payment options

financial arrangements for all student charges should be made before classes start based on the published dates: fall - aug. 1 | spring - dec. 1 | summer - may 1. to meet the financial needs of our students and their families, lipscomb offers the following payment options. students who have not designated one of the following payment options will not be eligible to attend classes:

i. monthly payment plan

世界杯2022预选赛录像回放 offers monthly payment plan options that allow students to pay semester expenses with equal monthly payments ending in october (for fall), march (for spring) or july (for summer). the plans have a non-refundable enrollment fee of $60 per semester. payments are drafted on the 25th day of each month. note: payment plans will not include prior term charges.

ii. full pay

under this plan the entire balance (less any verified financial aid) is paid before classes begin based on the published dates. credit card and ach payments can be made online.

note: it is the student’s responsibility to make arrangements for all financial aid, outside scholarships, loans and payments prior to the beginning of the term. when calculating your full pay balance, do not deduct any estimated federal work study award.

financial responsibility

registration at the university is considered a binding contract. students are not permitted to register for classes or receive transcripts or a diploma until all financial obligations to the university are satisfied.

students are responsible for informing the registrar’s office of any change in billing address.

delinquent accounts

past due accounts are subject to interest at 1.5 percent per month (18 percent annually). failure to meet financial obligations to the university may result in the delinquent account being placed with a collection agency. students are responsible for reimbursing the university for the fees of any collection agency, which may be based on a percentage at a maximum of 33.3 percent of the debt, and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred in such collection efforts.

business office hold

students who have not satisfied their financial obligations will be placed on hold. students on a business office hold are not permitted to register for classes or receive transcripts or diploma.

title iv stipend policy

a stipend will be issued for any credit balance on a student account resulting from title iv funds no later than 14 days after the credit occurred. direct deposit is the preferred method.

refunds

i. tuition
refunds will be calculated based on the official date of drop or withdrawal as defined below:
•100 percent refund must drop or withdraw before the end of the equivalent of two weeks of class;
•no refund of tuition after the end of the equivalent of the second week of class; and
•refunds for non-traditional meeting times are based on the schedule above using equivalent weeks of class time rather than calendar weeks. for example, in a three-credit-hour class, 150 minutes of class time equals one week.

ii. housing fees
students who withdraw from the university on or before the end of the second week of classes will receive a full refund of housing fees.
• if a student officially withdraws after the second week and on or before the end of the fourth week of classes, a 50% refund of housing fees will be credited to the account. to be eligible for the room refund, the student must return the student id card, remove all belongings from the room, have no damage to the room, and follow check out procedures. (please refer to the “official withdrawal” section.)

• students who choose to move off campus after moving in to an assigned room but fail to properly notify the office of student life are not eligible for any refund of housing fees unless the student is forced to leave the assigned room for one of the following approved reasons:
1. medical reasons confirmed in writing by a licensed physician;
2. death of an immediate family member; or
3. extenuating circumstances affecting military personnel.
a prorated refund amount will be determined based on the date the appropriate information is received and accepted by the director of housing.

iii. refund of meal plan fees
only meal plan selections cancelled prior to the end of the second week of classes of any semester will be eligible for a refund, less any actual funds utilized (e.g, meal swipes, dining dollars, etc.) prior to that point.

dropping courses

during the official drop/add period, students are able to drop or add online. after that time, a drop/add form must be completed and accepted in the registrar’s office. the official drop date will be the faculty-reported last date of attendance/participation in the course.

adding courses

no reduction in tuition is provided for courses added at any time during the semester. before adding or dropping classes, students should ensure that they understand how the course load changes will affect their student account, including the impact on loans, scholarships, and grants as applicable.

official withdrawal

• students desiring to officially withdraw from the university must obtain a withdrawal form from the academic success center and supply all requested information and required signatures.

• the completed student withdrawal form and the student id card must be received in the business office before any eligible adjustments can be made to the student’s financial record.

• the official withdrawal date will be determined by the last date of attendance/participation policy as stated in the academic section of this catalog.

• the deadline for official withdrawal from the university is the last day of classes prior to the final exam period of each semester.

suspension, notice or withdrawal after the specified dates does not result in reduced charges or additional credits on the student bill.
