Course Material Fees
These fees are required of some classes (noted
on the Class Schedule website) in which a relatively large portion
of instructional costs is due to the necessary use of consumable
resources. These fees are automatically assessed. A fee card is
not required. These fees may be cancelled when a course is officially
dropped within the fee cancellation period. Course material fees
are also cancelled in accordance with the Tuition Cancellation
schedule as they appear on the Term Calendar. For additional information,
contact the Department offering the course. Courses listed as
having special fees require payment of the fee in addition to
the tuition.
Dropping Classes by Mail or Fax
after the deadline - (see
the Term Calendar for the specific tuition cancellation dates)
If a student wants to drop a
class prior to the deadline they must do so by the web at www.pipeline.wayne.edu.
Classes may be dropped
after the deadline by sending or faxing a completed faculty and
instructor approved Register/Add/Drop form to Registration and
Scheduling, 5057 Woodward, 5th Floor, Detroit, MI 48202-3489.
The fax number is 313-993-7758. Your signature, ID number and
class number(s) to be dropped must be included on any notice of

later than the fifth day of classes. Dependents should also submit
their completed forms to the Benefits Administration office no

Financial Aid Recipients
Recipients must pay any difference between their
awards and their tuition assessment by the end of the first week
of classes in order to avoid a late payment fee. A HOLD will be
placed on the records of any student who does not make the required
payment. While the Hold is in effect, the student may not register
for a subsequent term, a diploma will not be issued, nor will
a transcript be released. Removal of the HOLD will be expedited
if the student obtains a release when paying the past due balance.
A HOLD disqualifies students from participating in the deferred
tuition payment plan. Wayne State University offers monthly payment
options in cooperation with Tuition Management Services (TMS)
and Academic Management Services (AMS) to help make education
expenses more affordable. The Interest-Free Monthly Payment Option
enables students to spread all or part of the annual tuition expenses
over equal, monthly payments. There are no interest charges, only
a small annual fee. For further information, contact the Accounts
Receivable Office at (313) 577-3653. You may also call TMS at
(800) 722-4867 or AMS at (800) 635-0120.

The fee is subject to cancellation only when all courses are dropped
within the tuition cancellation period. For additional information
contact Business Operations at (313) 577-1996.

registration fee will automatically be removed. For all other
complete withdrawal processed, the registration fee is
non-refundable.

policy may be found in the University Bulletin and are attached
to the Application for Residency Classification. These rules and
regulations are subject to change without notice by action of
the Board of Governors. Students who have been classified as non-residents

Tuition and Fee Payments
Student Financial Obligation for Payment of Tuition and Fees
By completing registration for a semester students become financially responsible for payment of all applicable fees by the published due date(s).
Payments not received by the due date(s) are subject to collection, attorney, and litigation costs, which also become a financial obligation of the
student. Failure to make payment because a statement of account or invoice is not received does not exempt students from late payment or partial
payment fees. Students are encouraged to make certain that the University has their correct mailing address and to familiarize themselves with the
required payment due dates and deadlines outlined on the Term Calendars.
Additionally, accounts must be current to maintain enrollment eligibility and to request and receive
official University documents and services. If you have questions, or require additional information, please contact the Student Accounts
Receivable Office at (313) 577-3653.

Tuition Cancellation
Students who officially drop classes before the conclusion of
the first two weeks of classes (for the Fall and Winter terms)
are entitled to 100% tuition cancellation, and the classes do
not appear on the academic record.
Students are contractually liable
for tuition unless they take official action during the tuition
cancellation period to drop classes. The registration fee is not
subject to cancellation and is non-refundable.
Students who officially drop
fifteen-week classes after second week of classes (for the Fall
and Winter terms) are not entitled to any tuition cancellation;
however, classes dropped prior to the conclusion of the fourth
week of classes do not appear on the students’ academic
records. If all classes are dropped, the notation “Complete
Withdrawal”, will appear on the students’ academic
records.
Students are required to have
the instructors’ signature for drops processed after the
fourth week of classes (for the Fall and Winter terms) and the
classes dropped are included on the academic record with a mark
of “W".
During the tuition cancellation
period and prior to needing instructors’ signatures, students’
may process a drop via the telephone registration system at 577-3279.
During the period when instructors’ signatures are required
to drop classes, the drop must be submitted in person through
the department offering the class or to Registration and Scheduling.
For classes scheduled less than
fifteen-weeks, the above rules are applied proportionately. Questions
concerning registration or assessment should be directed to Registration
and Scheduling at 577-3541. Classes for which a grade has been
earned may not be dropped.
Financial aid recipients should
contact the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid before processing
an official withdrawal submitting a request to determine the effect
of this action upon their financial aid.
Cancellations are computed on
tuition assessed. The amount cancelled will be credited to the
student's account. If this results in an overpayment, a refund
may be requested from Accounts Receivable by calling (313) 577-3653.
If the credit is not sufficient to cover the outstanding balance,
the student is responsible for the remainder and must pay in accordance
with the Tuition and Fee Payment Policy to avoid late payment
fees.
Tuition Cancellation - Special
Adjustments
The University Registrar is authorized to make
adjustments in the application of the Tuition and Fee Assessments'
and Enrollment policies when unusual circumstances warrant. Circumstances,
which may warrant special tuition cancellation, are serious illness
or death of an immediate family member, or misadvisement by a
University representative. Tuition cannot be
cancelled for reasons such as changes in work schedule or other
employment demands, claim of lack of information, insufficient
funds, unawareness of the difference between tuition and student
financial aid, undocumented reasons, or reasons that are within
the control of the student. Students who wish to have their requests
reviewed must submit a completed Request for an Exception
to Enrollment Policy application and supporting
documentation to Registration and Scheduling. It is the responsibility
of the student to submit documentation to facilitate the review.
Non-Attendance, by itself, is not an acceptable
reason for not dropping a class in a timely manner. The University
Non-Attendance Policy will allow 40% tuition cancellation only
for students in their first term at Wayne State
University.
Instructors for all
courses must verify the student did not attend classes
after the tuition cancellation deadline. This policy is designed
to provide relief to those students who in their first semester
at Wayne State may not be familiar with the University's Tuition
Cancellation Policy.
Financial aid recipients should
contact the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid before processing
an official withdrawal to determine the effect of this action
upon their financial aid.
A medical withdrawal
is a complete withdrawal from all courses. Students are required
to submit a Request for Medical Withdrawal
application, including medical reports from the attending physician(s).
Deadline dates for filing the
Request for an Exception to Enrollment Policy
or Request for Medical Withdrawal are:
Winter Term - July 1, Spring/Summer Term - November 1, Fall Term
- March 1. If the deadline falls on a weekend, it will be extended
to the next business day. Applications must be received
by the filing deadline date because exceptions to the deadline
will not be granted.
Applications can also
be downloaded from the class schedule Web site at: http://sdcl.wayne.edu/RegistrarWeb/Forms/Forms.
