Registration Procedure
Registration dates vary depending on the student’s date of entry and/or the start date of the courses for which he/she is registering. See the current course schedule for exact dates of the courses for which you plan to enroll. Students should sign and date their pre-registration form for the term.
Payment
Payment and/or payment arrangements are made at the time of registration. Every student should have a payment plan on file with the University. If a student wishes to change his/her payment plan, the business manager should be contacted. The student's name must appear on his or her check before payment can be processed. Payment of all tuition and fees should be made in one of the following ways:
1. Cash, personal check, money order, or charge to Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express.
2. Current degree-seeking students must sign up for one of three payment plans. Payment plans are as follows:
· Option 1 -- Full tuition due the first day of the term.
· Option 2 -- ˝ tuition due on the first day of the term, ˝ tuition due on the first day of the 6th week of the term.
· Option 3 -- 1/3 tuition due on the first day of the term, 1/3 due in the 4th week of the term, and 1/3 due the 8th week of the term.
3. Students may choose to fill out an Automatic Payment Form using a Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express card. Students who use this method of payment will have their tuition for each term charged to their credit card of choice until the student makes formal written notice to IMPAC University requesting a change in payment method. Unless otherwise specified, tuition will be charged to the card at the rate of one-half tuition due for the term on the date of registration and the remainder of tuition due for the term at the mid-term, approximately six weeks later.
Checks returned as unpaid for “not sufficient funds” carry a $25 returned check fee. The student must pay all returned checks and charges immediately. The University will not accept checks as further payment for at least one year from the date of a second returned check from any student.
Past Due Financial Obligations
And Encumbrances
All past due financial obligations for a term must be settled before a student can continue to register and attend classes. The University will place an encumbrance on the record of any student who owes the University money that is past due. Transcripts or grades will not be released for any student or former student, nor will any degree be awarded to any student who has a past due financial obligation to the University. Students who fail to satisfy all financial obligations within ten days of the past due obligation will be dismissed.
If the balance is not paid by the payment plan deadline the University may begin collection proceedings against the student, including but not limited to, notifying the financial aid authorities, notifying the credit bureau, and forwarding the account to a collection agency and/or attorney for final legal action. The student will be responsible for all costs associated with collection of outstanding accounts.
Course Withdrawal
Withdrawing
From a Course
Or from the University
All withdrawal notices must be directed to the Student Services Office. The official date of withdrawal is the date the University receives notification of the withdrawal from the student. Refunds will be based on the official date of withdrawal notification. Ceasing to attend classes, failing to notify the instructor or notifying a staff member outside the Student Services Office does not constitute an official withdrawal. Students who do not officially withdraw from a course will receive a grade of “F” and no refund.
A student considering withdrawal from a course or complete withdrawal from the University should contact his or her advisor and/or course instructor first to discuss possible options. Any student who decides to withdraw must notify the Student Services Office.
· A student may withdraw from a course in any manner, including, phone, e-mail, fax, or letter. The date of the withdrawal will be recorded upon the receipt of the withdrawal notice. At that time, the student will be provided with an Official Add/Drop Form that should be completed.
· A student requesting an official leave of absence should fill out a Leave of Absence Request Form and submit it to the Student Services Office.
· A student who is administratively withdrawn from a course, a program or from the University for academic or disciplinary reasons will receive notice of the withdrawal from the Student Services Office.
Refund Policy
Refunds of tuition and fees paid to the University are made according to University policy. University charges are listed in the Tuition and Fee Schedule. Occasionally the University must adjust the refund policy as changes are received from governing agencies. A copy of the most current policies may be obtained from the Student Services Office. Members of the Student Services Office are available to answer any questions regarding refunds. A full refund will be provided if cancellation is made within five working days of the original commitment.
Refund Calculation for Students Who Withdraw From a Course or From the University
A full refund will be provided if cancellation of any obligation is made within five days of the original commitment. After 5 days, the University will retain $150. Refunds are available to students who have not completed more than 50% of the coursework. No refund is available to students who have completed more than 50% of the coursework. Refund calculations are calculated based upon the percentage of coursework completed. Following is the refund calculation formula and refund percentage chart.

The percentage of coursework completed is calculated by dividing the number of assignments completed by the total number of assignments for a course and that is multiplied by 100.
Students who are administratively withdrawn from a course will receive a 100% refund.
*The percentages are based on “refundable amount”, which is the total tuition charged minus $150. For example, if the tuition charged is $1080 and a student withdraws after completing 15% of the coursework, the student would receive 75% of $1080 minus $150. The total amount received would be $697.50
Payment of Refunds
A student may choose to have the University retain a credit balance or overage to be applied towards future tuition and fees. The student must give the University written permission in order for the University to hold any overage funds on the student’s account.
Credit balances or overages on a student’s account will be refunded not more than 30 days after the date of the student withdrawal.
