Payment and Billing Statement
Your Bill On-line with Credit Card or E-Check Payment here
All charges due to the University must be paid in full by the payment due date published each semester. Students enrolled and current with the tuition payment plan or those waiting for accepted and completed financial aid to be credited to their student account are able to defer that portion of their balance to be paid directly to the University. (For further information about the Tuition Management Systems payment plan, TMS's toll-free telephone number is (800) 722-4867; you can also access TMS’s web site at http://www.afford.com/cua.) No student is considered registered until the appropriate academic dean has approved registration and all past and current financial obligations have been met. Satisfactory payment includes paying the total charges, being current with payments on the tuition payment plan, or completing all financial aid forms and waiting for accepted financial aid to be credited. Incomplete financial aid awards are considered to be late payments. Additional charges will be assessed to the student's account for checks returned by the bank for insufficient funds or stop payments. The University reserves the right to require all charges to be prepaid in full if the account has a history of delinquency.
If a student's account becomes delinquent, current students will not be allowed to register for the next semester and graduating students will not receive a transcript or a diploma. In addition, a delinquency report may be filed with a credit bureau and the student will be responsible for all collection costs, including penalties, interest, attorney's fees and court costs. These costs add OVER 33-1/3% to the balance due. If the University allows a student to pay by credit card, it reserves the right to charge handling fees to the student. For more information, please contact.
Registration and payment must be completed by:
Monday, May 19, for First Sessions (15 and 16)
Monday, June 30, for Second Sessions (25 and 26).
Special Sessions (those beginning with 9), payment by 1st day of session.
~If you fail to withdraw from any class, you will be charged full tuition and related fees, whether or not you attend the class~
Students receiving Title IV financial aid are subject to federal program refund policies. The university will follow refund procedures outlined in the Reauthorization of the Higher Education Amendments, which was signed into law in October 1998. Information on the refund formula is available in the Financial Aid Office. For more information please refer to counsel.cua.edu/StudLife/publications/consumerinfo.cfm
In case of withdrawal, the following is the refund allowed on tuition and room during the summer sessions:
- Within the first three days of the official beginning of the session - 100 percent
- After the first three days of the official beginning of the session - zero
The Office of Student Accounts will determine if a fee refund is due and will credit your student account. The Financial Aid Office will establish whether any amount is to be repaid to financial aid sources and will transmit that information to the Student Account Office. This process in most cases will result in a balance you will have to pay back to the school. If the balance includes a Pell Grant, SEOG, Perkins Loan, or Stafford Loan you will be ineligible for Title IV aid until satisfactory payment arrangements have been made with Student Accounts.
The Office of Financial Aid, Room 6, McMahon Hall, is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Thursday and 9 a.m.-12 p.m. Friday. Students not admitted in previously semester to a degree-seeking program or eligible certificate program are not eligible to apply for assistance from any federal aid programs in the Summer but may apply for credit-based loan financing from a limited number of lenders. If you wish to apply for a credit-based commercial loan please complete a summer financial aid application. Upon receipt of the completed application, the Office of Financial Aid will determine your Expected Cost of Attendance (COA) and that amount would be the maximum amount for which you may seek financing. Currently Nellie Mae and CitiAssist are two largest lenders providing non-degree commercial education loans to Catholic University students. Students are responsible for contacting the lender of their choice to initiate the loan process. The lender will send the Office of Financial Aid a loan certification request once they have approved the student loan application. Students may start to submit the summer aid application beginning April 1st but should submit the application no latter then April 15th so funds for approved loans may be disbursed prior to the beginning of classes. Please visit http//financialaid.cua.edu to obtain a printable copy of the Summer financial aid application.
Students who fail to meet the deadline are subject to a late payment fee of $60.
