All charges are due in full at registration or before residence hall move in is begun, unless otherwise noted in fee information. Enrollment is not complete and students may not attend classes until satisfactory financial arrangements have been made with the Student Accounts Department. Satisfactory financial arrangements include one of the following payment options, or financial aid equal to or greater than each semester's charges. The financial aid process must be complete prior to registration, or students will be required to choose one of the following payment options, or pay 1/5 of their costs as a down payment. The University reserves the right to make any changes in refund policies, fees and expenses without notice.
Payment Plan Options - Tuition and Fees
Payment in Full - The annual expense of tuition, fees, room and board is due by July 1. Full payment by this date results in a 3% credit off the figure calculated as the "annual balance due" line of the Students Financial Charges Worksheet.
T.M.S Monthly Payment Plan - Twelve (12) Monthly installments without interest charges beginning June 10th and ending May10th. The annual enrollment fee is $65 per year or $50 per semester. This program is administered by Tuition Management Systems. There are no other fees or interest charges, however, late payment fees may be charged. Enrollment in the plan should be completed before June 10 to avoid having to make substantial back payments of missed months. (Employees of the University have the option of arranging for payroll deductions.)
Tuition Credit for Withdrawal From Undergraduate Classes
Charges at registration constitute a contract and obligate the registrant for full payment. Because University costs are committed on a yearly basis, the following credit schedule has been established so the University and the student may share the tuition loss equitably if the student withdraws. Fees are generally non-refundable. Students receiving Title IV financial aid who withdraw entirely are subject to a supplemental financial aid prorated refund policy. Please address questions to the Student Financial Aid office.
If the financial aid package is not equal to or in excess of estimated charges, the student will be required to enter in a payment plan agreement as noted above.
Tuition credit will be made according to the date of official application for withdrawal on the following table:
Within the first week of the semester - 90% credit
Within the second and third weeks of semester - 60%credit
Within the fourth and fifth weeks of semester - 30% credit
After the fifth week of semester - NO CREDIT
For Interterm and Summer School:
Within the first day - 90% credit
Within the second and third days - 60% credit
Within the fourth and fifthdays - 30% credit
After the fifth day - NO CREDIT
Credit indicated above is percentage of entire contract, not percentage of amounts paid to date of withdrawal.
