PAYMENT OF FEES

Tuition fees for a regular semester, a Summer Term, an Intersession, and any special class are due and payable to the Office of the Bursar in accordance with dates established and listed in the Marshall University Schedule of Courses, published by the Office of the Registrar for each term of enrollment. If you do not pay your enrollment fees on or before the due date, your registration will be cancelled and you will be subject to withdrawal from the university (see Withdrawal/Reinstatement Policy below). Do not depend on receiving a bill from the university in the mail. It is always your responsibility to know when enrollment fees are due and to pay them by that time. If you have not paid your enrollment fees by the official due date you must obtain permission from the appropriate academic dean and the Office of the Registrar to register.

Student deferred payment plans for tuition will be offered for the fall and spring semester. All available financial aid from the term must be credited to the student's account prior to determining the amount available for deferral. Contact the Office of the Bursar for current deferred payment plan information. A student's residence services fees (room and board) are due at a semester rate payable in accordance with dates established by the Office of Residence Services.

You can pay fees by VISA or MasterCard or Discover by telephoning (800) 696-MILO or (304) 696-MILO. Credit card payments are also accepted at the Office of the Bursar, 101 Old Main, and online at www.marshall.edu/milo.

If you are a recipient of financial aid through the university's loan or scholarship program, the university's Department of Intercollegiate Athletics, or any governmental agency, or by private loan or scholarship, you must complete arrangements for payment through the Director of Student Financial Aid in 116 Old Main, and the University Bursar in 101 Old Main. (See Student Financial Assistance below.)

Your registration is not complete until all fees are paid.

Your registration will be cancelled if the bank does not honor your check for payment of registration fees. A charge of $15.00 will be made for each check returned unpaid by the bank.

A student who has a financial obligation to the university cannot engage in any registration activity until the obligation is paid.

A student who withdraws from the institution by following proper withdrawal procedures will receive refunds of fees paid in accordance with the refunding policy.

A student who is required to withdraw from the institution for disciplinary reasons may not receive refunds of fees paid.

WITHDRAWAL/REINSTATEMENT POLICY FOR NONPAYMENT OF ENROLLMENT AND RESIDENCE HALL FEES

1. Through late registration each semester, a schedule of withdrawal for nonpayment will be included in the Marshall University Schedule of Courses. Following late registration, the Bursar will send written notification to the student advising of administrative withdrawal for nonpayment of Enrollment or Residence Hall Fees.

2. Upon notice from the Bursar, the Registrar will initiate a complete withdrawal for a student not paying fees. The withdrawal will be for "Administrative-Nonpayment of Enrollment or Residence Hall Fees."

3. The Registrar will notify the instructor that the student should not be permitted to continue attendance in the class.

4. If the student fulfills the financial obligation, the Bursar's Office will notify the student and his/her academic dean. The academic dean will have discretion to approve registration. If the dean approves, the student, the instructors, and the Registrar will be notified in writing immediately.

5. Upon receipt of notice from the academic dean, the Registrar will initiate the procedure to register the student in the courses for which the student was enrolled at the time of withdrawal.

6. A student who does not meet the financial obligation for enrollment and residence hall fees will have all entries of that registration erased on the Registrar's permanent record.

7. A student who owes a financial obligation to the university will not be permitted to enroll in subsequent semesters or terms until the obligation is paid.

8. If a student disputes an administrative withdrawal, he/she may file an appeal with the Student Grievance Board through the Office of Student Affairs. (The Student Grievance Board is a subcommittee of the Student Conduct and Welfare Committee). This appeal must be filed before the effective date of withdrawal established by the Bursar. The administrative withdrawal will be suspended until the President of the University acts upon the recommendation of the Student Grievance Board.
   

WITHDRAWAL/REINSTATEMENT FOR OTHER FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS

1. Failure to fulfill other types of financial obligations with proper procedure may result in administrative withdrawal from the university.

2. Upon notice from the Bursar, the Registrar will initiate a complete withdrawal for a student not paying financial obligations. The withdrawal will be `'Administrative-Nonpayment of Financial Obligations'' and will be dated with the effective date of processing of the withdrawal.

   Under these conditions, procedures will be followed as outlined above, items 3, 4, & 5, under "Withdrawal/Reinstatement Policy for Nonpayment of Enrollment and Residence Hall Fees."

3. Students who do not meet these `'Other Financial Obligations'' and who are administratively withdrawn from the university will receive the grade determined by the withdrawal policy in effect at the time the administrative withdrawal was initiated.

4. A student who owes other types of financial obligations to the university will not be permitted to enroll in subsequent semesters until the obligation is paid.

5. If a student disputes an administrative withdrawal, he/she may file an appeal with the Student Grievance Board through the Dean for Student Affairs.

