PAYMENT OF BILLS
Assumption College follows a policy
of sending bills directly to the students. Bills for each semester
will be issued one month prior to the beginning of each semester
and are payable to the Finance Office at least two weeks prior
to the commencement of classes on the date indicated on each
statement rendered. Any account balance remaining after the
due date will be subject to a late payment fee of $100.00.
Students will not be considered officially
registered and, therefore, will not be issued class schedules
or officially listed in the class roster until their bill
is paid. Payments are applied to a student's bill in the order
of past due balance, fines, interest, fees including room
and board, miscellaneous charges, and finally tuition.
Specific fees are often assessed after the
student's class schedule is fixed and are payable on receipt
of a statement from the Finance Office.
The college does not offer a deferred payment
plan. Students wishing to use an installment plan must make
private arrangements with Tuition Pay which offers this type
of plan on a fee basis. Information on this plan is available
from the Finance Office or online at https://tuitionpay.salliemae.com/assumption
Financial aid, loans, payments from
deferred payment plans, etc., must be received by the payment
due date each semester. Late payments will be subject to a late payment fee of $100.00.

Failure to Pay College Financial Obligations
Enrolled students may be suspended from
the College for past due obligations, an action which includes
removal of courses and prevention from course enrollment and
campus housing for future terms. Students whose accounts are
not in good standing may not be allowed to participate in
the housing lottery. Current and former students will have
a financial hold placed on their "official" academic transcript.
Past due obligations may be referred to a collection agency
at the discretion of the college. In such cases, the student
will be liable for any collection and legal fees which may
total 50% of the outstanding bill.

Refunds
No consideration will be given to applications
for refunds from an individual course or the college unless
the student has filed an official withdrawal notice with the
Office of the Dean of Studies. The date of withdrawal is the
last day of attendance. No amount paid is returnable upon
a student's voluntary withdrawal from the College as a matter
of right. Also, no refund is made for delay in attending class
at the beginning of a term or for withdrawal or dismissal
beyond the eighth week of a semester.
Refunds made on tuition will be made in
accordance with the following schedule:
| 100% |
If withdrawal is on or before the first
day of classes |
| 90% |
If withdrawal is after the first day of
the week that classes begin and before the end of the
second week |
| 50% |
If withdrawal is after the first day of
the third week of classes and before the end of the
fourth week of classes |
| 25% |
If withdrawal is after the first day of
the fifth week of classes and before the end of the
eighth week of classes |
Credits to the Student Account on room and
board charges will be calculated on a daily pro-rata basis.
No refund are granted on fees at any time.
Refund checks are issued by the Finance Office once per week.
Any refunds due to the student will first be offset against
any other amounts owed to the college.
