High School Students - Refunds

Refund Schedule

Refunds of 100% of the per unit course fee are given for courses dropped up to the end of the first week of courses.

For Session I, the last date to obtain a full refund is July 7. For Session II, the last date to obtain a full refund is August 8. For Special Session courses, refer to the 2008 Deadlines Calendars for details: Session I, Session II, Special Session.

Once the fees have been reversed on a student account, that student may request a refund of any monies paid to the University for refundable fees. To request a refund, students must contact Student Business Services. Refunds take 2-4 weeks. A check will be mailed to the mailing address supplied on the visiting student application.

Any outstanding charges owed to the University must be paid before a refund can be issued.

UCSD understands that there may be situations that warrant further consideration. To learn about exceptions to the refund policy, please see below.
