Requests for refunds of tuition and course charges for both credit and non-credit courses will be considered only if the student completes official withdrawal procedures. Students seeking refunds must file a Change of Registration form or write a letter of request to withdraw to the Registrar's Office at UNH Manchester. The official withdrawal date (the date the Change of Registration is received by the Registrar's Office) is the basis for any financial adjustments.

Full-time undergraduate degree students who reduce their course load to part-time status (11 credits or fewer) and part-time undergraduate students (degree and non-degree) will receive a refund of tuition in accordance with the schedule below. See the semester bulletin for exact dates.

• a 100% refund if the student withdraws on or before to the first day of the semester;
• a 75% refund if the student withdraws after the first day of the semester and on or before the second Friday of the semester;
• a 50% refund if the student withdraws after the second Friday and on or before the fifth Friday of the semester;
• No refunds will be authorized after the fifth Friday of classes.
• Courses that do not conform to the academic semester calendar (including Summer Session and January terms) have a refund schedule different from that indicated above. Check with the Registrar's Office for specific dates.
• No refunds will be authorized for a one weekend, one week, or two-week course once the course has begun.
• Students registered for credit who change their status to audit are not eligible for a refund.
• Registration fees are not refundable. Lab and materials fees are not refundable after the start of the session in which the course is scheduled.

Exceptions

Students may petition to the College's Financial Appeals Committee for an exception to the refund policy. Petitions are approved only in cases of unforeseen compelling non-academic events. Petitions are available at the Registrar's Office, Academic Counseling Office, and online. Written petitions should be supported with documentation and forwarded to the Academic Counseling Office for referral to the Financial Appeals Committee. Decisions of the Financial Appeals Committee may be reviewed by the College Dean upon student request.

Alternate refund schedules may apply to students receiving Title IV financial assistance. Students receiving financial aid must consult with the Financial Aid Office prior to withdrawing from courses.
