If you completely withdraw from Boise State on or before the tenth day of the semester for regular session classes, you are eligible for a full refund of your registration fees, minus a nonrefundable $40 complete withdrawal fee. If you withdraw after the tenth day of classroom instruction, you will not receive a refund. For refund deadlines related to other sessions, refer to the current Academic Calendar. Refunds for private music lessons are not available after the first five days of classroom instruction.
When determining eligibility for a refund, Boise State considers only the date you officially withdraw, not the date you stopped attending class. Late registration does not impact refund deadlines—Boise State cannot extend deadlines based on when you registered. To qualify for a refund, you must complete your withdrawal no later than the tenth day of classroom instruction for regular session classes.
This general refund policy applies to both full-time and part-time students enrolled at the time of withdrawal. However, refund policies may differ for short courses, workshops, and continuing education classes. For continuing education courses, refund requests should be directed to the academic unit or organization offering the class.
In some cases, even if you expect a full refund, the amount you receive may be reduced. If you owe money to the university, the amount due will be deducted from your refund before it is issued. Similarly, if you used financial aid to cover tuition, registration charges, or room and board, Boise State may reimburse the government agency or organization that provided the aid. Any remaining balance will be sent to you, typically within three to four weeks after withdrawal.
