Fall 2008 Refund Dates for Second 7-Week Session

Any unpaid charges on a student’s financial account with the university will be subtracted from any refund prior to processing a refund request.  For payments made by credit card, refunds will be credited to the original credit card account and will be reflected on the credit card monthly statement.  Credit card payments made for term charges are refunded using the following practice.  For each term, credit card refunds will be processed after the term Drop/Add period.  However, students may ask for a credit card refund prior to this period by contacting the Bursar’s Office.  If a student requests a refund of amounts charged to a credit card, the credit card owners are responsible for paying any and all interest charges accrued on the credit card.  All questions regarding tuition and fees should be referred to the Bursar’s Office, Enrollment Services Center, Room 336, 410-704-2100, or call toll free 1-888-5BURSAR.

If dropping all classes on the Web, the last course drop date will be your official withdrawal date on your academic record. Or, you may contact Registrar’s Office, Enrollment Service Center, Rm 223. The official withdrawal notification form is located on http://onestop.towson.edu/ in PDF format.
