How will I pay for my education?
A college education is an investment in your future. Many employers offer tuition reimbursement. There also are limited financial aid opportunities for adult students, mostly in the form of student loans. You should check with your employer and Financial Aid Office, at Stevenson University, for a financial plan that best meets your needs. We also offer several deferred payment options.
What if I have not received my financial aid award by the tuition due date?
If this happens, you must choose an alternative payment method. You may pay by cash, check, money order, credit card, or you may enroll in a personal deferment plan for a fee.
What if my employer is paying my tuition?
If you employer is paying the school directly, then either payment or a billing authorization from the employer is due by the payment due date. Stevenson University will not accept a billing authorization if payment from the employer is contingent upon grades. If this is the case, the student is responsible to pay the tuition up front.
Where do I get a tuition deferment form?
What if my payment/deferment payment plan form is not received by the due date?
If this happens, a late fee of $25 is charged to your account, your account will be flagged and you will not be able to register for future classes until payment is received. Deferment contracts are not accepted after the payment due date.
What if my account is flagged for non-payment?
If this happens, a late payment fee of $25 is charged to your account and you will not be able to register for future classes until payment is received. You will be permitted to register again after the late fee and past due balance is paid.
What if I drop a class?
A portion of your tuition may be refundable, please see the enrollment calendar for the refund percentages and dates. Dropping a class may affect your financial aid. Please contact the Financial Aid Office to determine the impact.
I dropped a class. Can I transfer my deferment fee to another class?
Deferment fees are not transferable or refundable.
When are refunds issued?
Refunds are issued within two weeks after the funds are posted to your account. Your account can be checked through WebXpress.
What if I need a copy of my transcripts before my sponsor pays my tuition?
Official transcripts will not be released until tuition is paid in full.
What if I have registered for classes after the billing date?
A bill will not be mailed to you. You must log onto WebXpress to view your account balance. Payment must be made by the due date referenced on the enrollment calendar.
How do I get a book voucher?
Book vouchers are no longer issued through the Office of Student Accounts. You are eligible for a book voucher if your financial aid is in excess of your tuition balance. If you have excess funds on your student account, the funds will be transferred to an account on your vjOne card approximately two weeks prior to the start of the semester.
How does a book voucher work?
The student takes his/her vjOne card to the bookstore. The bookstore will swipe the card and will record the students name and the quantity of the available funds. The book voucher account will remain open and books can be purchased against it for the first three weeks of the semester or until the voucher balance is zero. After the voucher period closes, about three weeks into the semester, any unused funds are transferred back to the student account.
