It is the responsibility of the student to be informed of and to observe all regulations and procedures regarding the payment of fees and the entitlement to refunds.

Questions regarding the amount and payment of fees and refunds should be directed to the Business Office. Questions concerning eligibility for refunds should be addressed to the Registrar's Office. Verbal misinformation is not grounds for waiver of a regulation.
