Payment Information

Overpayments

The University is required to refund overpayments to students resulting from Title IV Financial Aid payments in accordance with Federal Regulations. Students may elect to have their overpayment directly deposited into a checking or savings account.

Note: It is customary for students to borrow from several sources or to sign agreements with third-party payers such as the Armed Forces, State, or Federal governments to cover their educational costs as well as living expenses. The University realizes that payments are not always received in a timely fashion because of delays at the bank or governmental agencies. If the student finds that they will not have adequate resources for living expenses, a petition for an exception to our refund policy can be submitted. This petition will need to be evaluated by the Student Financial Services Center and must demonstrate financial hardship. The University will refund up to one (1) month of living expenses, as determined by the Student Financial Services Center, in anticipation of student loan and/or government checks.

Withdrawal Tuition Refund Policy

A student who intends to withdraw from the University will be required to go through the withdrawal process. They must first see their College's Academic Dean to obtain the necessary forms. Verbal notice is not sufficient. For purposes of computing refunds, the date of withdrawal recorded by the Dean after receipt of withdrawal forms will be used by Student Financial Services to compute any refunds due to the student.

Note: Refunds are not permitted for withdrawals during summer remedial courses.

Payment Options

Students may pay the college charges as they fall due each semester or in accordance with UNE's Monthly Payment Plan offered through Tuitionpay. They may also arrange to pay the total due using a mixture of these payment arrangements.

The payment dates in the UNE-sponsored payment plans cannot be deferred for the convenience of students using student loans or other tuition payment programs. Both long and short-term financial arrangements should be made far enough in advance to ensure payment on the required dates. Special problems or emergencies can be discussed with the Student Financial Services Center at any time.

Option I: Payment by Semester

Approximately six (6) weeks before the start of a semester, bills will be sent for the tuition, room and board, and fees. Payment of this bill is due by the start of the semester. The payment due is the total of all the semester charges less any previous payments or financial aid credits.

Option II: Monthly Payment Plans

The Ten (10)-Pay Payment Plan spreads the full-year charges over ten (10) months beginning June 1. This plan is offered through Tuitionpay and is designed to relieve the pressure of “lump sum” payments by spreading the cost over ten (10) months. There is an application fee. There are no interest charges.

In addition to these options for payment, 51С�Ƴ�accepts MasterCard, VISA, and Discover. Applicants are urged to apply by May 15. Applications made after the start of the program (June 1) must be accompanied by an initial payment sufficient to become current with the regular ten (10)-month payment schedule. Applications for the ten (10)-month plan will not be accepted after September 15.

Late Payment Charge

The balance due each semester will be considered overdue if not paid by the specified date, and any unpaid balance will be subject to a late charge of 12% per annum or 1% per month. Students with unpaid bills will not be able to register for courses, be placed on the official school roster, or attend classes until they have received clearance from the Student Financial Services Center. Students with overdue accounts are not eligible for academic credit, transcripts, or degrees.

Leave of Absence Tuition Credit Policy

In the event a student desires to apply for a leave of absence, a Leave Form must be submitted to their college's Academic Dean. The form will include the reason for leaving as well as the expected date of return. An approved leave of absence will result in credit toward the student’s tuition using the Withdrawal Tuition Refund Policy. Failure to return on the agreed on date will result in a withdrawal.

Refunds for Maryland Residents

MARYLAND

University of 51С�Ƴ�'s Refund Policy follows the Federal Return of Title IV Aid Refund Policy for Maryland residents. If a student withdraws from 51С�Ƴ�prior to the 60% point in the semester (based on calendar days from the first day of the semester through the last scheduled day of the semester), eligible charges due or paid will be refunded on a pro rata basis within forty (40) days of termination date. Some fees are non-refundable, and therefore, not pro-rated. Fees not refunded are General Service (one (1)-time fee), Application (one (1)-time fee), and Technology (charged each semester fee). Financial aid awarded (if any) will be returned to the federal, state and, University of 51С�Ƴ� programs on a pro-rata basis. Outside scholarship or non-federal loan assistance will not be returned unless specifically requested by the provider. After the sixty (60) percent point in the semester, financial aid will not be reduced for any withdrawal nor will any refund be granted. This policy applies to all university withdrawals whether student-initiated or administrative withdrawals. Students should note that withdrawal may or may not result in an actual refund of money to the student. Circumstances may occur in which the student still owes money to the University even after appropriate withdrawal credit.
