Fall 2008 Payment Deadlines

Students permitted to register for the Fall semester must pay tuition, fees, and all outstanding charges by the Enrollment Cancellation deadline of 5:00 p.m., August 15, 2008. Students who have set up a payment plan on LoboWeb by that deadline will also be cleared from Enrollment Cancellation.

Enrollment Cancellation Due to Lack of Financial Commitment :
Students who fail to pay their full required tuition and fee charges by the deadline date or make adequate financial arrangements with the Bursar's Office will have their registration cancelled and be removed from all classes. Students with cancelled registration who wish to be enrolled at UNM must re-register. The student will be required to make full payment, or must complete financial arrangements for all university charges, and pay a non refundable reregistration/late registration fee. Students allowed to register that have no balances need not complete financial arrangement. You will be billed for your class(es). Please review withdraw or drop deadlines in the Schedule of Classes.

If a student is removed, tuition and fees, GPSA fee, and special course fees are refunded in full.

Refund Policy

When a student drops all or part of his or her courses, tuition and fees, including special course fees, are refunded/credited based on the policies listed below. The GPSA fee is refunded/credited only if a student withdraws or their enrollment is cancelled due to Ffinancial Commitment. To receive a refund of paid tuition and fees, students must go to my.unm.edu to drop their courses. A refund check will be mailed to the student address. Refunds of payments made by credit card are usually credited back to the credit card.

Withdrawal or Drop in Hours:
Withdrawal results when a student drops all of his or her course load on or after the first day of the semester. Refunds are based on the date of the official drop or withdrawal. If a student's course load decreases, but the total course load remains within the full time range, there is no refund of the tuition and fees or GPSA fee. Although, there may be a refund of a special course fee.

Tuition and fees, including special course fees, will be refunded according to the following schedule. Graduate students must withdraw to be eligible for a refund of the GPSA fee:

Last Day to Drop Course In Order to Receive Refund/Credit

Fall 2008:

Full-Term Courses (16 weeks) - September 12, 2008

First Half-Term Courses (8 weeks) - September 5, 2008

Second Half-Term Courses (8 weeks) - October 31, 2008

Three Quarter Term Courses (12 weeks) - September 5, 2008

Cancelled Classes:
Cancelled classes result in a full refund for tuition and fees, including special course fees, unless the student had full-time status both before and after the cancellation. If a cancelled class is the student's only class for the semester, the GPSA fee is fully refundable for Graduate students.

Decrease in Credit Hours Assigned:
If the University decreases the number of credit hours assigned to a course, the student will receive a full refund unless the student had full time status both before and after the decrease.

Exception: The University Dean of Students Office may authorize a refund rate that does not coincide with the withdrawal date or drop date. Dean of Students will review appeals for Military transfers, and documented illness or death of a family member. Appropriate documentation must be included with appeal.

Financial Aid Adjustments

It is the student's responsibility to visit the Student Financial Aid Office if a delay in completion of your financial aid application delays any awards. If your awards are not sufficient to cover your current due, you will need to complete a payment plan on LoboWeb in order to avoid being removed from classes, or pay the balance of your current due by the Enrollment Cancellation deadline.

College Work Study awards will not be considered in arranging for payment.

Tuition Remission forms and Third Party authorizations must be received in the Bursar's Office by the deadline date to avoid Enrollment Cancellation. GA, TA. RA, and PA awards are now awarded and posted by the Financial Aid Office.

If you have been accepted from Enrollment Cancellation based on Financial Aid, and you decide not to attend UNM you must officially withdraw prior to the refund deadline.

Crediting Financial Assistance to a Student's Account

1. PELL Grant
2. Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG)
3. State Student Incentive Grant (SSIG)
4. Perkins Loan
5. Access Grant
6. Medical Grants and scholarships

Financial assistance awards will not be credited to a student's account until the student has registered for the required number of hours and has met all respective financial assistance program requirements. Students will receive any remaining balance after deductions of current and past due charges in a refund check or direct deposit.

Students who are eligible for and will be receiving funds from external scholarships or external lenders will not have those funds automatically credited to their accounts but must come in to the Bursar's Office to endorse their check. Refunds will be mailed or direct deposited.

Returned Checks Policy

When a check is received by the University and is returned for non payment, an aggressive effort is made to collect the amount of the check from the issuer. The University will take the actions listed below.

• A returned-check fee of $15 is charged to the issuer.
• Check, plus any associated fees, is paid in full. After the second occurrence of a returned check, the issuer's check-cashing privileges are suspended for six (6) months. After the third occurrence of a returned check, the issuer's check-cashing privileges are permanently cancelled.
• A hold is placed on all student registration, transcripts, and other University Services until the amount of the original check, plus any associated fees are paid. If the check was used to pay for charges eligible for disenrollment and is not redeemed prior to the Enrollment Cancellation deadline, the student is removed from all classes after seven (7) working days, unless full payment is made prior to that time. The student is notified immediately by letter of the impending removal.
  
• If the check was originally submitted for deposit by a UNM department, the amount of the check is charged back to the department originally credited. The Bursar's Office will initiate collection efforts.
  
• If preliminary collection procedures are unsuccessful the account is referred to the University's collection agency. Legal action may be taken to collect any returned checks.
