University policy precludes tuition remission for children of Rice faculty and staff who are not students at Rice University. The inter-university/college tuition remission (including the exchange program with Austin College and Trinity University) will not be in effect during the Summer Program.
Please note that withdrawal is effective only after written notification is received in the Summer School Office.
The $200 per course tuition deposit (required of visiting and Class III students only) will be refunded if withdrawal occurs prior to registration, if the course is canceled for lack of enrollment, or if a student is not accepted. Deposits paid by credit card will be returned less a 5 percent handling fee.
Seventy-five dollars will be deducted from the tuition refund if withdrawal occurs after registration, but before the course begins. This $75 withdrawal penalty is in addition to the nonrefundable application fee and any applicable late fees.
Fifty percent of tuition paid will be refunded if withdrawal occurs after the corresponding course begins.
There is a $30 charge for any check returned for insufficient funds.
