Refund InformationTuition and Fees Refund PolicyA student enrolled at Sam Houston State University may receive a refund of tuition and fees as a result of dropping courses or resigning from the University as indicated in the following schedules. Refunds and credits from one department will be applied to any other outstanding balances in other departments. Any remaining refund will be credited to the Bearkat OneCard or mailed to the permanent address on the student record when the refund is processed. The University may refund tuition and fees paid by a sponsor, donor or scholarship to the source rather than directly to the student who has withdrawn if the funds were made available to the University. Refund policies were established by Senate Bill No. 604 of the 65th Legislature and adopted by the Board of Regents, Texas State University System, in August of 1977 and by the applicable federal regulations dealing with first semester financial aid students. Dropping Courses (see following NOTE)A student who drops one or more courses for any given semester/summer session, but remains enrolled in at least one course may be eligible for refunds. The refund schedule for dropping courses follows.
Note: Class days are University class days, not the number of days an individual class meets. Class days are to be counted from the first class meeting of on-campus daytime courses as indicated in the Academic Calendar. Resignations/Withdrawals (see following NOTE)A student who resigns/withdraws from all of his/her courses for a given semester/summer session may be eligible for a refund of tuition and the specified fees, based upon the courses in which the student is enrolled on the official date of withdrawal.

Tuition Rebates for Certain Undergraduate Students
A tuition rebate program was created by Senate Bill 1907, 75th Texas Legislature, and is authorized by Section 54.0065 of the Texas Education Code.
The purpose of this program is to provide tuition rebates that will provide a financial incentive for students to prepare for university studies while completing their high school work, avail themselves of academic counseling, make early career decisions, and complete their baccalaureate studies with as few extraneous courses as possible. Minimizing the number of courses taken by students results in financial savings to students, parents, and the state.
Students are required to apply for the rebate during the semester in which the student plans to graduate or within 60 days of the date of graduation. Applications are available on the web or in the Registrar’s Office, Estill Classroom Building, 2nd floor. For further details regarding eligibility, please visit https://www.shsu.edu/~reg_www/.
