Students receiving financial assistance through Title IV programs may have this refund returned to the federal government in accordance with the provisions in the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended in 1998.
Fall, Spring, or Summer term of 10 weeks or longer:
Time of Withdrawing | Amount of Refund of Tuition and Returnable Fees and Charges |
---|---|
Prior to the first class day | 100% of applicable tuition and returnable fees and charges |

A student who concurrently adds and drops the same number of credit hours will neither be charged nor refunded for this add/drop.
100% of tuition and fees will be refunded for courses dropped prior to the census day of the term provided the student remains enrolled in the institution for that term and has remaining eligibility for the funds after the reduced tuition/fee costs have been factored into the student's Cost of Attendance by the Veteran Services and Financial Aid office for Title IV aid recipients. No refunds will be made for courses dropped following the census day of the term unless the student withdraws from the university. If the student withdraws from the university, the Fee Refund Schedule will be used to determine refund eligibility. Students receiving assistance through Title IV programs will have their tuition and fee allowances re-evaluated by the Veteran Services and Financial Aid office to determine the impact of the dropped course(s). Students who drop below half-time before census day, after receiving their Title IV program funds, will have their tuition/fee refund returned to the federal/state programs.
The student must follow all university procedures to officially drop a course or withdraw from school.
A student must complete a Student Clearance Form to receive a refund.
The date of receipt of the form in the Office of the University Registrar will be used to determine eligibility for refund and/or final approval of classes dropped.
Once classes begin, there will be no refunds for fitness fee, insurance fees, student I.D. cards, installment plan fees, parking or other fees specifically designated as non-refundable.
This refund policy applies to any financial aid recipient who withdraws from school.
As an institution participating in programs under Title IV of the Higher Education Act, UT Health San Antonio is required to return a portion of the Title IV financial aid a student received back to the Title IV program from where the funds were originally disbursed as a result of the student’s withdrawal from school. The portion returned is referred to as the Title IV Refund and is calculated by determining the portion of unearned aid a student has received. The types of Title IV funds included in this calculation are student loans from the William D. Ford Direct Loan Programs, Pell grants, or Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG) .
Students withdrawing from UT Health San Antonio prior to completing 60% of the semester and who have received Federal Title IV aid are required to return the unearned portion of funds received. Funds used to pay tuition and fees are returned by UT Health San Antonio to the appropriate federal fund as calculated by VSFA. This is NOT a refund of tuition and fees to the student. State law describes the amount of tuition and fees that a student is responsible for paying regardless of when they withdrew. Refer to the “Fee Refund Schedule” below for details on tuition and fee refunds for drops and withdrawals. Student who are granted a leave of absence for more than 180 days are considered withdrawn as it relates to financial aid. Funds returned due to a Title IV Refund Calculation will be returned in the order specified by the Department of Education, following the priority shown below:
Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards require a student to progress in their degree program in order to receive Title IV assistance. Withdrawals, or a leave of absence from school, may be considered a violation of this standard. Any student not meeting the standards who subsequently returns to school may need to file an appeal with the VSFA office to explain, in writing, the circumstances of the withdrawal before eligibility for federal or state aid can be reinstated. Please see the VSFA web site for full details here.
Payment of tuition and fees in installments may be an option for students. A fee of $15 is assessed for handling installment payments of tuition and fees, and a $10 late fee is assessed for each late payment.
Students in Professional-level programs (School of Dentistry D.D.S. and School of Medicine M.D.) pay tuition and fees based upon the curriculum for the academic year.

In addition, a higher tuition rate may be charged if a student enrolls again in a course that is the same or substantively identical to a course that the student previously completed.
More information on excess hours may be found under the Excess Hours Policy.
A student whose hours may no longer be submitted for formula funding because it is the same or substantially similar to a course that the student previously attempted for two or more times at UT Health San Antonio may be charged a higher tuition rate per semester credit hour or nonresident tuition rates.
Nonresidents who may qualify to pay tuition at the resident rate without regard to the length of residence in Texas include:
A non-resident student who believes he/she is qualified for one of the tuition waivers must provide documentation to the Veteran Services and Financial Aid office no later than the census date for the term in order for the application of the waiver to be considered for that term. Full details of all applicable Texas waivers can be found at www.collegeforalltexans.com under “Types of Financial Aid."
The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board prescribes certain cases in which students can be exempt from tuition and/or certain fees. It is the student’s responsibility to initiate the action of applying for an exemption and providing satisfactory evidence that all conditions required for the exemption have been met. Until such time as the exemption is granted, a student will be required to pay all tuition and fees from his or her own funds. Students may be required to meet UT Health San Antonio's Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards in order to receive an exemption/waiver.
