Student Billing - Bursar's Office

Drop/Add Late Registration

Complete adjustment of tuition and fees will be made on drop/add changes through the first ten days of classes only. No refunds or changes will be made for dropping courses after the tenth day of classes. Charges will be assessed for the addition of courses. Students who believe they dropped a class within the first ten days of class but who were still charged for that class should contact their school's Admissions/Student Affairs office to file a formal appeal. If their respective school believes that the circumstances justify relief from the tuition charges, the school will work with the Registrar's office to drop the student from that class. PLEASE NOTE THAT DROPPING ALL CLASSES FOR A PARTICULAR TERM IS CONSIDERED A WITHDRAWAL, WHETHER OR NOT THE STUDENT OFFICIALLY WITHDRAWS FROM THE UNIVERSITY.

Late Registration Penalty

A late registration penalty of $60 will be charged to students who are authorized to register after their regular registration period. This penalty will be charged on registrations for Candidate for Degree and Doctoral Thesis.  Finally, the late registration penalty is separate and distinct from any penalty that may be assessed for late payment of tuition and fees.

Payment, Late Fees, Service Charges

Students enrolling at the university are responsible for full payment of tuition and fees and should be prepared to pay their bills in full.  Tuition and fees are due and payable on the published due date each semester.  Starting in the Fall 2009 semester, the university will offer an optional deferred payment plan to students at the Anschutz Medical Campus. 

Failure to receive a tuition bill does not dismiss the student from his or her obligation for payment.  Failure to pay tuition does not cancel classes and therefore does not eliminate or reduce the financial obligation.  Students are financially liable for all classes for which they are registered.  Failure to attend classes does not cancel a student's registration.  Note: Stopping payment on a check does not cancel classes.

The student's initial bill will be comprised of tuition and fees for the current term as well as any fees to cover the period from the current term.  The initial bill may also include any credits due for the employee tuition reduction, advance payments and deposits and financial aid when applicable.  Students with unpaid tuition balances will not be allowed to register for subsequent semesters nor will they be allowed to obtain a copy of their transcript.

Credit Cards

The CU Anschutz Medical Campus Bursar's office does not accept credit cards for the payment of tuition and fees. Due to the administrative fee charged to the institution, the university is not able to accept the cost without passing it on to the students in the form of higher tuition charges. The interest rate charged on credit cards normally exceeds that of the institutional funds available to students and the institutional funds also have more favorable payback terms than do credit cards.

Personal Checks

There is a $20.00 returned check fee on all items returned by a financial institution, effective fall term 2005.

Deferred Payment Plan

Students have the option of paying their tuition and fee balance in three monthly installments. The deferred payment plan is structured as follows; however you should refer to the Bursar's Calendar for specific dates and deadlines:

• 1/3 of initial bill - due on census date or the first term due date
• 1/3 second installment - due on the second term due date
• 1/3 final installment + $35 payment plan fee (non-refundable) - due on the third term due date

Students may sign-up for the payment plan via the UCD Access portal:

UCD Access Student Tab > Student Center > Account Inquiry > Account Services

The deadline to sign-up for the payment plan is census date.  Students will not be allowed to choose this plan after that date.

**IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING SUMMER PAY PLANS**

The deadline to sign up for the summer pay plan is June 18, 2013.  However, if you have summer charges that are due on May 31st, you will need to be sure to sign up by May 31st.  Students who have past due charges on their account are ineligible for the pay plan option.

Service Charges

A monthly service charge of 1.75% will be added to a student account if the account is not paid in full. This charge will be assessed to a student account that has an unpaid balance on the bill due date, and on the last day of each month thereafter.

The University of Colorado Denver│Anschutz Medical Campus will consider an adjustment of service charges only in cases on University error or where the University has been responsible for a delay in normal processing.

Delinquent Accounts

1. No transcripts will be issued for the student until the bill is paid in full
2. Service charges of 1.75 percent per month will continue to be assessed
3. Your account will be reported to the credit bureau

Refunds and Withdrawals

No change of program or withdrawal is valid without the written consent of the dean or dean's designee of the school or program in which the student is registered. If a student withdraws from the University after the first ten days of class, NO refund of tuition will be granted. Fees are also nonrefundable.

The deans or their designees of the various schools at the Health Sciences campuses may, under extenuating circumstances, waive all or a portion of tuition charges and those fees recorded in the school's accounts upon a student's withdrawal or dismissal from school. Students requesting tuition relief due to a withdrawal for unforeseen circumstances should contact their school’s Admissions/Student Affairs office to file a formal appeal. If their respective school believes that the circumstances justify relief from the tuition charges, the school will work with the Registrar’s office to enter the appropriate tuition rebate percentage on the student account.

Appeals

Students who disagree with a decision made by the Bursar’s Office for charges assessed or enrollment holds due to account balances may appeal in writing to the Fee Payment Appeals Board for reconsideration. The board, chaired by the Bursar, consists of two Associate Deans of Students Affairs, one of whom shall be from the appropriate school, a student from the appropriate school, the Director of Admissions and Student Services, the Registrar, the Director of Financial Aid, and the Director of the Office of Diversity. Appeals must be made in writing to the Bursar and must be received within 10 days of the student’s initial request to have a charge or registration hold decision reversed. The Board will notify the student in writing of its decision within 10 business days of the receipt of the request.
