PAYMENTS & FEES

Tuition and fees are to be paid (or satisfactory arrangements made with the Office of Student Financial Affairs) by the first Friday of the quarter by following one of the steps below:

1. Pay total Tuition and Fees.

2. Complete a deferred payment plan contract.
This plan requires that 1/3 tuition, all fees, and a $15 service charge be paid on or before the first day of classes. Additional payments of 1/3 tuition are due on the fourth and eighth Monday of the quarter. Forms are available in the Office of Student Financial Affairs.

3. Use the Financial Aid Late Payment Option.
All students who have financial aid pending will be allowed to defer payment of that portion of tuition covered by the anticipated aid. In order to qualify for Financial Aid Late Payment students must have taken all steps required of them to receive the aid (i.e. completing applications for Stafford loan or additional institutional money and returning them to the Office of Student Financial Aid). The student must still complete steps 1 or 2 for any portion of Tuition and Fees not covered by the external aid.

Any exception to this policy must be approved in writing by the Associate Provost for Student Affairs.

Failure to follow one of the steps above will result in a $100 late fee. Students who choose the deferred payment plan contract and who fail to make a payment of the specified due dates will have until Friday of that week to satisfy their financial obligations without penalty. Failure to do so will result in a $50 late payment fee for each payment date missed.

At the end of the quarter those students who still have outstanding balances with Rush University, which are not covered by pending financial aid will:

- Not receive grades and/or transcripts.
- Be dismissed from on-campus housing.
- Lose all university privileges.
- Not be allowed to register for the following quarter.

LATE REGISTRATION FEE

Continuing students must register during the official two-week registration period. Students registering after the registration period ends will incur a $50 late registration fee.

A student who feels that there are mitigating circumstances as to why the late registration fee should not be applied must first appeal to his/her advisor. If the advisor deems that the information warrants repealing the late registration fee, the advisor must speak with the program director. If the program director concurs with the advisor, the program advisor will notify the Office of the Registrar in writing and the late fee will removed from the student's financial account by the Office of the Registrar and the Office of Student Financial Affairs.

Continuous Enrollment Fee

Students enrolled in a non-credit residency or academic enrichment program prior to receipt of their degree, must be registered for “Continuous Enrollment Fee” in order to retain their student status. Any degree/certificate student not taking courses but needing to replace an outstanding incomplete grade, must register for “Continuous Enrollment Fee” until the grade is satisfied. This fee also applies to graduate students who have completed all courses but have not had the dissertation accepted. Hospitalization or physician fees are not covered in this fee.

REFUNDS

Official withdrawal from a course or from the university entitles a student to a tuition refund according to the schedule below. No other fees are refundable. Official paperwork (i.e. drop form or withdrawal/leave of absence form) must be fully completed and submitted to the Office of the Registrar by Friday at 4:30 p.m. CST to be considered valid for that week's tuition refund.

The Office of Student Financial Affairs manages tuition refunds. The refund will be credited to the student's account (less any amount still owed for other charges) unless the student requests a check for the refund. Students are notified via Rush e-mail when overpayment checks are available in the Office of Student Financial Affairs.
