Personal Property and Liability

Students who need personal bank accounts are encouraged to use one of the local banks for checking and savings. The University is not responsible for the loss of personal property on the campus by fire or from any other cause. Students are advised to verify insurance coverage that may be extended from parents’ homeowners insurance. Students are responsible for all University property, materials, and equipment issued to them and will be charged for loss or breakage.

Health Services and Insurance

Health services are provided to students at the Health Services Center during regularly scheduled hours. Full-time students must show evidence of health insurance coverage (under parents’ coverage or self) or the student will be enrolled in an accident and sickness insurance plan and billed at the student’s expense. Health related expenses beyond services provided by the University Health Services Center are the responsibility of the student.

Payment of Student Accounts

Students may make advance payments to the University on their accounts for the coming year from their earnings during the spring and summer months. Funds are held in trust until classes begin and may be withdrawn or transferred by the student.

In June and in December, an official billing is sent to each student for the subsequent semester. Billed expenses are due by August 10 for the Fall semester and January 10 for the Spring semester. Students are not allowed to begin the semester unless full payment has been received.

Full-time students may make prior arrangements for installment payments through Tuition Management Systems, Inc. (TMS Plan) Students should join the TMS Plan by July so that initial required payments have been made. The TMS Plan enables the student to pay the Net Amount Due in ten monthly installments (July through April). (Except for a small application fee, there are no monthly interest charges.) The Net Amount Due represents the total annual charges, less any scholarships, grants, or loans confirmed by the financial aid office but not including estimated awards or anticipated earnings, such as work-study employment which cannot be considered until they are earned or finalized. The budgeted amount elected under TMS should be sufficient to cover both fall and spring semesters. The TMS Plan is available only to those who are U.S. residents and full-time students. Alternatively, the student may choose to arrange private financing for educational expenses through one of several private lenders. The financial aid office is able to provide information about such lenders.

Clearance To Attend Class

Students whose bills have been paid or who have made appropriate financial arrangements in advance may view and print their registration by using the website http://myinfo.huntington.edu.

Until all financial obligations are met, registration is not complete and students are not permitted to view their registration on the website. Students who are not CLEARED in advance will be permitted to attend classes the first day only.

Unpaid Student Accounts

Students who are delinquent in the settlement of any of their accounts with the University forfeit University privileges, including class attendance, board, and room. Students whose accounts are not paid in full or otherwise provided for are not issued transcripts or permitted to register for a new semester. Diplomas are not issued and no transcripts of credit will be issued until all financial obligations have been cleared.

A service charge of 1.5% or $30, whichever is greater, is added to any unpaid balance in the student account as of the last working day of each month.

Refund Policies

Students who officially withdraw from college or who reduce their course credit load (which reduces the tuition to be charged) may be entitled to a refund on the tuition paid for courses dropped, according to the schedule shown below. Before the official beginning of classes, full tuition is refunded. For withdrawal after the beginning of classes, the date for any refund is the official date of withdrawal based on whether that official date falls within the specified week or day below.

No refund of activity fees, lab fees, or other fees is made after the official beginning of classes. Students who have been dismissed may not appeal for refund of tuition. Students who are called to active military duty and withdraw from classes at any point in the term will receive a refund of 100% of tuition and fees. Room and board refunds are calculated as described below.

Room refund follows the same schedule and policies above.

Board refund is provided at 90% of the unused full weeks remaining in the term.

Students considering reducing their status from full time to part time (less than 12 hours) should discuss those plans with the financial aid office since most financial assistance is available only to full-time students. If a student withdraws or is dismissed, scholarships and grants are prorated to the tuition charged. University scholarships and grants may be recomputed and the student charged for the unpaid cost.

Students receiving Federal Title IV Student Financial Assistance may be entitled to a refund in accordance with the Federal Refund Policy or the Federal Statutory Pro Rata Refund Policy. All refund distributions will be made according to Federal laws and regulations. Students with questions regarding these policies should contact the business office.
