You must visit the Student Business Services Office after you receive your invoice and present your purchase order, letter of payment or tuition voucher before the 1st day of classes. The ap-plicable payments to your account will be made by the payment deadline.

Return of Title IV

Funds

In addition to institutional policies and procedures regarding refunds, students receiving Title IV funds will be subject to a separate calculation to determine the return of any Title IV funds. The federal formula provides a return of Title IV aid if the student received federal financial assistance in the form of a Pell Grant; Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant; Federal Perkins Loan; Federal Stafford or PLUS loan and withdrew on or before completing 60 percent of the semester. The percentage of the refund is equal to the number of calendar days remaining in the semester.

If any refund remains after the required return of Title IV aid, the refund will be used to repay UTEP funds, state funds, other private sources and the student in proportion to the amount paid by each non-federal source, as long as there was no unpaid balance; then all aid sources will be repaid before any refund is paid to the student.

Worksheets used to determine the amount of refund or repayment are available upon request. Example: Paydirt Pete completely withdraws on the third week of school (17th calendar day into the semester). The number of calendar days in the semester is 54. He had $500 in Federal Pell and was charged $438 in tuition and fees. Under the federal Return of Title IV Aid policy, this student would owe $20.98.

DISCLAIMER

This Schedule of Classes is a general information publication only. It is not intended to nor does it contain all regulations that relate to students. The provisions of this Schedule of Classes do not constitute a contract, express or implied, between any applicant, student or faculty member and the University of Texas at El Paso or the University of Texas System. The University of Texas at El Paso reserves the right to add or withdraw courses at any time, to change fees or tuition, calendar, curriculum, degree requirements, graduation procedures, and any other requirements affecting students. Changes will become effective whenever the proper authorities so determine and will apply to both prospective students and those already enrolled.

STATEMENT OF EQUAL EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY

To the extent provided by applicable law, no person shall be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under, any pro-gram or activity sponsored or conducted by the University of Texas System or any of its component institutions, on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, veteran status, or disability.

FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT

FERPA affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. These rights are:

The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45 days of the day the University receives a request for access. Students should

submit to the Vice President for Finance and Administration written requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. The Vice President for Finance and Administration will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected.

The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the student believes is inaccurate or misleading. A student who believes that

his or her education records are inaccurate or misleading, or that the records violate his or her privacy rights, may informally discuss amendment of the record with the university office or agency concerned with the particular record. If agreement is reached with respect to the student’s request, the appropriate records will be amended. (Note: The substantive judgment of a faculty member about a student’s work, expressed in grades and/or evaluations, is not within the purview of this right to seek amendment of education records.) If the record is not amended pursuant to the student’s request, the university will inform the student of its decision and of the student’s right to request a formal hearing. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.

The right to consent to disclosures of the personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education records, except to the extent that

FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception, which permits disclosure without consent, is disclosure to school officials with legitimate

educa-tional interests. A school official is defined as a person employed by the University in an administrative, supervisory, academic, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit and health staff); a person or company with whom the University has contracted (such as an attorney, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Upon request, the University discloses education records without consent to officials of another school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll or is enrolled.

The right to request that directory information not be disclosed to the public. “Directory Information” means information in a student’s education record that

would not generally be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed. The University of Texas System component institutions policies will designate the following minimum information as directory information: student’s name; local and permanent address; email address; telephone number; date and place of birth; field of study; dates of attendance; enrollment status; student classification; degrees, certificates and awards (including scholarships) received; photographs; participation in officially recognized activities and sports; weight and height of members of athletic teams; and the most recent previous educational agency or insti-tution attended. Directory information may appear in public documents and may otherwise be disclosed without student consent unless a student submits a written request to the registrar during the first 12 class days of a fall or spring semester or during the first 4 class days of a summer semester to withhold such information from disclosure. Requests to withhold directory information will be honored by the University for only the current enrollment period; therefore, a request to withhold Directory Information must be filed each semester or term in the Office of the Registrar.

The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the University to comply with the requirements of

FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers FERPA is:

Family Policy Compliance Office U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue, S.W. Washington, DC 20202-4605
