Student
Handbook
Financial
Regulations
Each
student is responsible for his/her financial obligations
to Northwestern University. Any questions about University
financial procedures should be directed to the Office
of Student Accounts, 710 N. Lake Shore Drive, Chicago,
IL 60611. Telephone: (312) 503-8503.
Failure
to read Northwestern University Financial Regulations
does not excuse the student from compliance with rules
and regulations therein stated.
Students
whose university bills are overdue will not be given
a diploma or transcript, nor have their enrollment or
degree confirmed until all financial obligations are
paid in full. A student whose account is overdue must
pay a late payment penalty fee. The director of Student
Accounts may cancel the registration of a student whose
bills are past due.
Due
dates cannot be extended. Each quarter, due dates are
listed in the course registration materials. If you
do not receive a bill, contact the Office of Student
Accounts one week before the due date to ascertain the
amount due. A late payment penalty fee of $100 is assessed
once each term on amounts remaining unpaid, in whole
or in part, after the due date. There is no installment
plan.
Billing
Information
Bills are sent to the student's local address. Any billing
changes should be made by informing the Office of Student
Accounts immediately. Due dates will not be extended
if bills are not received.
Adjustments
We strongly recommend that you keep each bill so that
you will have an itemized record of charges and credits.
If you contest a portion of the bill, you should pay
the non-contested part by the due date and immediately
contact the appropriate office to request an adjustment.
Adjustments should be pursued as early as possible to
avoid a hold on your registration for the next quarter.
Payments
Payments must include the student's name and Social Security
number (ID number). Checks and money orders should be
made payable to Northwestern University. The student's
cancelled check will serve as the receipt. If you choose
to pay in person as opposed to by mail, you may do so
at the Bursar's Office, Abbott Hall, 710 N. Lake Shore
Drive. Hours for payment are 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday
through Friday.
Payment of tuition may also be made
by credit card. Credit card payments must be made on
2nd Floor Mezzanine of 340 East Superior Street during
the times and dates published each quarter with registration
materials. Credit card payment MUST BE MADE IN PERSON.
No payment may be made by telephone or fax.
Returned
Checks
Any check in payment of a University charge that is returned
by the bank may result in a late payment charge as well
as a returned check charge of $35. Withdrawals
and Refunds
The Part-Time MBA Program Registrar must be notified
in person or in writing of a student's withdrawal. The
reason for withdrawal must be approved by the Office
of the Registrar. Simply ceasing to attend class does
not constitute official withdrawal.
All tuition adjustments are computed
as of the date on which the official withdrawal notice
is received. Adjustments are not made on the basis of
attendance in class. In all cases of withdrawal from
the School, after the beginning of a course, adjustments
on tuition charges are made in accordance with following
schedule:
-
Students whose withdrawal notices are filed on or
before the first week of classes for the quarter will
be refunded full tuition and fees.
-
Students whose withdrawal notices are filed on or
before the end of the third week of class are charged
one fourth of the tuition and full fees.
-
Students whose withdrawal notices are filed on or
before the end of the sixth week of class are charged
one half of the tuition and full fees.
-
Students whose withdrawal notices are filed beginning
with the seventh week of class are charged full tuition
and full fees.
Refund
and Repayment Policy
Students are referred to "Financial Regulations, Chicago
Campus" published annually by the Office of Student Accounts
for a statement of the refund and repayment policy of
the Part-Time MBA Program. This policy is applicable to
any student who withdraws from the Part-Time MBA Program
prior to the completion of his or her degree and is a
recipient of federal financial aid funds.
Students
with Student Loans
Students expecting to receive student loan funds are responsible
for the balance of their tuition by the Student Accounts
deadline if the disbursement(s) does not cover the full
tuition expense for a given quarter. A $100 late fee will
be assessed if the balance is not paid by the tuition
due date.
