Tuition Refund Dates
Students Withdrawing from Coursework After Term Start
Students who withdraw from coursework during a term (dismissal, leave of absence, resignation, etc.) may receive adjustments to tuition and corresponding aid according to the Tuition Policy. The dates below are used to calculate potential adjustments deemed appropriate by the tuition policy. Note that 50 percent tuition adjustments do not apply to students in their final term of enrollment before graduation unless they have already paid eight full semesters of medical school tuition. Some adjustments may generate a credit balance or require a reduction in Federal Student Aid. Students will be notified via email of all changes.
Students Enrolling in the Second Half of a Term
Students who only enroll in coursework for the second half of a term (on leave for the first half of the term) may also be subject to a 50 percent tuition reduction. The earliest date to begin coursework in the second half of the term is the Monday of the midpoint of the term.

In-State Residency
There are a number of factors that may be considered in determining in-state residency for tuition purposes, and you must be able to clearly prove your residency. Alabama, like other states, restricts resident tuition to persons who have been residing in Alabama for purposes other than to obtain an education, and who are able to demonstrate contacts with the State of Alabama indicating intent to remain in this state. Resident tuition status is determined by the University, with regard to Alabama law, and the policies of the Board of Trustees of the University of Alabama.
