Fee refund requests are governed by TBR Guideline B-060 and Tennessee Tech's Refund Policy. The purpose of the Fee Refund Appeal is to review students' requests for fee refund and to ensure that objectivity and fairness is applied in reaching each decision.

Students who appeal to receive fee refunds beyond the established 100%, 75% and 25% refund periods need to complete the Student Request for Refund of Fees after Withdrawal from the University or Dropping a Class (pdf) Form. The form requires the signatures of the student and Director of Financial Aid and is then forwarded to the Records Office. All requests will be reviewed by the Fee Refund Committee.

Within 14 working days the Committee's recommendations are forwarded to the Vice- President for Business and Fiscal Affairs for final approval. The Business Office shall notify the student of final decisions. Students have the right to appeal to the Vice-President for Fiscal Affairs. Final appeal can be made to the President of the University.

Submission of the Fee Refund Form and documentation does not imply automatic approval of any request. Submission of forms without supporting documentation will not be considered for appeal.

Please note that all Title IV aid recipients, those students receiving one of the following programs, Federal Pell Grant, Federal SEOG, Federal Work Study, Federal Stafford Loan, Federal Perkins Loan and/or Federal PLUS loan, will have their refund of those programs calculated based on the federal Return to Title IV Funds calculation. This supersedes any institutional refund policy and only applies to federal Title IV funds.
