Return Check Policy It is understood and agreed that upon presentation of your check as the form of payment for any Northern State University transactions, you are entering into a contractual agreement that obligates you and holds you responsible for any and all fees and expenses incidental to the principal obligation on any check that is returned non-payable. Returned checks, state surcharges, sales taxes and incidental fess may be debited from your account electronically or by way of paper draft. Withdrawals/Refunds Drops: Most summer classes are considered non-standard length classes. In order to receive a 100% refund for a nonstandard length class, the class must be dropped by 10% of the calendar days of the class (Census date). Students may drop individual classes via Self-Service Banner or by contacting the Registrar’s Office (Dacotah Hall 103) until 70% of the course has passed (Drop date). Courses dropped by Census date will not appear on the student transcript and will no longer be calculated in attempted credits. Courses dropped after Census date but by the Drop date will remain on the transcript and will receive a withdrawal grade. Undergraduate students receive WD grades for their first 6 individual drops. After the 6th a WFL grade is posted, which counts as an F. Zero credit courses and co-requisite labs will receive a W grade. Students should consider this when deciding to drop a course. Dates for our most common terms are listed in Important Deadlines & Dates. Students are responsible to know and adhere to the Census and Drop dates of each class they enroll in. Withdrawals: The student must notify the Registrar’s Office if they decide to withdraw from all courses at all of South Dakota’s six public universities for summer. Self-Service Banner will not allow you to drop all classes for a term. Students must notify the Registrar’s Office to be sure processing is done correctly. The Registrar’s Office will send the student a link to an online Exit Survey. The student’s official withdrawal date will be the date the Exit Survey is completed and submitted to the Registrar’s Office. A student may not withdraw if it is past the Drop date of any enrolled class though they may be able to drop courses that have not reached their drop date. Each situation is unique, so eligibility for refund will be determined upon withdrawal. Room contracts and meal plans will be refunded based on the unused portion of the charges. Refunds will be calculated through 60% of the semester. Withdrawals prior to term start are cancels and nothing appears on the transcript. Withdrawals after term start through census result in a notation on the transcript. For withdrawals after census through 70% point, all classes appear on the transcript with WW grades. Refunds: Refunds for financial aid recipients will be returned to aid programs first as required by federal regulations. Any remaining funds will be returned to the student. If the aid repayment results in a balance due, the student will be responsible to remit that amount to the University. Students are encouraged to sign up to receive refunds through direct deposit to their checking or savings account.
