Payment of Tuition and Fees for Semester Registration
All fees will be assessed four weeks prior to the beginning of the each term. Payment may be made by cash, check or money order payable to California University of Pennsylvania, or by VISA, MasterCard, American Express or Discover Card. On-line payments can be made by ACH check payment and by credit card. If financial aid has been awarded, this amount will be deducted from the bill. Payment plans (with initial payment) may be contracted on line at the first due date for each term.
Payment Information
California University of Pennsylvania is moving to e-billing. Students who take advantage of early/rolling registration should receive a Cal U e-mail announcing that the billing statement is available for viewing on-line through the Vulcan Informational Portal (VIP) approximately four weeks prior to the start of the term. Students who enroll within four weeks prior of the first day of a semester should be prepared to make payment at the time of registration.
Payment Plans
Payment plans are available each fall and spring semester. Payment plans enable students to pay costs on a monthly basis. Enrollment for the payment plan can be completed on-line. Detailed information is also available on-line through Bursar's Office website.
Third Party Billing
Some companies and government agencies pay tuition directly to the University. If tuition is to be paid in this manner, authorizing forms or letters must be sent to the Bursar's Office. This payment must be received by the Bursar's Office during the semester in which charges originate and cannot be used in lieu of a personal payment for an authorized payment plan. This payment option does not apply to corporate tuition reimbursement policies or when the payment amount is based on grades and received ater the term has ended.
Refund Policy
Tuition is adjusted for class withdrawals during the first week of the fall and spring semesters. After the add/drop period ends, adjustments are made ONLY if a student withdraws from all enrolled classes. Refunds are made to the amount of the charge, not the amount that has been paid to date. The refund policy is available on-line and in the Bursar's Office.
Financial aid recipients should refer to the Refund/Repayment Policy online at http://www.calu.edu/prospective/undergraduate-admissions/financial-aid/apply-for-aid/fafsa/refund-repayment-policies/index.htm
Room Deposit
An application fee of $300 is required in order to reserve a room for the following academic year. Request a housing contract packet from the Residence Life Office. The contract and card must be signed and returned to the Bursar's Office with a $300 payment. This fee is non-refundable and is not deducted from room charges.
Late Registration Fee
Students who register after the add/drop date of the semester will be charged a $25 late registration fee. (The structure of fees is subject to change without prior notice and such changes shall take precedence over existing charges set forth in this catalog.)
Late Payment Fee
A late payment fee of $25 per month will be assessed when a student fails to pay the required fees by the due date or when a student fails to pay according to an approved payment plan. (The structure of fees is subject to change without prior notice and such changes shall take precedence over existing charges set forth in this catalog.)
Return Check Charge
A $25 fee will be charged for any check that is made payable to California University of Pennsylvania and returned by the bank because funds are unavailable. (The structure of fees is subject to change without prior notice and such changes shall take precedence over existing charges set forth in this catalog.)
