Monthly Payment Plan

In order to facilitate the payment of annual charges Post University offers to students a monthly payment plan whereby they may pay all or part of their annual charges.  These charges include tuition, room, board and other fees less any deposits and financial aid. A monthly payment plan agreement can be obtained from the Office of Student Accounts or by clicking here.  An established and approved monthly payment plan up to ten months requires payment by the 15th of each month.  The details of the Post University Monthly Payment Plan are forwarded to students in April.

Late Payments

Payment of fees are due by July 15th and December 15th of any year or monthly as determined in the monthly payment plan agreement. Students must pay their fees on or before their due dates.  If circumstances are such that payments cannot be made by the scheduled date, it is critical that the student contact the Office of Student Accounts to make special payment arrangements. These arrangements must be agreed to in writing between the student and the Office of Student Accounts no later than one week prior to the payment due date.  An account that is not current will result in (1) denial of registration for courses (2) withholding of transcripts and degrees and (3) assessment of a late fee equal to 1.5% of the balance due. Exceptions to any interest charges on open balances are made if:

  1. 100% of any student’s open balance is covered by financial aid and all paperwork has been completed and aid is received within 45 days.

  2. Less than 100% of a student’s open balance is covered by financial aid and all paperwork is complete, interest will be charged only on the difference between what financial aid provides and the total tuition and fees due.

  3. Students using work-study funds to settle account balances and have completed the necessary payroll documentation for funds to be applied directly to their account.

  4. Students with signed payment plans on file and continue to make payments in accordance to their agreement.

Monthly Statements

Monthly statements will be mailed to the billing address on file indicating the open balance and activity on your account for the prior month.  If you are on a monthly payment plan as described above, please follow the terms of the agreement. Any balance not covered by a monthly payment plan is due and payable within thirty (30) days.

If there are outstanding balances students may not register for classes, receive grades, graduate, or receive transcripts of courses from the University unless all amounts due the University or any affiliated organization have been paid. Any outstanding balances, along with all expenses, are subject to collection as long as they are outstanding.

Financial Aid Discrepancies:

If you have been provided financial aid and it does not appear on your statement, please contact the Financial Aid Office at 203-596-4527 to check on your disbursement.

Refunds:

Since faculty and staff salaries are made in advance of course activities and the cost of the physical campus are fixed, Post University must have a limited refund policy.  Only after a student’s written notice of withdrawal is received by the Registrar will a refund be considered. The date of receipt by the Registrar will be the official withdrawal date.  The Registrar will determine the period of attendance and the Office of Student Accounts will calculate the refund and/or repayments to the federal, state, and Post University financial aid programs.

Room Deposits

Room deposits are non-refundable.
