Costs, Fees and Refunds

Withdrawal and Drop/Add

A student must withdraw from a course within 30 days of registration to be eligible for a partial refund. If you want to withdraw or drop and/or add classes, you must do so in writing within 30 days of registration. There is a fee charged for a withdrawal and drop/add. The transfer from one course to another is considered the same as drop/add and can only be done when no assignments have been submitted or, in the case of directed study courses, no exam has been taken. Transfer of registration from one student to another is not permitted.
 
Before You Register for a course, be certain it’s what you need. If you change your mind after the registration has been processed, a withdrawal fee will be deducted.
 

Before You Drop a Course, keep in mind that once you drop a course, it cannot be reactivated. If you change your mind, you will need to register and pay the full tuition price...again!

 

Other Fees

1. Withdrawal fee: $70
2. One-time extension fee: $40
3. Change-of-course processing fee: $40

Postage

Unless an online course and the instructor accepts assignments electronically, The University of Arizona pays postage on lessons and materials sent to you via regular mail. You pay the postage for mailing lessons to the instructor and for mailing any materials back to the University. Arrangements must be made with the Outreach College to have any material sent by special delivery outside the continental U.S. Please contact the Outreach College for more information, 520-621-7724 or 800-995-8632.

 

Returned Check Charges

Checks that are returned marked “insufficient funds” will incur a $25 charge. This charge must be paid by money order, cashier’s check, bank draft or credit card. No assignments can be accepted, nor can grades be released, unless a student’s financial accounts are in order.

 

Discontinued Course Refunds

Sometimes courses are discontinued, either temporarily or permanently. Registration fees received for unavailable courses will be refunded in full or, if requested, transferred free of charge to another correspondence course with equal tuition.
