A Bursar Hold may be placed on the account of a student who owes a past due balance. The hold will prevent the student from registering for the next term, receiving transcripts, viewing grades, or receiving a diploma. Once a past due balance has been paid in full, the hold will be removed.
Check and ACH payments are periodically returned by the bank for a variety of reasons. When this occurs, the payee must repay the debt along with a penalty, and the Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine must take steps to minimize the risk of repeated returned payments.
There will be a $25.00 fee assessed for any returned check. A bursar hold will be placed onto the student account until the returned check and returned check fee have been paid by the designated due date.
A student who cancels, withdraws for personal or medical reasons, is suspended, or is dismissed will receive a refund of tuition charged for the term based on the following schedule:
*Medical documentation may be submitted for consideration.
**Calculation will be based on the first date of enrollment for the term.
Withdrawal Percentage Refunded
During first week of term — 100%
During second week of term — 75%
During third week of term — 50%
After third week of term — 0%
Students receiving Veterans Education Benefits who fail to complete the program, withdraw or are dismissed for any reason prior to the completion of the program, will be charged for tuition, fees and other charges on a pro rata basis. Charges for the completed portion of the program shall
not exceed the approximate pro rata portion of the total charges for tuition, fees and other charges for the full length of the program.
Direct Depost Form
Refunds and/or reimbursements are issued through an Electronic Funds Transfer (Direct Deposit) to the student’s designated bank account. An EFT is the fast way for you to receive a refund and/or reimbursement.
To sign up, complete the direct deposit form and submit it to the Bursar’s office. Any time you make changes to your bank or account information, an updated form will need to be completed. Please note “updated bank account” on the form.
