Payment of Tuition and Fees
All tuition and fees are due and payable as stated on the Bursar's webpage. Tuition and fees may be paid at the Office of the Bursar located on the first floor of Grimm Hall North (Rooms 103/104) or online through MyRecords. Failure to pay fees by the established deadlines will result in a Bursar hold and/or late fees and may cause the student to be dropped from all classes.
Bursar Holds (Financial) on Unpaid Balances and Registration
Students who are past due in any debt to the university will have a Bursar hold on their account. This type of hold prevents:
- Registering for future semesters or classes
- Making changes to a current class schedule
- Checking into campus housing
- Picking up a cap and gown and participating in commencement
- Conferring of degree and receiving a diploma
In addition, the student's meal plan may be deactivated.
Upon withdrawal from the university, accounts with outstanding balances will be transferred to CUI's collection department. Failure to pay past-due balances will result in the account being turned over to a collection agency. When the university is forced to turn the account to collections, the student shall be responsible for all additional costs of collection including attorney fees and costs. In the event of court action to enforce this agreement, the student shall be responsible for paying all court costs and fees, including attorney costs and fees.
Refund Policy
Cancellation of Enrollment
A student may terminate enrollment prior to the beginning of the semester by contacting the Office of the Registrar at registrar@cui.edu.
Students should not assume that the university will drop them for non-payment of fees or for non-attendance. In addition, students must drop/withdraw from classes by the published deadlines to avoid charges or to be eligible for a full or pro-rated refund.
Instructional Materials
Information about refund and book buy-back policies is available in Follett's Bookstore.
Refund After Classes Begin
Students who withdraw from school after classes begin may apply in the Office of the Bursar for refunds (i.e., tuition, room, board). The student is responsible to pay any outstanding charges to the university. Please visit the Office of the Bursar website for more information about the university’s refund policy.
Title IV Federal Funds: Tuition, Fees, Room and Board
- Tuition and Fees
Through Title IV, the university takes the responsibility, on behalf of the student, to credit the student’s account with federal funds to satisfy current charges for tuition and fees. - Room and Board
Through Title IV, excess federal funds creating a credit balance after tuition and fees are paid in full can be used to pay for room and board charges.
Note: Students become immediately responsible for the entire outstanding balance on their account that is not covered by financial assistance.
The Federal Title IV refund policy operates independently of CUI’s refund policy. A student who has received Title IV funds and withdraws from school may owe the university for expenses no longer covered by returned federal aid.
Any excess funds from disbursements of Title IV funds create a credit balance on the student’s account. The university must pay this final credit balance directly to the student or parent borrower as soon as possible, but no later than 14 days after one of the following, as agreed to on the Budgetary Agreement form:
- the beginning of the semester.
- after loan disbursement causing a credit balance.
- the date the school received notice from the student or parent borrower to cancel his/her authorization on a Budgetary Agreement form to have the school manage a credit balance.
