A contract fee of $50 is required at the time of enrollment and is nonrefundable. Generally there are two plans offered (Partial Financial Aid and Non-Financial Aid). The payment plan is available for the Fall and Spring terms. Failure to pay the deferred balance by the due dates will result in a late fee of 5%, collection activity, holds placed on the student account and may prevent future eligibility of the payment plan.

Consequences of Delinquent Accounts

Determining Student Refunds

Financial Aid will not take care of parking violations and/or student housing and academic hold payments.

After the student’s account charges have been cleared, any remaining credit balances (overpayment) will be refunded to the student.

Financial Aid Refund Process/Procedures

Financial Aid recipients should receive their financial aid overages (refunds) between the fifth and sixth week of the semester. This allows the Financial Aid office time to verify the number of credit hours in which you enrolled and attended. Financial Aid eligibility will be paid based on the actual number of fundable credit hours students are registered in at the end of the third full week of the Fall/Spring semesters.

A credit balance is the result of an overpayment on a student’s account from Financial Aid. Loans, Pell Grant, SEOG, Athletic Scholarships, Academic Scholarship, and etc. Credit balance refunds will be processed when a credit actually exists on the student’s account. Anticipated Financial Aid must be posted to the student’s account in order for a credit to exist and for a refund to be processed.