The administrative withdrawal will be suspended until the President of the University acts upon the recommendation of the Student Grievance Board.
   

REFUND PROCEDURES

Enrollment fees (tuition fees) will be refunded during the period designated by the Office of the Registrar for Registration, Late Registration, and Schedule Adjustments for a regular semester or a summer term and published in the Marshall University Schedule of Courses Bulletin. Enrollment fees (tuition fees) will be refunded to students for:

1. Classes officially dropped from the student's course schedule that reduce the student's total scheduled semester hours from full-time status to part-time status. Example: Undergraduate enrollment dropping of classes to adjust course schedule from 12 or more hours to fewer than 12 hours.

2. Classes officially dropped from the student's course schedule when the enrollment is in a current part-time status that reduce the student's total scheduled semester hours. Example: Undergraduate enrollment dropping of classes to adjust course schedule from 11 hours to 10 hours to 9 hours, etc.

3. Official complete withdrawals from all classes from the student's course schedule. Example: Undergraduate withdrawal from enrollment of 12 or more hours to 0 hours, 11 hours to 0 hours, 10 hours to 0 hours, etc.

4. Title IV Financial Aid recipients who officially withdraw before or during their period of enrollment shall have their refund calculated in accordance with the provisions contained in the 1998 amendments to the federal Higher Education Act. See the following section.

Return of Title IV Funds Policy

Federal regulations require Marshall University to have a written policy for the refund and repayment of federal aid received by students who withdraw during a term for which payment has been received. These policies are effective only if a student completely terminates enrollment (i.e., cancels his/her registration, withdraws, or is dismissed) or stops attending classes before completing 60% or more of the enrollment period. Students planning to terminate enrollment at Marshall University should contact the Office of the Registrar, Old Main Room 106 to complete the appropriate paperwork.

Adjustments to tuition and/or applicable institutional room/board charges resulting from official terminations are based on the effective date of termination and in accordance with the federally mandated calculation as specified in Section 484B of the Higher Education Act. This law also specifies the order of return of Title IV funds to the programs from which they were awarded.

The calculation is based on the period of enrollment completed. That percentage is computed by dividing the total number of calendar days in the term into the number of calendar days completed as of the date of student notification. The percentage of Title IV assistance to which the student is entitled (has "earned") is equal to this percentage of the term completed up to 60%. If the resignation occurs after 60% of the term is completed, the percentage is equal to 100%.

The amount of Title IV aid which must be returned is based on the percentage of "unearned" aid. That percentage is computed by subtracting earned aid from 100%. The University is required to return the lesser of 1) the unearned aid percentage applied to institutional charges or 2) the unearned aid percentage applied to the total Title IV aid received.

The student is required to return the difference between the amount of unearned aid and the amount returned by the university. The student will be billed for the amount the student owes the Title IV programs and any amount due the university resulting from the return of Title IV funds used to cover university charges. If the student (or parent(s) in the case of PLUS loan) is required to return a portion or all of their loan proceeds, the calculated amount is to be repaid according to the loan's terms. Students must return only half the amount of grant funds calculated as a repayment due.

Funds are returned to the following Title IV sources in order of priority: :

1. Unsubsidized Federal Direct Loans
2. Subsidized Federal Direct Loans
3 Federal Perkins Loans
4. Federal Direct PLUS Loans
5. Federal Pell Grants
6. Federal SEOG

Cancellation of Class

When it becomes necessary to cancel a class by administrative and/or faculty action, a student is granted a full refund of the fee for the class cancelled unless he/she registers in another course of like value in terms of semester hours. This action does not apply to withdrawals due to disciplinary action or withdrawals due to nonpayment of financial obligations.

Residence Services

Request for withdrawal from Marshall University on-campus housing must be addressed in writing to the Department of Residence Services. Refunds, if applicable, will be based on the date cancellations are received.

Fall cancellations must be received before July 1, and Spring or Summer cancellations must be received ten (10) business days or more prior to the official opening date of Housing, in order to receive deposits back. Voluntary withdrawal following these dates and prior to the opening of residence halls will result in a full refund less one hundred dollars ($100.00) reservation deposit.

Withdrawal between the opening day for Housing and the first Friday will result in a refund of fifteen weeks' room and board.

Withdrawals after the first Friday will result in a forfeiture of monies paid for room.

A prorated refund will be processed for any unused portion of the Board plan.

Students whose residency is terminated automatically forfeit all monies paid for that semester.

Students who are denied admission, declared academically ineligible to return, or are unable to return for medical reasons, will be refunded on a prorated basis.

Refunds to students called to armed services of the enrollment fee only will be processed in accordance with policy established by the Office of the Registrar.

Late fees are nonrefundable.
