TMDSAS Policies and Procedures for Processing Applications
Withdrawals and Refunds
The application fee is NOT refundable once initial processing has begun. The following conditions are the only exceptions:
- A non-resident fee was submitted with the application but the applicant is determined to be a Texas resident upon initial review of the application.
- Re-applicants who accept admission to Texas A&M University College of Medicines for the previous entry year.
- Ineligible applications. The refund will be the original fee paid minus a $25.00 processing fee.
Requests for withdrawal and/or refunds should be sent via email to TMDSAS@utsystem.edu or mailed to:
Texas Medical & Dental Schools Application Service
702 Colorado, Ste. 6.400
Austin , TX 78701
Verbal requests for withdrawal and/or refunds will not be accepted.
Please pay the correct fee amount that appears on the Pay & Submit page at the end of your application. Overpayment of fees will not be refunded.
If fee was paid by personal check, refunds cannot be processed until three months after the check is deposited by TMDSAS. If fee was paid by money order, refunds can be processed immediately following confirmation of deposit by TMDSAS.
The accounting for all TMDSAS application fees is handled by the UT Austin Accounting department which charges a $25.00 fee for cancelled checks. Therefore, applicants who cancelled a check submitted for the application fee will be given the opportunity to pay the application fee plus the $25.00 cancelled check fee. If payment is not received, TMDSAS will file an irregularity report to the Association of the American Medical Colleges, American Dental Association and to other organizations with a need to know.
