REFERENCE GUIDE

 

 

ENROLLMENT FEE

 

All students are required to pay a $250 enrollment fee on or before May 1st for the Fall Semester.  New Students for the Spring Semester are required to pay the $250 enrollment fee on or before December 1st. This fee is necessary to confirm your intention to enroll for the next academic year. The enrollment fee will be applied to mandatory tuition and fees.  The enrollment fee can only be refunded if requested in writing to the Office of Student Accounts prior to May 31st for the Fall Semester and December 1st for the Spring Semester. All enrollment fees received after May 31st for the Fall Semester and after December 1st for the Spring Semester are nonrefundable.

 

INSTALLMENT PLAN

 

The University offers an installment plan to students who cannot pay mandatory tuition and fees in advance. Students who do not adhere to the terms of the installment plan may not be eligible to take final exams, thus resulting in a withdrawal from all courses. This action would cause the student to receive a "W" in each course and would require that the course be repeated in its entirety (at the students expense) to receive any academic credit.

 

Mandatory First Installment

 

The first mandatory Installment payment under the installment plan is due to Virginia Union University by May 31st for the Fall Semester and December 1st for new students in the Spring Semester.  Financial Aid cannot be used to cover mandatory first installments as shown below:

 

On-Campus: $1,950                        Off-Campus: $1,350

 

Installment plans made over the phone must be signed and returned to the Student Accounts office within 5 days to obtain approval status.  Please call the Students Accounts office at (804) 257-5775.   

 

Bills are mailed to the address provided by the Office of the Registrar.  Failure to receive a bill does not waive the responsibility to pay the bill by the due date.

constitute an official withdrawal from the University.
