Payment Policies
All charges assessed by the university (tuition, fees, room and board) are payable on the assigned date that will be listed on the University of Mary academic calendar each fall and spring term.
Charges assessed for May Term and summer session will be due during the first week of each term. All financial obligations must be settled on the scheduled date. If the account is not settled on the scheduled date, the student's instructors will be notified, and the student may not be allowed to attend class or take final exams until settlement is made with the director of student accounts.
Students requesting deferments must make written arrangements with the Student Accounts Office prior to the designated due date. Students requesting deferments will be required to complete a payment arrangement form in the Student Accounts Office. All deferments will have to be settled prior to the end of the third month of each semester. If the account is not settled by the arranged date, the student's instructors will be notified, and the student will not be allowed to take final exams until settlement is made with the director of student accounts.
The university reserves the right to withhold transcripts and diplomas until all financial obligations have been met.
A full-time student is one carrying 12 or more credit hours per semester. Part-time students (those carrying less than 12 credit hours per semester) are charged on a per-credit-hour basis. Students auditing a course are charged per credit hour for a lecture course. A student enrolling only for the May Term or a summer session will be charged on a per-credit-hour basis. Students with a credit load over 18 semester hours are subject to an overload charge on a per-credit-hour basis. During May Term and summer sessions, a full-time undergraduate student is one carrying four or more credit hours per term.
Tuition paid by each matriculated student covers the costs of instruction, library services, and convocations. No additional fees are charged for these services.
For some classes there are special course laboratory fees and program fees in addition to regular tuition.
Expenses for housing, transportation, liability insurance related to student teaching, clinical experiences, practica, or internships are the responsibility of the student.
