This policy applies to Early Registration, Open Registration, and Late Registration.
After the semester pay deadline has passed, late fees are assessed on ALL unpaid account balances, including accounts awaiting Financial Aid, at 20%, not to exceed $200.00 per semester. Students are responsible for dropping courses they do not plan to attend. If a student simply stops attending, their charges will not automatically be reversed. To receive a reversal of the tuition and fee charges, students must drop completely by the 100% Refund Deadline for Semester or Block classes. If students drop after these deadlines, they will still be obligated to pay the tuition and fee charges.
Students who default on all or any portion of their tuition and fees will be suspended from further registration and records activity at the University until their account is paid in full.
The registration and records activity suspension will be carried forward to perpetuity until all past due tuition and fees are paid in full.
Past due tuition accounts may be reported to the Credit Bureau and/or turned over to an outside collection agency for collection.
Full-time 2025-26 undergraduate resident students at Utah Valley University paying a semester tuition and fee amount of $3,337 (before any financial aid, scholarship or waiver) contribute an estimated 45 percent to the full cost of instruction per full-time student of $7,415. The remaining support for the full cost of instruction is provided by $4,078 of state tax funds.
A student who takes course work in excess of 125% of the credits required for graduation may be charged for those excessive credit hours at twice the resident rate, as per Utah State Board of Regents Policy R510.
The tuition refund policy is established by the Board of Regents and amended by each college/university to fit their programs. Utah Valley University refunds for students who withdraw from school or drop classes are calculated as follows:

Thereafter, the refund periods for instructional cycles other than the semester are extrapolated from the above schedule.
