Refund Schedule

Refunds and Refund Policies

E-Refunds are the safe and easy way to receive your Student Account refund directly into the bank account of your choosing. If you are not enrolled in e-Refunds, your student account refund will be issued as a paper check. Eagle Landing residents may pick up refund checks at the front desk. All other refund checks are available for pickup at your UMW post office box.

Refunds for dropping a course or withdrawing from the University are based on the official date of drop or withdrawal, not on the date of last attendance. Failure to attend a class does not constitute dropping or withdrawing from it. Courses can be dropped online; however, if you intend to drop all of your classes, this is considered a withdrawal. You will need to contact the Registrar’s Office to complete the necessary paperwork. For additional information, please see the Registrar’s Withdrawal and Cancellation procedures.

Refunds are prorated depending on the date of drop or withdrawal. Please consult the refund schedule below to determine your refund eligibility.

International Student Refunds

Refunds for currently enrolled international students are only issued in US currency. Students who have returned to their home country and are no longer attending the University may request their refund via wire transfer. Wire transfers are subject to a $35.00 fee per transaction, which will be deducted from the refund prior to initiating the transfer.  In addition, the wire is subject to conversion rates and fees at the time of the wire. For additional information, please contact Student Accounts at umwbills@umw.edu.
