At Heritage University, the development of a strong sense of financial responsibility is considered to be an integral part of a basic education which prepares the student to be a responsible citizen of the world community.

Students requiring financial assistance from the University must contact the Financial Aid Office before attempting to complete registration. Financial aid arrangements should be made at least three months before the first registration to ensure timely credit to your student account. Registration is not officially completed until all financial arrangements have been approved.

The University reserves the right to withhold statements of honorable dismissal, transcripts, records, diplomas, and to deny registration until all University charges have been paid and the student's account is cleared.  Further, the University reserves similar rights if any student loan account (including NDSL and Perkins Loans) is in a past due or delinquent status.

Tuition and fee rates are approved by the Board of Directors. The University reserves the right to change the fee schedule and tuition rates for a given term without prior notice.

PAYMENT
All charges are due and payable at the time of registration; however, deferred payment plans may be approved by the Business Office. The University reserves the right to deny students permission to register for another semester if any part of the account for the preceding semester(s) remains unpaid. Seniors must clear accounts one month prior to graduation date.

DEFERRED PAYMENT PLAN REQUIREMENTS

2.   If financial aid has been awarded, a copy of the award letter must be attached to the registration along with the completed Education Loan form.
3.   If there is insufficient or no financial aid awarded at the time of registration, a payment of one-third of the tuition must be paid at registration.  The remaining two-thirds will be paid in three equal payments in accordance with the Education Loan form.
4.   Billings are sent monthly, on or about the 20th.
5.   Late payments on a deferred tuition education loan shall be assessed a $25.00 fee. Interest of 1.5% per month on the unpaid balance at the end of the semester shall be charged until the account is cleared.
6.   Payments over 45 days delinquent are cause for the student to be dropped from classes.
7.   Registrations of less than 3 credit hours are not eligible for the deferred payment plan.
8.   A $25.00 administrative fee per semester is charged for using the deferred payment system.

REFUNDS
