All Other Undergraduate and Graduate Students--all continuing and readmitted students and all new students who do not receive federal financial aid

Beginning with the first day of instruction, Schedule B of the Schedule of Refunds is applied to the total of fees assessed.

2) All new undergraduate students who do not receive federal financial aid. The $100 Acceptance of Admission Fee is withheld from the University Registration Fee, and Schedule B of the Schedule of Refunds is applied to the balance of fees assessed.

See Sections 3. and 4. for descriptions of applicable deposits.

If no credit for courses is given, a full refund of the University Registration Fee for the regular session will be granted to all students entering the armed forces prior to the end of the sixth week of the quarter or semester. Chancellors are authorized to make exceptions to the refund policy if there are extenuating circumstances and they may authorize complete refunds of fees for students called up to active military service regardless of the date of their withdrawal from the University.

Schedules A and B apply to students enrolled in academic programs based on standard periods of instruction. Campuses should construct refund schedules for periods of instruction other than quarters or semesters using Schedule X and Y of the Schedule of Refunds provided in the University's Planning and Budget Manual.
