A&S: Financial Obligations

Part-time Students Who Withdraw from the College

Part-time students who withdraw completely within the first school week of the semester are eligible for a full refund of tuition and fees. After the first week, the amount of the tuition and fees to be charged will follow the full-time withdrawal schedule.

Students will not be eligible for any refund of tuition if required to withdraw from the College.

Part-time Students Who Withdraw from a Course

A part-time student who withdraws from a course after the add/drop period and remains registered for other academic work will not be eligible for a refund.

Credit for Scholarships

Students who have been awarded financial aid are required to pay any amount not covered by the award by the established semester payment due date to avoid being charged a late payment fee. The Office of the Bursar must receive written notification (Outside Scholarship Reporting Form) of any outside scholarship from the organization before the credit can be given towards tuition and fees. Outside scholarships are any scholarships a student receives that do not come directly from the College of William & Mary. Students are required to report all outside scholarships to the Bursar, even if the scholarship is paid directly to the student. Outside scholarship funds may affect other aid that you have already been offered.  A student whose scholarships exceed total charges may apply for a refund beginning the first day of classes through the Student Account Refund Process. 

Unpaid Accounts

If there are any outstanding debts to the College, a hold will be placed on your William & Mary account making you ineligible for any services from the College such as registration for classes, official transcripts, or a diploma.  Please visit the following webpage for additional information: www.wm.edu/offices/financialoperations/rc/delinquentstudentaccounts
