Exception to University Policy-Tuition and Fee Assessment Petition

Tuition and fee assessment is based on the registration date of   the course and date of withdrawal from the course.   The   withdrawal dates are published on the academic calendar each semester.  If, due to extenuating or for other acceptable circumstances, the student must drop a course after the published deadline, the student must complete the “Exception to University Policy—Tuition and Fee Assessment Petition” and submit supporting documentation.

Tuition and fees are assessed according to approved tuition and fee tables. The assessment is based on the number of registered credit hours or liable hours for each student.  For example, if the student signs up for 12 credit hours, he or she is liable for paying  for 12 hours according to the tuition and fee table.

Deadlines for Filing Petition

The deadline for filing a petition is the last day of the semester of enrollment.  See exceptions on the Petition Worksheet. 

The burden of proof rests with the student to submit    documentation of circumstances that prevented the student from adhering to the University policies   and procedures. All statements in the petition MUST be documented.

Documentation:
For requests pertaining to medical circumstances, military obligations, or deaths in the immediate family, documentation must be provided to support every claim.

Please Note:
Circumstances such as failing a course, minor illnesses, work conflicts, car trouble, computer problems, marriage, pregnancy, etc., are NOT generally considered acceptable grounds for modification of the academic record.
