Complete Withdraw from USF

From a Student Accounts perspective, withdrawing from all classes has a definite impact on a student bill.  Standard refund percentages for tuition and the student fee, for the fall and spring semesters, are as follows:
·         100% through the first full week of school

·         90% through the second full week

·         50% through the third full week
   
·         0% after the third full week. 

Most students are aware of the refund percentage applicable to their tuition and fees, but the accompanying Financial Aid implications should be of concern as well.  Standard refund percentages are superseded by Federal Funds regulations if a student receives Federal student assistance.

Students receiving Federal aid will, in most cases, have to return a portion of their aid.   The amount that must be returned, pro-rated by duration of enrollment, is computed by the Financial Aid Office.  It is important to consult with the Financial Aid Office and the Student Accounts Office prior to withdrawing from all classes.

Students are not dropped from classes simply by discontinuing attendance.   If you wish to withdraw from all classes, contact the Academic Advising and Retention Office at (605) 331-6743.  Students are required to complete a Withdrawal Form signed by the offices of Admissions, Financial Aid, Student Development, and Student Accounts.  This form is available in the Academic Advising and Retention Office.

The Student Accounts Office will verify that all charges have been paid and review registration and transcript holds.   Students should expect to pay their total balance due on the day they officially withdraw from school.
