REFUNDS:
NON-FINANCIAL AID
Effective Fall 2002, the
refund policy for CSU-San Marcos has changed to ensure compliance with the
revisions to Title 5 that have been approved and implemented in the CSU's
system-wide.
Revised Title 5 Regulations
- Refund
requests in writing are no longer required.
- Students are entitled to an automatic full refund of mandatory fees and
nonresident tuition if they drop all courses or cancel their registration
prior to the first day of instruction.
- Students who drop some but
not all units resulting in lower tuition and/or mandatory fees during the
campus designated add/drop period are entitled to automatic full refund of the
applicable difference.
-
For state supported semesters of 4 weeks or more in length, students who
drop all courses prior to the end of the add/drop period or who officially
withdraw no later than the 60% point in the academic term will be entitled to
a prorated refund of nonresident tuition and mandatory fees.
- Any refund due a student is
to be applied first toward any required return of student financial aid
funds from federal, state, institutional, or external sources. If a balance
still exists, it may be returned to the student.
- All prorated refunds will be
charged a $5.00 administrative fee, unless it is a financial aid student.
- Refunds will begin to be
processed 1 week after the add/drop period deadline of a term.
- Credit card refunds will
appear as a credit in the credit card statement 4-6 weeks after the refund
is processed by the Accounts Receivable department.
- Check, cash and money order
payments due a refund will be mailed a check to the address registered in
The Office of Admissions and Records.
-
Exceptions to the policy consist of: a) fees were assessed
in error, b) course for which fees were assessed was cancelled by the
campus, c) a delayed decision made by the campus regarding student's
eligibility for enrollment and d) compulsory military service.
