WHAT ARE THE
SEMESTER TUITION CHARGES?
Semester tuition is charged on a flat fee
basis for a registration of 15-18 semester
hours and on a semester hour basis for a
registration of less than 15 hours or for
each additional hour above 18 hours.
Noncredit course tuition is assessed
according to their load value given in
parentheses after actual hours. The same
rates apply to credit and audit hours.
Tuition on the flat fee basis is $1,050,
each hour up to a total registration of 15
hours is $70 per semester credit hour.
WHAT FEES SHOULD
I EXPECT TO PAY?
Most students will not
pay any fees at this point unless they are
planning to graduate this semester, late in
registering, withdrawing prior to the first
day of class, or are changing their
registration. See the University Catalog for
a list of fees and what they are for.
HOW CAN I
PAY ON MY ACCOUNT?
Tuition and fees may be paid
by cash, check, money order, MasterCard and
Visa. Checks and money orders should be made
payable to Living University. A check given
in payment of expenses which is returned by
the bank results in indebtedness to the
University and places the student’s
enrollment in jeopardy. Students who are
receiving financial assistance such as
scholarships, grants, etc., must have formal
authorization filed in the Business Office
prior to registration. The University does
not offer any deferred payment plans.
WHAT IF I
CAN'T MEET MY FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS TO THE
UNIVERSITY?
All amounts owed to the University,
including any deferred charges, are an
obligation of the student. Failure to meet
any financial obligation when it becomes
due, or to arrange for payment before due
date, is considered sufficient cause for
cancellation of registration, postponement
of graduation, or the holding of transcript
requests. Degrees, diplomas, or certificates
will not be granted nor will transcripts be
furnished until all financial obligations to
the University have been paid.
WHAT IS
THE UNIVERSITY REFUND POLICY?
A refund of tuition and fees
is made under the following circumstances:
-
A
100% refund of tuition and fees is
be made if the student officially
drops prior to the first day of
classes of the semester as noted in
the Academic Calendar. A student
officially withdrawing from the
University through the first class
day will be assessed a matriculation
fee of $20. Also, a student is
eligible for a 100% refund without a
matriculation fee if the course in
which the student is registered is
canceled.
-
A
90% refund of tuition only is made
if the student officially drops from
the course(s) prior to or on the
official 10% census point of the
semester. See Academic Calendar for
official dates.
-
A
50% refund of tuition is only made
if the student officially drops from
the course(s) after more than 10%
and through 25% point of the
semester.
-
Refunds are not made for withdrawals
after the 25% point of the semester.
See Academic Calendar for official
dates.
-
For courses beginning at times other
than the first week of the semester
refunds are prorated.
-
If
a student, having paid the required
tuition and fees for a semester,
dies during that semester (prior to
or on the last day of the semester
the student was attending) all
tuition and fees for that semester
may be refunded to the estate of the
deceased.
Tuition
refunds will be mailed to students or
credited to their credit cards. Except as
provided above student fees are
nonrefundable. Cancelling course enrollment
or withdrawing from a course requires full
repayment of Regents Scholarship funds. The
90% and the 50% tuition refund is computed
only on the net tuition charges made as if
the withdrawal had not taken place. For
example, if a course registration in a three
semester hour course results in a tuition
charge of $210 and a 50% Regents
Scholarship, then the net charge to the
student is $105. A withdrawal qualifying for
the 90% refund would be $94.50 and for the
50% refund $52.50.
