General Information

The official academic withdrawal must be completed in writing on the appropriate form available in the office of the dean or director of the college in which the student is registered. The official date of withdrawal will be the date on which written notice of withdrawal is received by the office of the dean or director.

Refunds will be first applied to any financial aid received by the student and then to the indebtedness he/she has with the University. Refund schedules are published in the Schedule of Classes each term. Refund information is also available in the Student Accounting Office, Registrar’s Office and from the Scholarship and Financial Aid Office.

Residence Halls Cancellation Policy
The Residence Hall application is a binding agreement with the Office of Residence Life and the University of Detroit Mercy for the academic year consisting of fall and spring terms. Cancellations from the housing agreement will not be accepted after June 1 unless the student is withdrawing from the University for the academic year. All cancellations must be received in writing or via email. Cancellations during the academic year are subject to a $350 cancellation fee, which may be waived for the following reasons: graduation, withdraw from the University, marriage, medical reasons as verified by the University, co-op or study abroad, financial.

In the event of approved withdrawal from the University residence hall system, refunds are subject to a pro-rated assessment for the period of residence. The effective termination date will be the day upon which all of the following have been accomplished:

• The student has canceled in writing.
• The student has removed all belongings from the room.
• Appropriate check out forms have been completed.
• Room and building keys and key tags have been surrendered to the Office of Residence Life.

Meal Plan Refunds

Late Payment Fee
Students who do not pay their tuition and fees or arrange for payment of fees by the first day of class will be assessed a late payment fee.

Late Registration Fee
Students who register for class after the last day for registration may be charged a $100 late registration fee. Students are encouraged to register early to avoid this fee.

Deferred Payment Fee
Students who carry a semester balance more than half way through the term are subject to a deferred payment fee.

Service Charge
A service charge of 1.5 percent of the outstanding balance is assessed monthly beginning the last month of the term until the debt is paid in full.

Collection Activity Timetables
Should a student not return to classes the following term, a collection notice is sent (approximately the second month of the new term) advising the student that an outstanding tuition account balance is due to the University.
