the remainder of the semester.
  • When withdrawal forms are completed in Griz Central or the College of Technology Registrar's Office before the last two weeks of the term, grades of W (Withdrawal) are assigned.  Beginning two weeks from the end of the term, students may not withdraw from the University except for unusual circumstances.  Such late withdrawals are to be approved by the student's academic dean before the end of the semester.  However, in exceptional cases, a student's academic dean may approve retroactive withdrawal for the last semester in attendance, provided the request is approved before the end of the student's next semester of enrollment.
