Tuition Payment Policy

Installment Payment Plan

Olivet wants to help students budget for the cost of their education cost by offering them an equal and interest-free installment payment option. Payment plans available are a three-month plan (for fall, winter and spring) or two-month plan (for summer). A $25 fee will be charged during sign-up for an installment payment plan. If a student fails to pay the first installment, he or she will be terminated from the installment plan and the remaining balance will be due immediately.

Delinquent Accounts

All financial obligations are to be paid on or before the due date and an account is considered delinquent the day after the financial obligation is due. It is the student's responsibility to keep his/her account current. If accounts are delinquent, the following fees or restrictions will be applied:

• A late payment fee of $75 charged.
• Restricted from registering for the subsequent quarter.
• Grade will not be released.
• Transcript and other official school documents will not be issued
• Degree will not be awarded

Student Account Disputes

All disputes concerning student accounts should be directed to the Student Finance Office. Contact staff by email at studentfinance@olivetuniversity.edu

Cancellation and Refund Policy

Student's Right to Cancel: A student who cancels the enrollment agreement within seven days (until midnight of the seventh day excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays) after signing the agreement will receive a refund of all monies paid except the non-refundable application fee. A student who cancels after seven days but prior to the student's first lesson and materials are received will receive a refund of all monies paid except for the nonrefundable application fee. All requests for cancellation by the Student must be made in writing and mailed or hand delivered to the Registrar, Olivet University, 36401 Tripp Flats Rd, Anza, CA 92539. Cancellation is effective on the date written notice of cancellation is sent. A withdrawal may be effectuated by the student's written notice or by the student's conduct, including, but not necessarily limited to, a student's lack of attendance. If the institution sent first lesson and materials before an effective cancellation notice was received, the institution shall make a refund within 30 days after the student's return of the materials.

Refund Policy: Students officially withdrawing or leaving from Olivet University may receive a partial or full refund of tuition. Regardless, a $15 drop fee will be applied per course drop fee. All other fees are non-refundable. Refunds will be based on the total charge incurred by the student at the time of withdrawal or leave, not the amount the student has actually paid. Students must complete a Student Withdrawal Form or Leave of Absence Form and submit it to the Registrar's office. The effective date is the date that the student files the form. Refunds will be made within 30 calendar days of the notification of an official withdrawal or leave of absence.

*Partial Refund is based on the tuition billed for the quarter in which the student withdraws, according to the following formula: Tuition billed for the quarter - tuition / total program hours program hours x course completed hours = refund due. For the purpose of this calculation, the total program hours equals the number of hours scheduled for the term.
