Tuition Payment Planfrom Tuition PayWhat is Tuition Pay?Tuition Pay by Sallie Mae is an educa-tional financing company that providesfamilies and students with a low costplan for budgeting tuition and othereducation expenses. The Tuition PayMonthly plan is NOT a loan program,therefore no debt is incurred. There isno interest or finance charge assessedby Tuition Pay on the unpaid balancedue to the college. The only fee tobudget payments through Tuition Pay isa $35.00 per semester non-refundableenrollment fee. Payments madethrough Tuition Pay are considerablyless expensive than the cost of obtain-ing loans, paying with credit cards, orbudgeting through other interest orfee-charging payment plans. There isno credit search or qualifications neces-sary to use Tuition Pay.

One of the reasons why the cost tobudget with Tuition Pay is so affordableis because payments through TuitionPay are made by using automatic pay-ments from your bank. The automaticpayment helps you budget tuition pay-ments in a convenient way whichensures that the college will receivedependable and consistent tuition pay-ments. With Tuition Pay you never missa payment and you save the time andexpense of writing and mailing checks.

How does the automaticpayment work?Automatic payments are simply pay-ments that you authorize your bank tomake on your behalf on a specific dateeach month. The amount paid by yourbank is a predetermined amount thatyou have authorized. Your bank willmake these payments from either yourchecking or savings account, accordingto the instructions you have providedon your agreement with Tuition Pay.Payments will be made until the totalamount due to the college is paid infull. Automatic payments are used topay mortgages, life insurance premi-ums, car payments, utilities, and othertypes of bills.

General Fee RefundStudents are matriculated by semester.If a student withdraws from classes or isdropped from the University for whatev-er cause, a refund of fees for a fall orspring semester shall be made in accor-dance with the University’s refund poli-cy, based on the following schedule.This schedule is adapted for summerterms.

Students who withdraw from theUniversity and who are receiving anyfinancial assistance may be required toreturn such assistance per Public Law668.22 and institutional policy. TheUniversity of Richmond complies withall federal regulations governing recipi-ents of federal Title IV funds.Information regarding financial aidrefund policies is available in theFinancial Aid Office.

The amount of the refund is based onthe date that written withdrawal notifi-cation is received in the Office of theDean.
