Payment
Enrollment fees for a regular fall/spring semester and summer semesters are due and payable to the Business Office in accordance with the dates established and listed on the Registration Instructions and Worksheet link found at www.shepherd.edu/registrar/class-schedule. The Business Office accepts cash, checks, and credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express as forms of payment. A $20 charge will be assessed on each check that is returned for “insufficient funds” unless the student can obtain an admission of error on the part of the bank.
Student deferred payment plans for tuition will be offered for the fall and spring semesters. All available financial aid from the term must be credited to the student’s account prior to determining the amount available for deferral. Contact the Business Office for current deferred payment plan information. If payment or deferred payment plan is not received before the due date, student registration will be canceled and subject to withdrawal from the university.
A student who has a financial obligation to the university will not be able to engage in any registration activity until all obligations are satisfied. Registration activity includes registering for a future term, acquiring grades, transcript of credits, diploma, and official reports. Additionally, failure to pay all financial obligations may result in debts being turned over to a collection agency.*
Student employees will be required to pay tuition and fees at the same time as other students.
*Special policy procedures and exemptions apply to certain students using VA education benefits.
Refund Policy
Students who initiate a complete withdrawal from the university may receive a reduction of tuition and fees in accordance with the schedules outlined below. Reductions are determined from the first day of the school term; the official withdrawal date is certified by the Registrar’s Office.
| During the first 10% of the term |
90% reduction |
| From 11% to 25% of the term |
75% reduction |
| From 26% to 50% of the term |
50% reduction |
| After 50% of the term |
No reduction will occur |
Should the percentage calculation identify a partial day, the entire day will be considered in the higher refund period.
