Refunds in the Event of Death. If a student dies and a refund of tuition, fees, room and board, deposits, or other monies is due the estate of the deceased student, the university will presume that the person most recently indicated by the student as next-of-kin on official university records is to be the recipient of all refunds. The university will, as soon as practicable after the death of the student, pay all refunds due to the designated next-of-kin unless the student has specifically designated in writing to the Registrar the name and address of another person to be the recipient of such refunds.
Student's Financial Obligations. Students are expected to meet financial obligations to the university within the designated time allowed. Registration fees are payable before classes begin. Students are not entitled to enter class, or laboratory, until their fees and deposits have been paid. Failure to pay the amount owed in the allotted time, or payments made with checks that are returned to SWT\ unpaid by the bank, may result in any or all of the following: (1) dismissal from the university, (2) withholding of future registration privileges, (3) withholding the issuance of grades or of an official certified transcript, (4) withholding the conferring of a degree, (5) invalidation of meal card, (There will not be any refund for meals missed during the time the ID is invalidated), (6) bar against re-admission for the student.
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 the amount paid. This means that students who withdraw before paying all installments may, in the event of withdrawal, receive a bill with a balance due rather than a refund.
Fees for Summer Offerings Other Than the Traditional Six-Week Terms. The tuition and fees credit hour rate for any course of less than six-weeks duration will be the same as the tuition and fees credit hour rate for the traditional six-week term. The tuition and fees credit hour rate for any term of more than six-weeks duration will be the same as the tuition and fees credit hour rate for a regular semester of the school year.
Tuition Limit in Cases of Concurrent Enrollment. Students enrolled at two state colleges or universities during the same semester may be eligible for reduced tuition charges at the second institution. Students must register at the institution with the lowest tuition rate first. Students must supply the original student copy of the paid receipt showing number of hours and amount paid for tuition at the first institution before paying fees at the second institution. University policy does not allow for refunds, as the law specifies that concurrent enrollment adjustment be made at the time of registration.
