When registering for classes, students may send full payment of tuition and fees with registration or utilize one of the following options.  If a student submits his/her registration form without one of these tuition payments, the registration will not be processed. If the student is registering online and no payment is submitted, he/she will be dropped from all classes and the non-refundable registration fee will be assessed.

Spring 2010 term

• Payment of Minimum Registration Deposit of $125 and payments on the Deferred Payment Plan, see Option 2.
• Qualified Employer Third Party Voucher, see Option 3.
• Financial Aid/Scholarship or V.A. recipient, see Option 4.
• Payments may be made with cash (Troy campus), check, credit or debit card (Visa, MasterCard, and Discover). Tuition payments may also be made at any extension campus. Extension campuses do not accept cash.

Option 1
Minimum Registration Deposit
If tuition and fees exceed the required deposit, students may pay the minimum registration deposit with their registration and pay off their balance in full by April 22, 2010 for the winter 2010 term. Students who have not paid their balance by that date and are not a veteran, financial aid, or third party student, will be automatically placed on the Deferred Payment Plan and assessed a non-refundable $20 deferred fee, see Option 2.

Option 2
Deferred Payment Plan 
Students in good financial standing, who paid the minimum registration deposit, may pay off their account in two equal installments. If the balance is not paid in full by the full tuition due date, students will be placed on the Deferred Payment Plan automatically and charged the $20 non-refundable fee. Students are responsible for making payments by the due dates by using WebAdvisor, visiting, or calling the Business Office with credit or debit card information, or mailing payment to the Business Office.

Payments that arrive after the due date or partial payments will be assessed a $20 late fee.

Option 3
Qualified Third Party Voucher
This option is available to students whose employer pays the College directly for tuition and/or fees. The payment of tuition must not be dependent on grades. Only official employer vouchers or purchase orders should be submitted with registration. Applications for vouchers will not be accepted without paying the minimum registration deposit. Direct billing of all third parties will take place after the drop/add period. Vouchers can only be accepted until April 22, 2010 for the winter 2010 term.  If vouchers are received after this date, deferred payment and/or late fees will apply.

Option 4
Financial Aid Recipients
Students who have been notified by the Financial Aid Office that they are eligible to register without paying the required minimum registration deposit should mark the Financial Aid/Scholarship box on the bottom of the registration form. Students who meet the following criteria are eligible to register as a financial aid recipient:

Received an estimated financial assistance notification letter AND
Have been determined eligible for a federal and/or state grant OR
Have submitted a loan application covering the upcoming semester.

Students in the process of applying for aid and have not received an estimated financial assistance notification letter from the Financial Aid Office will be required to pay the minimum registration deposit at the time of registration.

Scholarship Recipients
Only the following scholarship recipients are eligible to register without paying the minimum registration deposit:

New student scholarship recipients
Walsh College Presidential Scholarship recipients (new and continuing students)

Please mark the Financial Aid/Scholarship box on the bottom of the registration form. If you are a continuing student (i.e. have completed coursework at Walsh College) and have received a Walsh Merit Scholarship in previous semesters, you are required to pay the minimum registration deposit. The Financial Aid Office will not be able to review your eligibility for the scholarship program until your semester grades have been posted to your transcript.

Financial Aid/Scholarship Payments
Financial Aid/Scholarship payments will be applied to your tuition account after the drop/add period.  Financial aid recipients are permitted to charge books to their account until the drop/add period is over. The bookstore will have a list of all eligible students. If your aid exceeds the tuition and fees charges, a refund will be issued where appropriate. Refund checks are issued weekly.

If a balance remains on your account after aid is applied, your account is due in full by the last deferred payment date on the payment schedule.

Veteran's Administration
Students who are an eligible Veteran will be able to register without paying the minimum registration deposit. Students should mark the VA benefits box on the bottom of the registration form.  Chapter of eligibility for benefits will determine how tuition and fees are to be paid to the College.
