Fall Refund Dates & Policy

Fall 2024 Refund Policy

A full or partial refund may be given if you choose not to complete the fall session. To qualify, you must officially withdraw online through Self Service. Notification to the instructor does not constitute a proper withdrawal. If you fail to officially drop online, you will be financially responsible for all term charges. Please note that during the change of schedule period, students are allowed to adjust their schedules and receive a 100% refund of tuition and fees. The following dates only apply to full withdrawal from the university.

To drop online:

You must drop courses by the end of the change of schedule period for the class session in order to receive a 100 percent refund of tuition and fees. If you choose to drop after the change of schedule period for the class session, the last date on which you withdraw online from a class determines the percentage of the refund. All refund percentages are based on the official start of the class session. Please see below for refund method.

Refund Method

Any unpaid charges on a student’s financial account with Towson University will be subtracted from the refund amount 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 your credit card monthly statement. For payments made by any method other than credit card, refunds will be issued by check. For each class session, refunds will be processed after the term's change of schedule period. However, students may ask for the refund process to be initiated prior to this by contacting the Student & University Billing Office. If a student receives 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.

Questions regarding refunds should be referred to the Student & University Billing Office in Enrollment Services room 336, 410-704-2100, toll free 1-888-528-7727. You can also access information about exceptions to our refund policy.
