Academic Policies
If only a percentage of tuition is refundable by the University's policy or
if a student withdraws after the last day to receive any tuition refund, the
financial aid for that student is reviewed. Title IV Funds (involving Direct
Loans, Perkins Loans, Parent Loans, Pell Grants, & SEOG Funds) that
come from the government are subject to refund and repayment. The
steps in this procedure include:
1. Calculating the percentage of earned aid based on the number of
days the student attended classes up to 60% of the semester.
2. Applying that percentage against the aid received.
3. Returning the amount of the unearned portions of aid back to the Title
IV programs.
a. This may increase the balance owed to the university but
decrease what the student would owe later against a loan.
b. If the student made cash draws from this aid, it may create
a repayment from the student due to the Title IV program.Example #1:

3400.00A student found to have received all 'F,' 'WF,' and '1I,' grades at the end of
a semester is also subject to the Title IV calculation as described above.
However, additional steps will be taken to support if the student actually
stayed in attendance throughout the semester in at least one course and
earned the grade, or if there is a date of last attendance at an academic
activity. Professors will be contacted to establish this date; that date
will then be the date of withdrawal used to do the Title IV calculations.
This calculation tells the school if Title IV funds must be returned to the
program as stated by the federal government. If a student earns even one
passing grade in a subject, the calculation will not be necessary.
A student must begin any withdrawal with the Student Retention Office,
located in the Registrar's Office in the Maegden Building, complete the
necessary signatures, and conclude at the Registrar's Office.
ROOM AND BOARD REGULATION
1. Students are required to live on campus unless they have either
completed 60 hours, are 21, are married, or live within 30 miles of
campus with a parent or legal guardian. Residence hall rooms are
reserved by written agreement for the fall and spring semesters. A
student requesting to live off campus must be approved by Assistant
Director of Residence Life. An application must be submitted to the
Student Affairs Office, located in Old Main, Room 100.
2. An application/agreement for housing is sent to the student upon
their acceptance to McMurry University. The completed Housing
Application/Agreement and deposit of $150.00 needs to be returned
to the Admissions Office. Rooms are assigned on a first come-first
serve basis and are based on availability.
3. $100.00 of the housing deposit is returned to the student upon their
final move out of the residence hall, provided the room is clean, there
is no damage, complete checkout procedures are followed, and the
deposit is requested in accordance with the terms of their lease.4. The room and board charge is maintained by a yearly contract and if
required, the price of room and board is subject to change.
ACADEMIC POLICIES & INFORMATION
GENERAL DEFINITIONS
THEACADEMIC YEAR differs from the calendar year in that it is only
nine months in duration, beginning late August and ending in May. The
academic year begins with the FALL SEMESTER and ends with the
SPRING SEMESTER. The academic year, therefore includes portions
of two calendar years. The SUMMER SESSION consists of two terms,
each approximately five and one-half weeks in duration. The MAY TERM
is a three-week interim term which is scheduled after Spring Commence-
ment and before the beginning of the Summer Session. It is described
more fully in a later section under the heading of "Courses of Study." The
student should refer to the UNIVERSITY CALENDAR which appears at
the beginning of this publication.
NUMBERING OF COURSES. Credit in college courses is counted in
semester hours. (A course meeting three lecture hours per week for
one semester has a credit value of three semester hours.) Freshmen-
level courses are numbered in the 1000s; Sophomore-level courses are
numbered in the 2000s; Junior-level courses are numbered in the 3000s;
and Senior-level courses are numbered in the 4000s. The second digit
in the course number designates the number of semester hours credit for
the course; the third and fourth digits distinguish one course from another.
All Junior- and Senior-level courses are called advanced courses and
are numbered in the 3000s and 4000s. A student who does not have the
necessary standing or prerequisites will not be allowed to register for an
advanced course.
