Payment of Accounts

The university’s credit, collection and payment policies exist in order to maintain a fair, consistent and sound business relationship.

 

Points to remember:

  1. All tuition, fees, and housing charges are assessed and due when you register.  Student aid funds will be posted to the student’s account to satisfy these charges.  All balances due will be handled in accordance with the deferred payment plans as outlined below.
  2. Some miscellaneous charges may be assessed during the semester.
  3. All charges for fall and spring semesters (J-term considered to be a spring semester charge) may be paid when you complete registration at the Office of Business Affairs.
  4. Summer school charges must be paid in full at the Office of Business Affairs before each session begins.
  5. Students living in campus housing must pay summer rent by the first day of the month for June and July.  Rent charges will not be deferred to the fall semester.
  6. The university accepts all major credit cards. Personal checks will be accepted toward payments on accounts.  However, no campus office will cash checks.  “Insufficient funds” checks presented for payment will incur a $20 “Insufficient funds” charge.
  7. Students who receive Veterans benefits will be given special consideration in payment of accounts.  Baptist University of Florida will not:
    1.  Prevent the student from enrollment;
    2. Assess a late penalty fee to the student;
    3. Require the student to secure alternative or additional funding;
    4. Deny the student access to any resources (access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities) available to other students who have satisfied their tuition and fee bills to the institution.
    5. However, to qualify for this provision, such students may be required to:
      1. Produce the VA Certificate of Eligibility (COE) by the first day of class;
      2. Provide a written request to be certified;
      3. Provide additional information needed to properly certify the enrollment as described in other institutional polices.
  8. Funds received from all student aid, state and federal grants, Tuition Assistance Program, William D. Ford Direct Loans, and scholarships will be credited to the student’s account in the Office of Business Affairs.  Any excess funds (credit balances) on a student’s account, after all monies above have been applied, may be withdrawn by the student in accordance with guidelines established by State and Federal agencies administering the funds.  NO FUNDS MAY BE WITHDRAWN BY THE STUDENT UNLESS THE STUDENT ACCOUNT HAS A CREDIT BALANCE.
  9. Students who meet all of the following criteria are eligible to receive refunds by the seventh day of a payment period for the purpose of obtaining books and supplies.
    1. The student is eligible for a Federal Pell Grant.
    2. Has a complete financial aid file ten (10) days prior to the payment period and disbursed funds would create a Title IV credit balance.
