Employee Tuition Reimbursement

Many companies provide full or partial tuition reimbursement to their employees who are pursuing a University education. Employed students should check with their companies to see if tuition reimbursement is available.

Failure to make payments for tuition, fees, or other amounts owed the University when due, or failure to arrange for such payments before their due dates, is considered sufficient cause to 1. Bar the student from registering for courses, 2. Drop the student from pre-registered courses, with subsequent registration subject to late fees, and/or 3. Withhold the transcript of record, certificate, or diploma.

Notice

Students receiving Financial Aid/Federal Title IV Financial Aid must officially withdraw from Fontbonne University. The withdrawal forms are located online and must be signed by the following departments: Director of Academic Advising, Financial Aid Office, Business Office, and Registrar’s Office.

Upon receiving official notification of withdrawal the Financial Aid Office will calculate a refund using the Return of Title IV Funds software, if the student has received Title IV aid. Those who receive cash refunds before withdrawing must repay all excess funds to Fontbonne University. Failure to repay funds when requested would bar you from receipt of financial aid in the future. Students will receive written notification of the adjustments to the financial aid package, which will indicate if a post-withdrawal disbursement is allowed. Students receiving Institutional grant or scholarship dollars will receive a refund based on the Tuition adjustment schedule. The Business Office should be contacted if any questions arise about billing.

Finally, please note withdrawal from a specific course(s) may result in an adjustment in the financial aid package. Also, failure to properly withdraw from the University will result in the adjustment of financial aid after the end of the semester. Therefore, please contact us immediately upon leaving the University.

Room and Board Refunds

Withdrawal from a residence hall will be prorated on the same basis as tuition and fees. The room deposit will be refunded subject to any outstanding financial obligation to the University.
