Deferred Payment Plan
|
^ TOP |
Students may defer up to 50% of total current term charges, less pending approved financial aid, to a maximum of $2,500 for undergraduate and graduate students. Any amounts deferred must be paid in full by October 15 for the fall, and March 15 for the spring. Students must complete a Deferred Payment Agreement, available through the Office of Student Accounts, or through the Hofstra Online Information System. The completed agreement, along with a nonrefundable fee of 2% of the amount deferred (a minimum fee of $50) and the balance due must be submitted to the Office of Student Accounts.
Monthly Payment Plan, Currently Administered by TuitionPay
|
^ TOP |
Students preferring to pay annual tuition and fees on a monthly basis may do so through a service provided by Hofstra University through an outside organization, currently TuitionPay. The plan provides for monthly installments for the academic year. Information is available by contacting the Office of Student Accounts. Students may also contact TuitionPay directly through their Web site www.tuitionpay.com.
Tuition and fees are due and payable by August 1 for the fall semester and January 2 for the spring semester. For new students accepted and registered after the established payment dates, payments are due at registration. Failure to make payments on time will result in the assessment of late payment fees. Moreover, students with balances due will not be permitted to register, receive a transcript, or receive a diploma or certificate. Federal and state regulations, along with University policy, preclude the use of current financial aid for the payment of past due charges.

The refund policy associated with housing and meal plans is available from the Office of Residential Life.
Students are required to withdraw from classes in accordance with established policy. Students may not withdraw from classes or the University without official notification. Non-attendance from classes does not constitute withdrawal. Students remain fully responsible for all financial obligations, subject to the refund schedule above.
Note: Non-attendance of classes does not classify as official withdrawal, and does not relieve the student of his or her financial obligation, or entitle the student to a refund.
Title IV Refund Policy
|
^ TOP |
When students withdraw from the University and have received, or would be eligible to receive, Title IV financial aid, federal regulations require a calculation to determine the amount of federal aid earned vs. unearned. The amount earned is determined by the number of days attended during the semester or term and the amount(s) disbursed or that could be disbursed.
After the amount of earned vs. unearned is determined (based on the federally prescribed formula) the required funds will be returned to the source. Students will be responsible for all financial obligations. Failure to return any financial aid required may result in a loss of future eligibility.
