Tuition and Fees

Cashier's Office, LSB 1st Floor, (808) 675-3718

Tuition and class fees are paid by the first day of classes each semester or term. (See the current Academic Calendar for deadline dates.) Students who fail to pay tuition by this day will be subject to a late fee penalty and will jeopardize their eligibility to enroll for subsequent semesters or terms.

Any prior unpaid student account charges must be cleared before a new registration may be completed. Tuition and fees payment must be tendered in U.S. dollars.

Students who decide not to return should contact the Discontinuance Office (MCK 181, [808] 675-3558) to drop all classes. Discontinuance must be completed prior to the first day of classes to avoid a late tuition payment fee and/or withdrawal fee. Tuition will be charged from the first day of classes to the date the discontinuance office is notified at the percentage rate listed under the Refund Schedule that follows on the next page. Those who do not drop their classes will retain them on their records and will be charged tuition. Once students register for classes, they are officially enrolled and committed to attend.

Students may add or drop classes on the Web through the first week of school. Students cannot drop all their classes on the Web if they decide not to attend. Students who anticipate receiving financial aid will be held responsible to pay tuition charges by the deadline date whether financial aid is available or forfeited. Questions regarding tuition and fee assessment should be addressed to the Business Office ( Administration Building). The university reserves the right to change tuition and fees without notice.

The charge for noncredit courses or for auditing courses is the same as for credit courses. Full-time status (for tuition assessment) for all undergraduate students is registration for 12 or more credit hours per semester or for 6 or more credit hours per term.

Part-time status (for tuition assessment) for all undergraduate students is registration for less than 12 credit hours per semester or less than 6 credit hours per term. The tuition paid as a part-time undergraduate student does not entitle the student to health service, student activity privileges, or physical education suit and facility privileges.

*A significant portion of the cost of operating the university is paid from the tithes of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Therefore, students and families of students who are tithe-paying members of the Church have already made a contribution to the operation of the university. Because others will not have made this contribution, they are charged a higher tuition, a practice similar in principle to that of state universities charging higher tuition to nonresidents.

** Students will be designated as advanced standing once they accumulate 150 earned semester hours of credit, subtracting all EIL credit. All exceptions to this policy will be made by the Academic Exceptions Committee. Students who apply for post-graduate professional certification programs will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

Tuition payments are due the first day of class. Payments made after the first day of class will be charged a $50 late fee.

Any student whose check is dishonored by his or her bank will be charged a handling fee of $20. If the check is for tuition, there will be an additional charge of the late fee at the time the check is redeemed. Check-cashing privileges may be terminated at the discretion of the Director of Financial Services.

After the semester begins, a part-time student who increases the number of credit hours must pay for these additional hours on the day they are added. A full-time student dropping to part-time or a part-time student who decreases credit hours may be entitled to a tuition refund. A full refund will be allowed through the first week of classes for the difference between the number of credits the student starts with and the number of credits the students carry. Refunds for courses dropped after the first week will be subject to the refund schedule listed below. Any unpaid charges or encumbrances will be deducted from any refund to a student due to a tuition adjustment.

In the event of withdrawal by a student, tuition will be refunded on the following basis:

Calendar days after first day of class

The refund will be calculated based on the day that the withdrawal form is submitted to the Registrar's Office with clearance signatures from Discontinuance Office. A withdrawal fee of $10 will be charged to process all applications for early withdrawal. No refund of scholarships or awards will be granted to a student. Class fees are also refunded on a pro-rata basis using the schedule above unless the fees are for materials provided at the beginning of class in which case no refund will be provided to students who received such materials.

Students financing tuition and fees through University financial aid programs will have aid programs credited according to the refund schedule. If a student discontinues or drops in status from full-time to part-time and has received a Stafford Loan (formerly called a Guaranteed Student Loan) or a Pell Grant, federal regulations may require the school to return a portion of any refund to the appropriate lending institution or Pell Grant Account.

Any unpaid charges or encumbrances will be deducted from the refund amount due any student who withdraws. Any refund due a student because of withdrawal from school will be made only by check through the mail, approximately four weeks from the date on which the withdrawal was reported by the Discontinuance Office.

BYUH requires all full-time students (12 credit hours or more for a semester; 6 credit hours for a term) to carry adequate medical insurance. This applies the entire time a student has continuing status, including students taking a semester or term off. All participants in groups on tour, study abroad, or internships are required to carry adequate medical insurance.

Enrollment in the BYUH Student Health Plan satisfies the university's insurance requirement, as does enrollment in a group medical plan provided by an employer or a spouse's or parent's employer. Any other medical insurance plan must meet the following requirements:

• provide at least 70 percent coverage for all major medical expenses, including physician, hospital, and ancillary services;
• have an individual annual deductible of no more than $500; and
• have an annual plan limit of no less than $25, 000.

Full-time students must enroll in the BYUH Student Health Plan or provide verification of other adequate insurance coverage when first enrolling at BYUH and prior to the beginning of fall semester each year thereafter. Students who do not return a properly completed waiver form to the BYUH Insurance Office will be automatically enrolled in and assessed the appropriate premium (single or married student rate) for the BYUH Student Health Plan. The insurance fee payment is due by the first day of class each semester and term.

The University has established the following financial policies relating to the collection of tuition, fees, housing and other charges from students.

Statements will be mailed to each student at their current mailing address.

These statements will show the status of the student's account, including charges, payments received, past due amounts, service charges, and loans. These statements do not relieve the student from making required payments by the deadlines listed in this catalog.

All payments must be paid in U.S. currency and be received by BYUH by the deadline dates listed in the Academic Calendar in this catalog. They may be paid online or to the BYUH Cashier's Office either in person or by mail but must be received on or before the deadline dates.

If paying by mail, allow enough time for the mail to get to BYUH. Send a check or money order. Do not send cash by mail. Payments can also be made by bank credit card online, in person at the Cashiers Office, or over the phone. Credit cards accepted: Visa, MasterCard, and American Express.

If an unsatisfactory financial relationship occurs because of unpaid fees, fines, loans, housing, returned checks, loss of property or breakage, the following recourse may be taken by the University:

1. The student will not be allowed to advance register for future semesters/terms if he/she has past due balances.
2. Cancellation of registration. This includes (a) the cancellation of registration when debts become past due after the registration has taken place, and (b) requiring students with bad debt history to pay in full for tuition and other charges in advance before being allowed to register.
3. Withholding of academic credit. No transcript of credits, recommendation, registration or readmission to the University will be allowed until the obligation is cleared.
4. In the event students become delinquent in the payment of their financial obligations BYUH may assess (a) a financial charge in the amount of 1% per month against all unpaid debts over thirty days old, (b) all late charges, and (c) all costs of collection incurred by BYUH including reasonable costs, expenses and attorney's fees incurred in collecting the debt.

The above steps may be taken by the Director of Financial Services without further notice if a satisfactory arrangement is not made after the student has once been notified regarding his or her financial responsibility.
