Tuition Refund Policy

Things to know about the ASU tuition refund policy

When you register for classes, you’re obligated to pay all the tuition and registration fees. If you drop a class or officially cancel your enrollment during the 100 percent refund period, you’ll get all your money back. For specific semester or session deadlines, please refer to Tuition Dates and Deadlines. If you’re looking for information about a financial aid refund (financial aid funds left over after your tuition and charges are paid), visit the aid disbursement page.

Nonrefundable charges

After the 100 percent refund period passes, tuition and fee payments become nonrefundable.

Beginning Fall 2023, this date is the same as the drop deadline for classes offered in Sessions A, B and C

Amount of refund

If you owe any university charges, they will be deducted from your refund and be subject to payment holding periods.

Withdrawal/cancellation date

Withdrawal or cancellation officially occurs on the calendar date that you request it, whether in person or online.

Refund by semester

Please note that if you cancel your enrollment after the refund period, you will be required to pay the tuition and fees charges.

For regular semester classes (session C) and sessions that are eight weeks or longer, the 100 percent refund period extends through the first two weeks of the semester.

For sessions that are shorter than eight weeks (sessions A and B) and dynamically dated classes, the 100 percent refund period is one week after the semester begins.

For classes that begin prior to the first day of the regular semester, the applicable 100 percent refund period begins on the class start date, not the semester start date.

For the summer session classes (sessions A, B and C, and dynamically dated classes), the 100 percent refund period is the first five days of the applicable summer session.

For classes that begin prior to the first day of the regular semester (dynamically dated classes), the applicable 100 percent refund period begins on the class start date, not the semester start date.

If you cancel your enrollment after the refund period, you will be required to pay the tuition and fee charges.
