17³Ô¹ÏÍø

Financial Responsibility Policy

All students must complete read and accept the Financial Responsibility Policy during Student Onboarding in Workday in order to Register.

BY CLICKING ON THE "ACCEPT" BUTTON YOU ARE ACKNOWLEDGING THAT BY REGISTERING FOR COURSES OR AFFILIATING WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW ORLEANS (17³Ô¹ÏÍø), YOU BECOME A PARTY TO A CONTRACT WITH 17³Ô¹ÏÍø AND TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS DESCRIBED HEREIN. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY SUCH TERMS AND CONDITIONS.    

By registering for courses at The 17³Ô¹ÏÍø you hereby acknowledge that you are entering into a contractual arrangement with 17³Ô¹ÏÍø, whereby you agree to comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to your registration, payment of fees, enrollment and attendance. Included in the rules and regulations that comprise the terms and conditions of this contract are those contained in the 17³Ô¹ÏÍø Catalog in effect during the years of your enrollment.    

In addition to reading, agreeing with and accepting all of the terms and conditions set forth in the 17³Ô¹ÏÍø Catalog, you must specifically acknowledge the following:

1. All fees and other University expenses are due at the beginning of the semester. The specific deadlines for each semester can be found on the 17³Ô¹ÏÍø website and in the University Catalog. Students that enroll in the Extended Payment Plan Option (EPPO) must pay their balance as outlined on the Bursar’s website.
2. It is the student’s responsibility to cancel their registration by dropping all courses if proper financial arrangements have not been made. The University does run a purge process for non-payment of fees, but the student is ultimately responsible for ensuring that he or she is no longer enrolled.   Students are responsible for knowing the tuition refund dates that are posted on the Bursar’s website.
3. The university reserves the right to withhold future services (registration, transcript request, diploma, etc.) to persons who have any outstanding obligations with the University.
4. In the event that financial aid is reduced or cancelled, or in the event the student has not met the specified requirements for receiving such aid, the student will become responsible for the full balance of outstanding charges.
5. If payment is in the form of a check (or E-Check) and the check is returned by the bank for any reason, a $25.00 service charge will be charged to the account. If payment is not resubmitted, your account may be submitted to the District Attorney’s office for collection. Upon transmittal for collection, the student will be responsible for any collection costs imposed by the District Attorney’s office based on a percentage of the amount of the check.
6. Students leaving 17³Ô¹ÏÍø prior to the 60% point in the semester, officially or unofficially, are obligated to return the federal aid received for that semester in accordance with the Universities Return of Title IV Funds Policy. Failure to return that portion of federal aid received upon demand may result in the amount owed being transferred to the State of Louisiana Attorney General’s Office, or other outside collection agency, for collection. Upon transmittal for collection, the student is responsible for collection/attorney’s fees, which could be up to thirty-three and one-third per cent (33 1/3%) of the unpaid debt, and all court costs.
7. Any debt owed to the university as a result of the student’s failure to make required payments or failure to comply with the terms of the applicable program as governed by the 17³Ô¹ÏÍø Catalog will result in a violation of the terms and conditions of this contract. Failure to respond to demands for payment made by 17³Ô¹ÏÍø may result in such debts being transferred to the State of Louisiana Attorney General’s Office, or other outside collection agency, for collection. Upon transmittal for collection, the student is responsible for collection/attorney’s fees, which could be up to thirty-three and one-third per cent (33 1/3%) of the unpaid debt, and all court costs.
