Refund of Tuition & Fees
Refund Policies (Institution and Title IV Withdrawal/ Refund Policies)
Detailed information about the impact of decreasing course load on:
- Institutional Refund Policy – All students who withdraw from TTUHSC or drop all courses during a term
- Additional considerations for students who received financial aid and withdraw from TTUHSC or drop all courses during a term
Institutional Refund Policy
Refund Policies for Tuition and Fees. Texas Education Code, Section 54.006, provides the amount of tuition and fees to be refunded to students who drop courses or withdraw from the institution. Class day count is based on the official institution calendar for the school, not the specific course dates.
Students who drop a course, but remain enrolled at the institution will be refunded at the following rate:
| Term | Class Day | % of Refund of Charges |
More than 5 weeks
but less than 10 weeks in duration | 1st class day through 4th class day
After the 4th day of class | 100%
None |
| Duration of 10 weeks or longer | 1st class day through 12th class day
After the 12th day of class | 100%
None |
Students who withdraw from the institution (zero semester credit hours) are required to pay tuition and fees according to the following schedule based on their official withdrawal date:
| Term | Class Day | % of Refund of Charges |
More than 5 weeks
but less than 10 weeks in duration | Before the 1st class day
1st, 2nd, or 3rd class day
4th, 5th, or 6th class day
7th class day or later | 100%
80%
50%

NOTE: Any refund due to a student will be after calculation of the amount of tuition and fees due at the time of withdrawal. If the student has paid less than the amount due at the time of withdrawal, the student will be required to pay the percentage due.
Students who withdraw from TTUHSC or drop all courses during a term that receive(d) financial aid
It’s important for students who receive financial aid and withdraw or drop all courses during the term to be aware of the refund policies and to understand the impact they will have on the aid released and the continued financial aid eligibility. Current refund policies for students who withdraw or drop all courses during a term are determined by the Higher Education Title IV refund regulations.
Federal Refund and Repayment calculations must be performed for students who receive Title IV (Pell, FSEOG, Perkins and/or Stafford Loans) funds and officially withdraw from all courses, drop out of all courses, are expelled, take an unapproved leave of absence, or fail to return from an approved leave of absence prior to the 60% date of the term. All “unearned aid” must be returned to the federal aid programs as determined by the Federal Refund and Repayment calculations.
- The requirements for Title IV program funds are separate from the university refund policy. As such, you are responsible for unpaid institutional charges remaining after the refund calculation. You are also responsible for charges/balances created by the returning of Title IV program funds that the school was required to return.
- If you have questions about your Title IV program funds, you can call the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-4-FEDAID (1-800-433-3243). TTU users may call 1-800-730- 8913. Information is also available on Student Aid on the web at www.studentaid.ed.gov.
In order to keep all the financial aid issued in each term, students must be enrolled for at least 60% of the term. After this point in the term students have earned 100% of the Title IV funds released for the term. Therefore, it is in your best interest to maintain attendance and complete at least one class each term that you receive federal aid to avoid repayment of funds.
How the calculation works:
- Number of days attended ÷ Days in semester = % of semester completed
- Total $ disbursed X % completed = Earned $
- Total $ disbursed - Earned $ = $ to be returned
Once it is determined that you owe money back to any of the federal aid programs, you will be ineligible to receive further federal aid at TTUHSC or any other institution until this debt is cleared.
Textbooks & Supplies
The cost of books and supplies will vary with the different curricula. School of Health Professions students can expect to pay approximately $500-$750 per semester for books and supplies. Some professional students will also be required to purchase lab coats and accessories for course work at TTUHSC.
Financial Aid
Grants and loans are available through the TTUHSC Financial Aid Office. All students interested in receiving grants and/or loans must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and include TTUHSC’s school code on the FAFSA (016024). The online FAFSA application is available at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
NOTE: Financial aid offers from other colleges and universities, including TTU, are not transferable to TTUHSC. For further information regarding financial aid, please contact:

Scholarships
The School of Health Professions has many scholarships available. These are administered through the Office of Admissions and Student Affairs. Scholarships are designed to reward, encourage and assist students in pursuing academic excellence and leadership. Scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic achievement (e.g. grade point average and GRE scores) extracurricular activities (e.g. involvement, volunteer history and employment), personal interview, written essay and in some cases, financial need. Some scholarships may have additional, very specific qualifications (county of residence, etc.).
A non-resident student may be eligible to pay in-state tuition rates if the student receives an institutional competitive scholarship totaling at least $1,000 for the academic year and/or summer for which the student is enrolled. Most scholarships are considered “competitive” in nature. However, not all meet the requirements necessary to waive out-of-state tuition for non-resident recipients.
