Student Accounts Office

The Student Accounts Office processes tuition refunds for withdrawals from the University in accordance with University and Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education policies.

During the regular Fall and Spring semesters, if students choose to withdraw from the University during the first five weeks of the semester, there will be a refund of tuition, room and meals (if applicable) and some fees. The refund percentage used in the calculation is based on the date of withdrawal entered by the student in the S.C.O.T.S. system in accordance with PA Board of Governor's Policy 1983-19-A. Refunds for students who withdraw from special start and end date terms will be calculated according to the Tuition Refund and Account Adjustment Schedule Special Start and End Date Classes.*

Please refer to our Billing Information for more.

Students who reduce their credit hour load to part-time after the 100% refund shall not be eligible for a refund or account adjustment of amounts that exceed the part-time rate. After the drop period, refunds for tuition and fees shall be made only for full semester withdrawal.

Some students will qualify to accept Direct Loans or Parent Plus Loans in excess of their balance due to the University. Refunds of the excess financial aid usually are available during the third week of the semester. The most efficient manner to receive the refund of excess loan funds is by direct deposit. To sign up for direct deposit, log in to MyEdinboro and click on the Direct Deposit icon with the dollar sign.

Students who do not sign up for direct deposit will receive a paper check through the U.S. mail at the permanent address listed with the University.

If your employer will reimburse your tuition, we offer a tuition reimbursement agreement. The agreement outlines the courses that you are taking, how much of the tuition your employer will pay, and how much of the University's fees your employer will pay.

• If your employer will pay 100% of the tuition and 100% of the fees, you are required to pay a $125 deposit to have your bill deferred.
• If your employer only pays 100% of the tuition, you are required to pay all of the fees not paid by your employer to have your bill deferred.
• If your employer pays only a portion of the tuition, to have your bill deferred, you are required to pay any part of the bill that is not covered by your employer.

The tuition reimbursement form has a place for your employer to sign, a place for you to sign, and a place for your credit card information. All of the signatures, the credit card information, and payment must be received in order for the agreement to be valid. The credit card information is required to be used only if the semester is not paid in full within 60 days of the term ending. The student is required to turn in any grades required to the employer. Please note that the agreement and your portion of the payment are due before the start of the term to avoid penalty.

Health and Wellness Fee

• Provides all reasonable and necessary medical care to individuals needing assistance.
• Physicians, nurses and nurse practitioners are on duty to provide immediate medical attention. There is no additional cost to the student to see a doctor, nurse or nurse practitioner.
• The Health Center also deals with some public health issues, such as the spread of infectious diseases, which can affect all students.
• Provides visits for counseling and psychological services.
• A number of our students are covered by health insurance; however, the total cost of this operation must be shared by all students.

Student Activity Fee

• Assessed by the Student Government Association in accordance with Act 188 of the General Assembly. The fee provides funds for the educational, social, cultural, athletic and leadership activities of the student population. For example, it funds special lectures, guest speakers and concert events.

University Center Fee

• Used to defray the cost of the Pogue Center and gives students access to any and all of the activities held there. It also is a fee mandated by Pennsylvania legislation to provide for repayment of financing for construction.

Instructional Service Fee

• This fee is not assessed for academic advisement but is used to help defray educational expenses and supplies, such as instructional equipment, diplomas, lab supplies and faculty travel to supervise internships.

Tuition - Technology Fee

• This fee is set by the Board of Governors in Harrisburg to help keep on-campus computer labs and equipment running and updated for student use.
• The fee is also used to properly maintain communications between a student who is taking courses off-campus and the University.

Art Fee

• Art is one of Edinboro's most expensive programs due to high technology expenses and small-sized studio classes. For classes with an ART course prefix, this fee helps cover some of these expenses and is calculated as 5% of the tuition rate. This comes to $15.10 per credit for in-state undergraduate students.
• Most importantly for students, this fee will cover the cost of special art materials that were previously purchased by students for certain studios. For instance, students previously paid the University for wood purchased for projects in wood studio classes and for clay used in ceramics classes, but this and similar purchases will now be purchased directly by the Art Department using funds generated by this fee.
• The fee covers only a portion of the actual expenses and is set at a minimal level to keep the program affordable.
• This fee will not be charged for Art History or Art Education courses since these are not technology-intensive courses or studios.

Music Fee

• The Music Fee is charged as $100 per credit for applied music lessons. The lessons are 1-credit courses, so the fee will be $100 for the lessons for each applied instrument studied during the semester.
• Music is one of Edinboro's most expensive programs partly because of the individual attention from faculty that students receive in these applied lessons. Even with this fee, these lessons are a very good value compared to what a student would pay for private lessons outside the University.
• This fee was actually recommended by Music students as a way of making the program more cost-effective so that the University could maintain the major.
• The fee covers only a portion of the actual cost and is set at a minimal level to keep the program affordable.

Student Success Fee

• This fee is set at $70 per semester and is used to partially support the costs of the Academic Success Center.
• This Center provides academic advising support for all students, oversees tutoring assistance, and provides one-on-one and group instruction to students on study skills, test-taking skills and time management so that they can be successful in their programs at Edinboro.
• The Center is staffed full-time each weekday so that students have ready access to assistance and direction.

STEM Fee

• Students in high-cost, high-demand undergraduate science, technology, engineering, mathematics and health courses (excluding Nursing) will pay a $30-per-credit fee to cover a portion of the additional costs of these courses. A percentage of these fees will be utilized by academic departments to invest in enhancing the quality of these programs.
