Student Checklist for Withdrawing

• Financial Services

  Financial Services

  Any adjustments to your tuition/fees and financial aid will be based on the date on which you’ve completed the withdrawal process. Please see Clemson's Adjustment Schedule. If you are entitled to a refund, it will be automatically sent by direct deposit or a check to your permanent home address. However, students who drop all classes after the semester begins may find that their financial aid has been decreased or cancelled, and a repayment of some aid or payment plan may be due. Please contact the Student Financial Aid Office at 864-656-2280 to address your questions about your aid or contact Student Financial Services for questions about your balance.
• Financial Aid

  Financial Aid

  If a student withdraws prior to completing over 60% of a term, a pro-rated portion of the federal financial aid dollars must be considered "unearned" and returned to the federal programs and could cause students to owe the university a significant amount upon withdrawal.

  In addition to the amount of federal aid that Clemson must return, students who received financial aid for other educational costs, including off-campus living expenses, may be required to repay a portion of those funds to the federal programs. Failure to return aid due to the federal aid programs will result in loss of eligibility for federal aid assistance.

  For more information, please contact Financial Aid directly at 864-656-2280 or email Financial Aid.

• Parking Services

  Parking Services

  Parking decals must be returned to Parking Services. If you purchased an annual parking permit, a partial refund may be given up to March 15. For more questions, please contact Parking Services directly at 864-656-2270 or email Parking Services.

  *Per federal regulation, the date of the institution's determination that the student withdraws varies depending on the type of withdrawal. For example, if a student begins the official withdrawal process or provides official notification to the school of his or her intent to withdraw, the date of the institution's determination that the student withdraws would be the date the student begins the official withdrawal process or the date of the student's notification, whichever is later.
