Tuition Payment Policy

Tuition, housing and fees must be covered by the due date on the latest Billing Statement, either with financial aid, on a payment plan or paid in full, to avoid a $150 late fee and hold. 

Please be advised that prior semester balances cannot be carried over to the next semester. A hold will be placed on all accounts not paid by the due date and will prohibit a student from registering for the next semester or receiving a diploma.

When a student registers for classes at Medaille University, it is understood that the student will pay in full all charges assumed on the due date, first day of class. Failure to attend classes does not alter the charges or entitle the student to a tuition refund.

Late Fees

Late fees are assessed to all accounts that have a balance due that is not covered in full either with financial aid, on a payment plan or paid in full. 
 
Late Fees and Student Veterans:
Late fees will not be assessed to identified covered veteran students due to delayed VA payments.
 
In accordance with Title 38 US Code 3679 subsection (e), any covered student veteran under Chapter 33 or Chapter 31 will not have late fees, denial of access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities enforced, due to delayed payments from the VA. Additionally, Medaille will not require covered individuals to borrow additional funds to cover their charges due to delayed payments from the VA. In order to qualify for the above, the Certificate of Eligibility or Statement of Benefits, or a VAF 28-1905 form for Chapter 31 veterans, must be provided to the Financial Aid Office (finaid@medaille.edu) by the first day of classes for the desired semester.

Refunds for Parent PLUS loans will be refunded to the parent, unless the parent has noted on the application that credit balance funds should be sent instead to the student.

Medical Waivers: Tuition Waiver Review Committee
A request for a Medical Waiver with no tuition liability, for the current semester, may be requested through the Bursar to the Tuition Waiver Review Committee.  This is conditional on the fact that continued attendance by the student is made impossible by reasons of serious illness which, in the opinion of the committee, are clearly beyond the control of the student.

The student must work with their Advisor (or the Registrar’s Office or the Bursar) to withdraw from the University.  The student must also send an email or letter to the Bursar indicating the courses affected for the current semester and explain the medical condition affecting further participation in the courses, as well as providing a doctor's note to the Bursar, explaining the illness and dates of the illness, stating student is unable to participate in classes.

If the Medical Waiver is approved by the committee, the tuition balance, if any, will be forgiven.  The student will receive W grades for those courses affected.  The student will be notified this is done on a one-time basis.

Failure to attend classes does not alter the charges or entitle the student to a tuition refund.

Is the tuition deposit applied to the first term’s tuition?

• Tuition Deposits show as a payment, once released, to the tuition bill, for the semester the deposit was paid for, ie fall, spring or summer semester.
• If the student attends the semester and has financial aid that overpays their tuition bill, the student may receive a refund.
• If the student doesn’t attend the semester the deposit was paid for, the Tuition Deposit will be held on their student account for one year, if they decide to attend at a later date, after one year it is forfeited.

 
Can a student be confirmed by the Admissions Office without paying their deposit?

• No.
