Insurance

All students enrolled for at least 9 credits are eligible to participate in the 12-month (August-August) accident and sickness plan at $430 per year, subject to change.

Accident and health insurance is mandatory for all international students on nonimmigrant F-1 visas, Nursing students, and student-athletes. Physical Therapy students must have health insurance only. Students who are required to carry insurance and who elect not to accept the University-approved policy must produce adequate and acceptable documentation of coverage in Virginia. Commuter students who are required to have insurance may not register until they present an approved waiver or pay the premium. F-1 visa students who are commuters will automatically be charged the insurance premium plus an additional $10 for Repatriation and Evacuation coverage. F-1 students who already have adequate medical insurance coverage must complete a waiver form. The open enrollment period ends at the close of business 30 days after the semester begins.

Tuition Payment

For tuition payments and deadlines, please visit Marymount's Web site. A late payment fee of $55 will be assessed to all delinquent accounts. All payments must be made in U.S. currency and drawn on U.S. banks. Marymount University accepts cash, checks, money orders, and credit cards (Visa or MasterCard only). Do not mail cash. Checks and money orders should be made payable to Marymount University. All checks and money orders must include the student's ID number, address, and phone number on the face of the check. All returned checks are subject to a $35 service fee.

If, for any reason, a parent, a guardian, an employer, or an embassy does not honor their financial obligation to the University on behalf of the student, the student will be held responsible for those financial obligations.

Collection Policy

A student with an outstanding balance at the end of the semester will have his/her grades, transcripts, and registration withheld until the outstanding balance is paid in full. The University will make every effort to contact the student. However, if the University's attempts are unsuccessful, the account will be turned over to a collection agency for collection or to attorneys for litigation. The student will be responsible for all costs, including collection agency fees, attorney fees, and court costs.

General Tuition Refunds

To be eligible to receive a refund, students must officially drop a class or withdraw from the University before the deadlines that appear under "Dates and Deadlines" in the Schedule of Classes. See Marymount University's Web site for refund deadlines.

For fall and spring semester courses, students are eligible for refunds as follows: Week 1—100 percent of tuition and fees; Week 2—75 percent of tuition only, no fees; Week 3—50 percent of tuition only, no fees. Students are not eligible for any refunds after the third week of class.

For summer session classes, students are eligible for refunds as follows: Week 1—75 percent of tuition and fees; Week 2—50 percent of tuition only, no fees; Week 3—25 percent of tuition only, no fees. Students are not eligible for any refunds after the third week of class.

For weekend and concentrated courses, students are eligible for a 100 percent refund if the class is dropped at least 31 days before the class begins. A 75 percent refund will be given if the class is dropped within 30 days of the start of the class. No refunds will be given after classes have begun.

Refunds will be processed generally within 10 business days of the receipt of a written request to the Student Accounts Office. The University does not issue refunds in cash; only check and credit card refunds are issued. Federal financial aid recipient refunds will be determined based on the federal pro-rata refund regulations. Information and examples of federal pro-rata refunds are available in the Financial Aid Office.

Washington Consortium Credits

Payment for consortium credits is due at the time of registration.

Late Registration Fee

A $50 fee is charged if registration is not completed during the established schedule.

Continuous Registration Fee

A continuous registration fee of $30 is payable at registration each semester to maintain registration when not matriculating in classes.

Payment Plans

Payment Plans are available to qualifying students. To obtain an application, call (703) 284-1489. All arrangements, including the down payment, must be completed at least one week prior to registration.

Academic Management Services (AMS) offers a ten-month budgeting plan that begins in May prior to the fall semester. All or part of the annual costs may be budgeted with no interest rate assessed. A nonrefundable annual enrollment fee of $50 (includes insurance) is needed to apply. Applications are available from the Office of Student Accounts or from AMS at (800) 635-0120, www.tuitionpay.com.

FACTS Tuition Management offers a semester budgeting plan. For more information, visit www.marymount.edu and select "Financial Info" from the Quicklinks menu. From the Financial Info page, link to "Online Payment." Follow the instructions to set up your account. If you need further assistance, call the Student Accounts Office.

Deposits

Student Loans

Students who plan to pay tuition through a Federal Stafford Loan should apply for this loan in time for it to be processed before registration. Loan applications for eligible students generally require at least six to eight weeks for processing. Students receiving their first loan at Marymount are required by federal regulation to attend an entrance loan counseling session before receiving loan funds.

Veterans

Information on veterans' benefits from the Veterans Administration is available in the Registrar's Office.

Drop and Withdrawal Policy

In order to receive a refund in accordance with the advertised refund/withdrawal period, a student must officially drop a class even if someone other than the student registered him or her for the class. Failure to do so will constitute a financial obligation to the University because classroom seats reserved during registration continue to be held for a student until he/she officially drops from the class. Stopping payment on a tuition check or not attending a class does not constitute an official drop from class. A student who received financial aid should check with the Financial Aid Office before dropping from any classes. Procedural information about dropping a class is available here. For additional information on withdrawing from the University, please see the Academic Policies section.

Room and Board Refunds

If a student moves out of the residence halls before the end of the semester, refunds will be calculated on the same basis as tuition refunds. The vice president for Enrollment and Student Services may authorize an exception to this policy in extenuating circumstances based on documentation provided by the student.
