University fees (i.e. application fees) are nonrefundable. Students are responsible for all fees whether or not the tuition has been paid in full.
Registration Policies and Requirements 1. All withdrawals not completed via Pipeline must be submitted in writing. Late registrants, those who have made only partial payments, and those who have not attended a course are not exempt from this registration and refund policy. Withdrawals are not considered finalized until such paperwork is presented to your registration center. Eligible students may process drops, but not withdrawals, using HPU Pipeline according to the published registration schedule. 2. University fees (i.e. application fees) are nonrefundable. Students are responsible for all fees whether or not the tuition has been paid in full. 3. Tuition payment deadline: By 11:55 p.m. HST on the date given above. Late payments will incur a 5% of the balance due, not to exceed $50 per month. 4. Students receiving third-party payments (including Veterans’ benefits and Tuition Assistance) must complete all necessary paperwork in a timely manner to ensure that payments are finalized before the tuition deadline, or risk personal financial obligation for tuition and fees, including any late fees. Students receiving federal financial aid (grants or loans) are subject to different policies. Please contact the Financial Aid Office for more information. 5. Students demonstrating intellectual and academic maturity may be authorized to take courses out of sequence; however, all prerequisite waivers must be requested and approved via general petition. Students who register for a course without having successfully completed the prerequisite course(s) are also affected by this withdrawal/ refund policy. Students who must switch because they lack the prerequisites will have to re-register for classes that are available at the time of the switch. 6. Instructors may offer the student an “I” (incomplete) grade with written instructions on how to complete the remaining course requirements. Students should finalize all outstanding coursework and the instructors should submit a change of grade form as soon as possible. The University will review “I” grades six months after posting. Unresolved “I” grades will be converted to “F” grades subsequent to the review.
7. Any student whose check is returned by the bank due to insufficient funds, account closed, or stopped payment will be assessed a fee of $25.00 and registration may be subject to cancellation. We reserve the right to refuse payment by check for students from whom we have received three or more returned checks. 8. A student’s registration is considered finalized when BOTH of the following conditions are met: a. All financial obligations have been finalized through payment, financial aid, approved third-party payments, or installment payment plan; and b. The student has submitted the following medical requirements: Active-duty military clearance to TB (tuberculosis) clearance and Measles immunizations (two doses), as required by Hawai`i Department of Health regulations, due by the start of classes or within 10 days for late registrants. Returning students are required to resubmit medical clearances. Cancelled Courses: We reserve the right to cancel a course in order to meet student and university needs. If a class is cancelled, students will receive a full refund or may transfer to another class during that term. For the most current information on course offerings, visit the HPU Web site at www.hpu.edu/courseschedule. Service Member Programs: HPU is a member of SOC (Servicemembers Opportunity Colleges), a network of institutions meeting the educational needs of military service members and their families. The University is also approved for Department of Veterans Affairs benefits to eligible students pursuing a VA-approved degree program. Use of a Social Security Number: HPU students are assigned a student ID number to be used as their primary University identification. A student’s Social Security Number (SSN) is requested for record purposes so that it may be used in processed federal financial aid, veterans’ benefits, military tuition assistance, and/or for identification purposes as required by law. In addition, a student’s SSN will be disclosed outside Hawai`i Pacific University only as permitted by law. Grade reports, transcripts, and diplomas will be released to students who have fulfilled all financial obligations (including library fines) to the University, and who have submitted their TB clearance and Measles immunization to registration staff.
