The following refund schedule will apply to those students who withdraw from school or change from full-time to part-time enrollment. Students who withdraw from the University and reside in student residence halls will be refunded rent on the same basis as fees. Any refund of fees, residence hall rent, or Ole Miss Express will: 1. be applied to the appropriate Student Aid Source, if the student was receiving financial aid; 2. relieve any debt owed by the student to the University; and 3. the remaining balance will be forwarded to the withdrawn student. In case of dismissal of student, no refund will be given.
Additional refund policies are stated below, and each student should be familiar with these policies.

The cancellation fee is applicable to students who withdraw during the 100-percent refund period.

Withdrawal from the University
The effective date of withdrawal for refund purposes will be the date of notification to withdraw. Such notification should be given to the registrar. When notification is made by mail the postmark date of the letter may be considered as the date of notification. If a student is readmitted to the University after withdrawal that same semester, the student will be assessed only the amount previously refunded.

Ole Miss Express Refund Policy
All Ole Miss Express account balances are carried forward each semester. Using the remainder of the balance or requesting a refund can close an account. Accounts are closed should a member not re-enroll at the University and the Ole Miss Express account remain inactive for six months. Balances less than $23 will not be refunded.

All refund requests must be submitted in writing to the ID Center. Refunds to graduating or withdrawing students will be made upon request. Refunds to students upon graduation will be processed without charge. All other refunds will require a $20 processing fee which is deducted from the member's remaining account balance. Any refund made above the processing fee will first be applied to any unpaid balance on that student's account at the Office of the Bursar. Refunds will be forwarded to the member's permanent home address.

Meal Plan Refund Policy
Changes in a meal plan resulting in a lesser plan are allowed only during the first two weeks of the semester. Meal plan adjustments are calculated on the board meal value. Refunds are calculated using the following schedule:

Meal Plan Refund Schedule for Students Who Withdraw from School
(computed from the first day of Turner registration):

First five working days 90%
Between 6 and 10 working days 70%
Between 11 and 15 working days 50%
Between 16 and 20 working days 30%
After 20 working days 0%
