Payment
Enrollment fees for a regular fall/spring semester and summer semesters are due and payable to the Business Office by the dates established and listed on the schedule of classes by semester located HERE on the Shepherd University website.
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 from 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 before determining the amount available for deferral. Contact the Business Office for current deferred payment plan information. If payment or a 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. 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.
