Direct Bill Payment Plan
The direct bill payment plan allows a student to attend the
University under an employee benefit plan or other sponsored
plan. The benefit should not be contingent on the course grade
received. The student’s employer or sponsor pays the cost of
tuition and fees directly to the University. To participate in this
plan, students must:

• Submit a payment voucher from the employer/agency or a
letter certifying the student’s eligibility for the benefits and
the stated value of the benefits;

• Update eligibility each term of enrollment;

• Pay any portion of the tuition and fees not covered by the
employer or agency by the payment due date, or upon
registration thereafter.

Tuition Reimbursement Plan (ROOSTR)
The tuition reimbursement plan allows eligible students to defer
tuition payments up to three weeks after grades are available for
the term. To participate in the Tuition Reimbursement Plan, the
student’s employer must cover at least 75% of the total cost of
tuition. Each term a student must:

• Submit a copy of employer’s tuition reimbursement policy;

• Submit a letter from the employer to confirm the student’s
reimbursement eligibility and indicate the percentage of
tuition covered (listing any applicable restrictions) and
complete a promissory note;

• Update eligibility each term of enrollment;

• Pay any portion of the tuition and fees (generally at least $180)
not covered by the employer by the payment due date or upon
registration thereafter.

• A late fee of $100 will be assessed to the student’s account if
complete payment is not received by the extended payment
due date. Please verify the ROOSTR due date with the
Student Accounts Office.

Return of Title IV Funds for Students Receiving Title IV Funds Federal Programs

The return of Title IV funds applies only to students attending
Roosevelt University who are Title IV recipients. Roosevelt
University shall refund Title IV recipients according to the following
guidelines:

Withdrawal before the second week of the term: 100% refund less the
non-refundable general fee.

Withdrawal after the second week of the term and up to 60% completion
of the term: The return of Title IV Funds is based proportionately
on the number of weeks remaining at the time the student
withdraws from school or ceases to be enrolled, less the
non-refundable general fee.

Withdrawal after 60% of the term’s completion: No refund granted.

Refund Policy for Residence Life

The Residence Hall contract is signed for the cost of room and
board for the full term of the contract. A $500 pre-payment is
required to process a contract. Students who leave their residence
hall before the end of a term are responsible for the total cost
assessed for that term and may be assessed additional charges.
Any student who completely withdraws from the semester must
contact the Office of Residence Life and complete a contract
cancellation request form.

Past Due Accounts

To receive a transcript or to enroll in courses, your account
must be current. Requests from students with past due account
balances or lacking payment arrangements will be denied. A
monthly late fee of 1% will be assessed on any amount more
than 30 days past due.

Balances Written off due to Bankruptcy
Students who have previously had account balances written off
due to personal bankruptcy filing are no longer eligible for
university payment plans and must pay in full at time of registration.
Diplomas and transcripts will be released only to students
whose account balances are fully paid.

Students owing any past due amounts will not be issued transcripts
of their credits or diplomas. Furthermore, they will not be allowed
to enroll for any semester or term until all past account balances
are paid. Late fees are assessed at 12% per annum on any past due
amount.

The University reserves the right to assign any delinquent
student account to a collection agency. Students whose accounts
are delinquent are responsible for any additional costs assessed
for the collection of the student account balance. Students
are considered delinquent when their account status does not
meet established payment due dates. Students returning to
the University are required to pay agency fees incurred by the
University to collect the student’s delinquent account.

Details on all payment plans are available in the Office of
Student Accounts or online through RU ACCESS.

Special Tuition Rates for Senior Citizens

Roosevelt offers a rewarding opportunity for persons 65 years
of age or older who wish to enroll in university courses. Senior
citizens pay all applicable fees, but only 50% of the standard
tuition rate. Please note: this discount may not be used in
connection with other tuition benefits in any one term.

Withdrawals, Refunds and Credits

Terms of Withdrawal

You will receive tuition credit only when you officially withdraw
in writing or online using Roosevelt University’s official Change
of Registration Form available in the Office of the Registrar in
Room 124 (Chicago), Room 120 (Schaumburg), or on the web at
www.roosevelt.edu/registrar. The date of withdrawal is the date
it was originally completed online or when the Registrar’s Office
receives the Change of Registration form in person.

Tuition deposits and other University fee assessments are not
refundable.

Roosevelt University Refund Policy

Roosevelt University’s Refund Policy meets the standards
required by federal law governing the awarding and disbursement
of Title IV Student Financial Assistance.

Tuition refunds are based on the date of official withdrawal.
Tuition refunds are calculated at the refund rate that applies on
the date of official withdrawal, as a percentage of the difference
between original tuition charged and the tuition applicable to
the reduced course load. Specific refund rates and withdrawal
dates are noted in the academic calendar. For undergraduate
and graduate students with a flat rate tuition, a reduction in
course load may not result in a tuition adjustment or refund.

Please note: Students receiving financial aid must check with
the Financial Aid Office before submitting a withdrawal, since
financial aid is calculated based on the number of days a student
remains officially registered, and is available only to students
maintaining a minimum level of enrollment—generally six
semester hours in a term.

Refund Policy for Students
The date of withdrawal for the purpose of tuition credit shall be
the date on which the student withdraws from the class online or
the Change of Registration Form is received by the Registrar’s
Office. Tuition credits will only be granted for students who
officially withdraw in writing. Students who register, but do
not attend classes, will not receive a tuition credit unless they
officially withdraw. The general fee and other University fee
assessments are not refundable.
