91ºÚÁÏÍø Statement of Financial Responsibility for Dual-Credit Courses

Payment of Fees

All fees are due and payable to the university and are the student’s responsibility to pay as the result of registration or other activity that incurred charges to the student, including parking, library and 91ºÚÁÏÍø Bookstore charges. High school college partnership (HSCP) students require parental permission to take classes; the responsibility for payment is shared equally by the parent or guardianwho signs the permission and enrollment form. Students who register for an HSCP class are required to pay for the class, even if they later opt not to take the class for college credit. All payments received are final: no changes or adjustments are allowed to the payment amount once the payment has been processed. Reassessment of fees will still occur based on the established reassessmentand fee waiver schedule. 

Payment Methods

• Online prepayment is available before the first billing date each semester. Visit the HSCP website and select Prepay Dual Credit Tuition.
• E-check (ACH) can be made for the amount due by logging into and navigating to TouchNet. There is no processing fee associated with electronic check payments. A $25 returned check fee will be charged for any electronic checks that are not honored by your bank.
• Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express payments up to the amount due may be submitted in TouchNet. A 3% (or minimum of $3.00) convenience fee will apply to the transaction. Refunds of credit card payments will be issued back to the credit card.

Returned Checks

Any check or e-check not honored by your bank will result in a $25 returned check fee. If the returned check was written to pay a prior term balance, your classes may be subject to cancellation. Any checks written to 91ºÚÁÏÍø for other departments may be charged to your student account and billed by the Cashiers Office. Such charges will incur all related billing fees. The university reserves the right to suspend or deny check-writing and electronic check privileges to any student, parent or responsible party with repeated returned or not honored payment transactions.

Billing and Monthly Payment Plan

HSCP students will receive a mailed statement of their balance once their enrollment is finalized. Statements are mailed to the student’s attention (not the parentor guardian) at the address the student provides on their enrollment forms. Statements are typically sent with a 20-25 day lead time and payments typically are due on the 20th of the month. View important dates and deadlines on the HSCP website.

It is the student’s responsibility to keep their billing address up to date with the 91ºÚÁÏÍø Cashiers and Collections Office.  The student can also view their billing statements on .

The student is billed for the full account balance for each payment date. However, a minimum payment amount is allowed. The minimum payment amount is derived by dividing the current term charges by the number of scheduled payment dates remaining in the semester, and adding the total of any previous semester remaining balance. The required minimum payment must be made by the due date to avoid late fees. You may pay the total minimum due or any amount greater than the required minimum. Any payment amount less than the total adjusted account balance will result in a 1% monthly finance charge on the unpaid remainder.

Monthly Late Payment Fees and Finance Charges

Student accounts will be subject to a $25 monthly late fee every billing period when payment is not received and processed by the scheduled due date as communicated on the student’s monthly billing statement. Payments need to be received by no later than the 20th of each month to avoid a late charge.

The university will assess a monthly 1% finance charge on any account that remains unpaid after the payment due date. A finance charge is assessed on any remaining adjusted amount due after the payment due date; therefore, it is to the advantage of the student to avoid finance charges by paying the account balance in full.

Fee Reassessment and Fee Waiver Deadlines for Adding or Dropping Classes and Cancellation or Withdrawal from School

Fees will be reassessed for students who officially cancel classes, withdraw from the university or add or drop classes. Such fees are reassessed and reduced in accordance with the withdrawal schedule for each term.

Withdrawal Requirements

All HSCP classes are for college credit and have an associated cost of attending. It is the student’s responsibility to formally notify HSCP of their intention to withdraw from any college credit class. The student must follow proper procedures when withdrawing from the university. Failure to pay fees, failure to receive financial aid, failure to attend class or refusing financial aid does not constitute an official withdrawal from the university.

Financial Holds

Any student who owes a balance to the university will be unable to receive a copy of a transcript or diploma until that balance is paid in full and will have a financial hold assigned to prevent a transcript or diploma from being issued. If payment is not received by the due date communicated on your monthly billing statement, an additional financial hold will be assigned and may prevent enrollment in the current or future semesters. Students may contact the 91ºÚÁÏÍø Cashiers Office for instructions on how to remove holds or request extended payment terms.

Prepayment Acceptance and Eligibility

Acceptance of prepayment does not guarantee enrollment. Students must meet all enrollment requirements and resolve any outstanding University enrollment holds including, but not limited to: financial, academic or library holds prior to being enrolled in classes.

Right to Modify

The university reserves the right to modify by increase or decrease the fees charged for attendance and other services at the university, including but not limited to educational fees, at any time when in the discretion of the governing board the same is in the best interest of the university, provided that no increases can or will be effective unless approved by the governing board not less than 30 days prior to the beginning of the academic semester or term to which the fees are applicable, with all modification of fees to be effective irrespective as to whether fees have or have not been paid by or on behalf of a student prior to the effective date of the modification.

Bankruptcy

Educational debt and related fees are generally nondischargeable in bankruptcy and will still be owed after the bankruptcy has closed. Except in certain limited situations, this means that a student, parent or responsible party will still owe this debt to the university after the bankruptcy. I understand and agree that my registration and acceptance of the terms of this Statement of Financial Responsibility constitutes a promissory note (i.e. a financial obligation in the form of an educational loan as defined by the U.S. Bankruptcy Code at 11 U.S.C. §523(a)(8)) in which the university is providing me educational services, deferring some or all of my payment obligations for those services.  

HSCP Tuition Assistance

Tuition assistance is available for two separate categories: financial need and merit. To request this assistance, students participating in the HSCP program must demonstrate a genuine financial need or high academic performance and agree to pay the remaining balance of the tuition during the semester the course is offered. To be considered for tuition assistance, the student must submit a request for tuition assistance form, found on the HSCP website, to the HSCP office by the registration deadline. Receiving tuition assistance in the past does not guarantee tuition assistance for the current semester.
