Fee Payment, Refunds & More
Schedule of Charges
The Schedule of Charges reflects tuition and fees as determined by residence
status and number of hours taken. Students should be aware that this is a
minimum figure as late registration fees, general property deposit fees,
student teaching fees, distance education fees, reinstatement fees, books,
etc., may be applicable. Tuition and fees are subject to change without
notice as necessitated by university or legislative action.

Tuition and Fee Refunds
(Section 54.006, Texas Higher Education Code)
General Information
The University is a State of Texas Institution
of Higher Education and refunds are issued in accordance with the State of
Texas Higher Education Code, Section 54.006. Refund exceptions are
considered only in documented cases of medical emergency, military duty,
natural or national emergency, and university error. Refunds will first be
applied to outstanding obligations. Loan processing fees, installment
service charges and late fees are generally not refundable unless due to
University error. Credit balances must be requested through the Web.
All refunds will be processed and mailed to the student's address of record.
Students receiving financial aid are advised to contact the Office of
Financial Aid prior to making schedule changes in enrollment status. Student
services and privileges, including library services, use of computer labs
and parking terminate when a student cancels registration or withdraws from
the University. Stopping payment on a check used to pay tuition and fees is
NOT official notice of cancellation, withdrawal or dropping of courses and
WILL NOT release the student from their financial obligation for those
courses. Students are responsible for meeting the requirements and course
prerequisites indicated before enrolling. Unmet course requirements are
insufficient grounds for a refund of tuition and fees if the drop or
withdrawal date was after the refund deadline.
The following refund schedules apply to all courses, including online
courses, regardless of the actual course start date. In determining refund
calculations, it is important to remember that the official first class day
may be different from the actual start date of a particular course.
Cancellation
If a student officially cancels registration
prior to the first official class day, as indicated in the class
schedule, 100% of tuition and mandatory fees will be refunded.
Dropped Courses
Students who officially drop a course within the
first 12 official class days of a fall or spring semester or the
first 4 official class days of a summer session will receive a 100%
refund of the tuition and fees charged for the dropped courses
provided they are still enrolled in other credit courses at UHV.
Withdrawals
The University will refund a percentage of the tuition
and required fees to students withdrawing from all classes at the
institution according to the schedules that follow. Class days, including
Saturdays during the fall and spring semesters, are counted from the first
official day of classes as indicated in the class schedule. Remaining
balances become payable immediately.

of semester credit hours required to complete the degree as defined by the
