It is important for the learner to review this monthly statement for correctness and completeness every month and the Business Office should be contacted immediately with questions or problems on the statement. This indicates that the current semester tuition is paid in full and the learner is eligible for a refund of the credit amount. The statement is a record of a learner's current status. Learners should not assume that future financial aid will clear their accounts. Some learners may have a missing document missing preventing the award of aid.
Learners can disqualify themselves for aid by waiting too long in a semester.
Union Institute faculty or staff should not advise learners to disregard a past due balance. Tuition is due on the first day of each semester unless the learner has chosen the deferred payment plan during registration. Tuition is posted to accounts at the beginning of each semester for graduate and undergraduate learners and immediately after the Entry Colloquium for new graduate learners. Learners in semester credit hour programs should check the tuition amount by multiplying the current hourly rate by the number of hours registered. Tuition is adjusted for graduation and withdrawal when the tuition cutoff date is determined from the academic records.
