The Tuition Dispute process gives you an opportunity to appeal tuition and fee charges for one or more classes, or your entire schedule, based on extenuating circumstances if you were not able to drop or withdraw within established deadlines and procedures.
First, in order to appeal tuition and fees for a class or classes, or for an entire semester, you must be officially dropped from those classes or officially withdrawn from the semester. If you have not done this yet, visit Drop a Class or Withdraw from the Semester, and follow the instructions.
We cannot accept dispute requests for tuition and fee charges until your official academic record shows that you are no longer enrolled in the classes in dispute.
Important Information about this Process
Dispute Process
All information submitted is confidential.
- You must drop your class or formally withdraw from the university before submitting a tuition dispute.
- Once your classes are dropped or you have withdrawn, complete the Tuition Dispute form by the end of the semester in dispute (last day of finals).
- If the dispute is not received by the last day of finals, you waive your right to appeal.
- The process takes about three weeks, longer if documentation is missing or insufficient.
- You will be notified by email when a decision is made.
- If your request is approved, your account will be automatically adjusted accordingly.
Extenuating Circumstances
Charges That Might Remain on Your Bill
Financial Aid
Financial aid can be affected and even reversed by dropping classes or withdrawing. If you received financial aid during the disputed semester, contact the Office of Financial Aid at 303-492-5091 to determine the impact on your aid.
Student Health Insurance
Health insurance may be refunded if your dispute is approved, but that would result in no health insurance coverage for the entire semester. Contact Health and Wellness Services at 303-492-5107 if you want to stay insured or have questions.
