Tuition Deposit & Refund
Tuition Deposit
Upon acceptance of admission, a non-refundable deposit of $500 payable directly to the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies is required to hold a place in the entering class. If a decision is made not to matriculate, the deposit will not be refunded.Tuition Refund
Because of changes in federal regulations governing the return of federal student aid (Title IV) funds for withdrawn students, the tuition rebate and refund policy has changed. The following rules became effective on July 1, 2000.
- For purposes of determining the refund of federal student aid funds, any student who withdraws from the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies for any reason during the first 60 percent of the term will be subject to a pro rata schedule that will be used to determine the amount of Title IV funds a student has earned at the time of withdrawal. A student who withdraws after the 60 percent point has earned 100 percent of the Title IV funds. The last day for refunds of federal student aid in the fall term is November 2; and for the spring term is April 1.
- For purposes of determining the refund of institutional aid funds and for students who have not received financial aid:
- 100 percent of tuition will be rebated for withdrawals that occur on or before the end of the first 10 percent of the term. In the fall term, that date is September 14; in the spring, that date is January 24, 2008.
- A rebate of one-half (50 percent) of tuition will be granted for withdrawals that occur after the first 10 percent but on or before the last day of the first quarter of the term. In the fall term, that date is September 25; in the spring, that date is February 19.
- A rebate of one-quarter (25 percent) of tuition will be granted for withdrawals that occur after the first quarter of the term but on or before the day of midterm. The first-quarter date is October 24 in the fall term and March 6 in the spring term.
- Students who withdraw for any reason after midterm will not receive a rebate of any portion of tuition.
- The death of a student will cancel charges for tuition as of the date of death, and the bursar will adjust the tuition on a pro rata basis.
- If the student has received student loans or other forms of financial aid, rebates will be refunded in the order prescribed by federal regulations; namely, first to the Unsubsidized Federal Stafford and/or Subsidized Federal Stafford loans, if any; then to Federal Perkins loan; next to any other federal, state, private, or institutional scholarships and loans; and, finally, any remaining balance to the student.
- Loan recipients (Stafford, Perkins, or Graduate PLUS Loan) who withdraw are required to have an exit interview before leaving Yale, and should contact the Student Loan Collection Office at 246 Church Street (432.2727) to determine where the interview will be held.
