All financial obligations to the University must be discharged before a student can graduate and obtain a degree. A student will not be considered to have registered in the University until all tuition and fees have been paid in full or deferred in accordance with the deferred payment plan outlined at the end of this section.
Checks and money orders should be made payable to Case Western Reserve University and should show the name and social security number of the student for whom payment is made.
Students registered in all colleges and schools except Dentistry, Law, Management, and Medicine will be charged tuition according to the following schedule for 1998-99:
Students enrolled in undergraduate courses for the summer semester will be charged at a rate which is one-half of the previous semester's per credit hour charge.
Registration in the fall or spring semester for more than 9 credit hours of dissertation research or more than a total 16 graduate credit hours requires special permission of the dean of Graduate Studies.

The CWRU Medical Plan fee is automatically billed at the beginning of the fall semester and spring semester (Spring semester coverage extends through the summer) to all students registered for one or more credit hours. The CWRU Medical Plan provides coverage for medical care not available at the University Health Service. Students registered for one or more credit hours are eligible to use the University Health Service regardless of their participation with the CWRU Medical Plan. Students who have alternate medical insurance may waive the CWRU Medical Plan fee each semester by completing a waiver form which is available at the University Health Service (368-2450). The deadline date for returning the completed waiver form is stated on the top of the waiver form. Remember, this fee is billed twice a year; therefore, a waiver must be completed twice a year. Completed waivers may be returned to Student Accounts Receivable in Pardee Hall or to the University Health Service.
Required of students who register after classes have begun: $25.
There is a $5.00 fee assessed for each transcript request.

Students are responsible for their personal property while on campus. The University assumes no responsibility for loss of or damage to a student's personal property, and the University insurance program does not cover such losses.
Many "homeowner policies" purchased by a student's family provide coverage for such perils as fire, water, and theft. If this coverage does not exist, the student may wish to consider the purchase of a separate policy.
Students enrolled in fall, spring, and summer terms for courses of full term length may arrange to pay bills for tuition and fees in two installments. At least one-half of the total bill must be paid at registration; the remainder must be paid by October 15 for the fall semester, March 15 for the spring semester, and July 15 for the summer session. Any remainder after the dates specified will be considered delinquent and will be assessed a late payment charge of 1.5% per month. Students registering as transient from another institution must pay the tuition and fees in full at the time of registration.
Case Western Reserve University provides a Tuition Made E-Z Payment Plan. This ACH process will automatically debit a designated checking account on a monthly basis and apply the credits electronically to the student's account. This process will eliminate the need for writing checks and the cost of postage. Information on this plan is available through the Office of Student Accounts Receivable at (216) 368-2226 or the Controller's Office website at http:www/cwru.edu/finadmin/controller/conthome.htm.
It is the policy of Case Western Reserve University that a refund from a scholarship, a grant, a loan or other assistance will be issued only after all charges payable to the University for an entire semester have been satisfied. If the gift assistance and loans for a semester exceed the student's charges for that semester, a refund will be issued during that semester. Since a refund cannot be processed until after the end of the late registration/drop/add period, there is a delay of approximately two weeks after the costs and aid are confirmed. Any student, who is anticipating a refund, should make provision to cover costs to be incurred prior to the issuance of the refund check. (Please note that any form of aid designated as Pending is not considered to be received until the pending designation is removed and the credit has been applied to the student's account.)
A student who completely withdraws from a fall or spring semester must pay a percentage of the tuition charge. The percentage charged is based on the number of weeks classes have been in session at the time of withdrawal.
1 0%
2-3 12%
4-5 25%
6-7 37%
8-10 50%
After 10th week 100%
There is no tuition refund after the tenth week of classes.
A student who completely withdraws from a summer session must likewise pay a percentage of the tuition charge. The amount is based on the number of weeks classes have been in session at the time of withdrawal.
| 1 | 0% |
| 2 | 14% |
| 3 | 28% |
| 4 | 42% |
| 5 | 56% |
| After 5th week | 100% |
There is no tuition refund after the fifth week of classes.
The University will refund any tuition paid for a semester by any student in good standing who is inducted into the armed forces before the end of that semester and who does not receive credit for the work completed during that semester.
A student who drops a course or courses after the normal drop/add period without completely withdrawing from the University is not entitled to a tuition refund for the course or courses dropped. This rule applies to both semesters and summer sessions. The Weatherhead School of Management, the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences, and the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing amend this policy slightly to allow for cases in which, because of unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances, the student must drop a course or courses but does not wish to withdraw completely. At the discretion of the dean, a partial tuition refund may be authorized, and Federal loan funds may be reduced to reflect the adjusted tuition cost.
Special fees are not refundable.
