Non-matriculated Part-time Students Southern New Hampshire University provides limited opportunities for residents of the Greater Manchester area to enroll as special students on a part-time basis in its undergraduate day programs, including the culinary program. Non-matriculated part-time students may enroll for up to six credit hours in a semester, not to exceed nine credit hours per academic year or more than 12 credit hours in total. Enrollment is on a space-available basis. Contact the undergraduate admission office for more information. The tuition rate is shown on the tuition and expenses table. There are no refunds for withdrawals due to the reduced cost of these classes.
Credit Overload A student who wants to take more than 18 credit hours in a single semester must receive permission to take these extra credit hours from the appropriate school dean. Credit hours for courses from which the student withdraws are included in his or her total number of credit hours. A student will be required to pay for each credit hour he or she takes in excess of 18 credit hours in one semester. All Southern New Hampshire University tuition and fees are subject to change at any time by action of the board of trustees.
SNHU Online/School of Professional and Continuing Education Student Payment and Deposit Policies: Payment of Tuition Tuition must be paid before attending the first class of a term. Tuition can be paid by cash, VISA, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, check or money order. Textbooks and supplies are sold separately. Southern New Hampshire University has a deferred payment option for new students who need start-up help and current students who face sudden financial difficulties. All students must sign a one-time promissory note.
Deferred Payment Plan First-time students must pay half (50 percent) of initial enrollment charges at the time of registration, unless they fall under direct bill eligibility (which requires an employer letter for verification on file before registration) or they have completed financial aid forms and are expected to be eligible for such aid. Payment of the remaining half (50 percent) of the initial term’s charges is due on or before 30 days following the close of that term. Interest at the rate of 18 percentper-year (compounded daily) on the outstanding balance will be charged. If payment has not been received within the 30-day period, students’ accounts will be placed on hold and they will not be allowed to register for upcoming terms.
Continuing students may enroll in successive terms without additional payments, but full payment for the previous term is due on or before 30 days following the close of that term. Interest at the rate of 18 percent-per-year (compounded daily) on the outstanding balance will be charged. Interest will accrue as of the first day of class.
Industry Sponsors The university cooperates with many company tuition sponsorships and reimbursement plans. Students attending under these plans should give their center office or Student Administrative Services the necessary authorization and inform the office how the tuition payment will be handled.
Direct Third Party Billing Students eligible to participate in third-party direct billing, in which a third party will be authorizing direct billing from the university to the party, must first submit a voucher or a letter from the third party provider. The voucher must include beginning and end dates of the academic term, courses covered, books, insurance, other fees covered (if any) and maximum dollar value. Payers (employers or others) will be billed at the beginning of the term covered by the voucher. Payment is due within 30 days of billing. Finance charges are waived upon confirmation of approved authorization. Student reimbursement from an employer (or other payer) based upon satisfactory completion of the course or program is not considered third-party billing. Student reimbursement is considered a self pay account and is subject to the payment policies outlined.
Other payment information: • Finance charges at the rate of 18 percent-per-year on the outstanding balance will be charged to all students except those on active-duty military and those covered under a direct-billing arrangement. • Students who are completely covered under a directbilling sponsorship arrangement are not required to make any initial payment to SNHU as the sponsor will be direct-billed. • Students receiving financial aid may use such funds to make required payments. Transcripts, caps and gowns and diplomas will be withheld from any student with an outstanding balance. • Students failing to pay their bills for the previous term within a 30-day window will be assessed a $50 penalty charge. Students who are no longer enrolled at Southern New Hampshire University and have balances will be charged a late fee of $50. If a payment plan is not established, the account will be placed with a collection agency. If this happens, the student’s account will be assessed an additional 25 percent and the debt will be placed in the student’s credit file. Any student who has a former collections account must pay up-front for future classes. For additional information or forms contact the Bursar’s office, or visit us online. 23
