Refund Policy

Registration in the University is considered a contract binding the student for charges for the entire academic period. However, a student finding it necessary to withdraw from UMHB may secure an official withdrawal through the Registrar’s Office. This official withdrawal must be accomplished before any consideration can be given by the Business Office to granting refunds.

A student who must drop a course because of excessive absences, poor work, or similar causes, who withdraws without notice, or who is expelled or asked to withdraw is not entitled to a refund. Failure to attend class or simply notifying an individual instructor will not be regarded as an official withdrawal.
