The West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission regulations require the University to operate strictly on a cash basis with all payments and obligations being collected in advance. All tuition and fees must be collected in full for each semester on enrollment (registration) day.
If payment is made by check, registration will be considered incomplete until the check covering the required fees has cleared the bank on which it is written. The cashier will accept cash, money orders, credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, or Discover), or approved personal checks written for the exact amount of the obligation. All checks must be payable to Shepherd University, and third-party checks will not be accepted. A student’s registration may be cancelled when payment is made by a check, which is dishonored by the bank. If the return check is in payment of tuition and fees, the business office is required to declare the fees unpaid and registration cancelled. The return of a check for any reason constitutes late registration, and the applicable late-registration fee shall be assessed In such case the student may be reinstated upon redemption of the unpaid check, payment of the $20 returned-check handling charge, and payment of the applicable late fee of $25. The returned-check fee of $20 will be collected for each check returned unpaid by the bank upon which it is drawn, unless the drawer obtains an admission of error from the bank.
All student charges are payable at the time of registration for each semester. Students in debt to the University from a previous semester or term will not be permitted to enroll until all obligations are paid. Any outstanding and unpaid financial obligation to the University can result in withholding the student’s grades, transcript of credits, diploma, and official reports. Students will not be permitted to attend classes until registration has been completed.
If a student has a short-term loan or has had any other outstanding financial obligation with Shepherd University and has defaulted, i.e., the student’s account has been referred to an attorney, the magistrate’s court, or a collection agent, the student will not be eligible to borrow short-term loans in the future.
