Returned Checks A $45.00 fee will be assessed to all returned checks and ACH payments. If the University receives a total of three returned checks in a given semester, all future payments must be made via cash, certified check, or money order. DO NOT SEND CASH THROUGH THE MAIL. Students are expected to immediately resolve all outstanding balances. Late Fees A one hundred dollar ($100) late payment fee per semester will be assessed to all students who have not made payment in full or acceptable arrangements by the tuition due date for the semester. Other Fees Students who enroll in certain courses may be charged additional fees. Those who enroll in applied music courses incur additional charges for private lessons. Health Insurance All undergraduate Day students taking 6 or more credits are required to carry health insurance coverage either through the University-sponsored plan or through an alternative comparable plan, such as coverage from a parent/guardian’s healthy insurance plan. VWU offers a Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) policy for $2,286 for the 2021-2022 academic year. Each student will be automatically enrolled; however, if you already have health insurance coverage and wish to waive the SHIP, you MUST complete the insurance waiver (www.firststudent.com). This waiver information is mailed separately from RCM&D, our health insurance broker. To access the online waiver through the RCM&SD website, please choose your school and click on Waive Your School’s Insurance. When asked to enter your student ID number, please omit the leading zero. The waiver due date is August 31, 2021. If your waiver is not received by the due date you may be automatically enrolled and covered by the policy through July 31, 2022, and are responsible for the insurance premium. Prior to first attendance at the University, and annually thereafter, registered students in the aforementioned categories must complete the online student health insurance waiver/enrollment process. Withdrawal and Refund Policies The withdrawal policy applies to registered students who attend at least one class and then officially withdraw from the University. To officially withdraw, the student must contact the Office of the Registrar and complete an official withdrawal form. Ceasing to attend classes does not constitute a student as officially withdrawn. Students who withdraw from the University completely may receive a partial tuition refund as follows: 90% - First week of class 50% - Second week of class 25% - Third week of class 0% - After the third week of class Calculations will be assessed on the date the withdrawal is completed and submitted to the Office of the Registrar. The University will charge an administrative fee of $100 for any student withdrawing. Enrollment deposits and fees are nonrefundable. Administrative Withdrawal for Non-Attendance (No Show) Day students who register for a semester of coursework but do not attend class sessions of any of their courses during the first two full weeks of the semester are withdrawn from the University administratively and notified of that action by a letter sent to both home and campus addresses. Those students are responsible for 10% of tuition and room and board charges plus the $100 administrative fee. The student will be ineligible for any federal, state, or institutional financial aid.
