QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY FINANCE POLICIES

• Payments can be made online, by mail or in-person. Online payments can be made via MasterCard, American Express, and Discover/Novus credit cards as well as ACH (i.e. bank-to-bank transfers). The University will not accept credit card payments over the telephone or in person at any office on campus. Mail or in-person payments can be made via cash, check, money order and wire.
• The Q-CARD is not an accepted form of payment for tuition and fees.
• Payment Plans are available for the Fall and Spring terms on both an annual and a semester basis. Plans are not available for the Summer terms.
• If anticipated or actual financial aid is not reflected on your statement, contact the Quinnipiac University Financial Aid Office at 203-582-8750.
• Full-time undergraduate students at the University must register, at a minimum, for a full-time course load of 12-16 credits per semester. Full-time undergraduate students registered for less than 12 credits will still be charged full-time tuition and fees even though they are registered for less than a full-time course load. If your circumstances prevent you from being a full-time student and registering for a full-time course load, please request an exemption by e-mailing the Bursar's Office at bursar@quinnipiac.edu noting the student's name, QU ID, email address, phone number, address and an explanation of the reasons for requesting a policy exemption. The deadline to file for this exemption is the beginning of the semester. NOTE: If you are a financial aid recipient, please contact the Financial Aid Office to find out if your financial aid will be affected by enrolling in fewer than 12 credits.
• Due dates for your Tuition & Fee Invoice can be found on the invoice itself or at Bursar Frequently Asked Questions.
• Payments received after the applicable due dates will be subject to a Late Fee. A Late Fee of 1% of the past due balance will be assessed monthly on any outstanding balance after the due date. Certain Employer Beneifit/reimbursement plans may also require a late payment penalty in addition to the 1% late fee for every month the payment is past due.
• Students will be responsible for the full amount invoiced unless they officially drop and/or withdraw within the refund period. Please refer to the links on the left for the applicable refund policy.
• Failure to attend classes or stopping attendance does not constitute an official drop. Students will still be responsible for the full amount of tuition and fees.
• Accounts with past due balances at the end of the semester will be transferred to University Collections. Collections accounts are charged the cost of collection, including litigation & court costs. Collections accounts may be reported to national credit bureaus.
• Once an account becomes past due, the University reserves the right to do the following:
  1. Place a Hold on all Transcripts.
  2. Place a Hold on all Grades.
  3. Place a Hold on Diplomas.
  4. Prohibit Students from Registering for Subsequent Semesters.
  5. Withdraw Students From Classes and Remove Resident Students from their Residence Hall.
  6. Prohibit students from working at a University sponsored job.
  7. For Residence Hall Students, Place a Hold on Meal Allowances, Prohibit Participation in the Room Reservation Lottery and Remove Students From Residence Halls.
• Withdrawal Policy - Students who wish to effect a withdrawal from a course must complete a withdrawal form online at the Registrar homepage at www.quinnipiac.edu/registrar. The date of withdrawal for purposes of calculating the refund is the date on which the students make a formal application at the Office of the Registrar.
• All refunds are based on the Quinnipiac University refund polcies, which can be found online at Withdrawal/Refund Policies.
