Policy for Student Accounts

All student account charges are due and payable by the Payment Due Date. To maintain enrollment, students must complete payment and agree to the terms and conditions of the Tuition and Fee Agreement, in addition to meeting all academic and standard of conduct requirements. The university expects students to cover all charges for the current semester before advancing to a future semester.

California Baptist University offers three payment options to assist students in covering tuition and fee charges. Students may choose to make a payment, set-up an automatic monthly payment plan, and/or use financial aid to cover their balance. International, Special Admit, and Professional Development Students are required to pay their balance in full each semester by the payment due date.

Students who remain enrolled past the last day to drop with refund are obligated to cover all charges incurred in accordance with the Policy for Refund of Tuition, Fees, Room, and Board Charges. If a balance exists, a hold will be placed on the student account preventing release of diploma, transcripts, and future registration until the balance is paid in full with verified funds.

Payment Due Dates

All students should pay their balance by close of business day on the Payment Due Date to avoid a Late Payment Fee and possible enrollment cancellation.

  Semester Payment Due Date
  Fall 2018 Wednesday, August 8, 2018
  Spring 2019 Thursday, January 3, 2019
  Summer 2019 Monday, May 6, 2019

University Approved Payment Options

Option 1 (Student Account Payment)

California Baptist University accepts the following forms of payment:

Online Payments - Bank payments and credit card payments are accepted online through InsideCBU at no additional charge. Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover are accepted. Foreign Currency Payments processed by Western Union Business Solutions are also accepted online.

Check Payments - Check payments can be made in the Student Accounts Office or mailed to California Baptist University, Attention: Student Accounts, 8432 Magnolia Avenue, Riverside, CA 92504. The student ID number should be listed on the check. All student account payments must be received in the Student Accounts Office by the Payment Due Date.

Option 2 (Automatic Monthly Payment Plan)

The monthly payment plan enables students to pay all or part of their semester charges in four monthly installments without interest. Payments are automatically processed on the 5th or 20th of the month as selected at the time of enrollment. A $35 per semester enrollment fee is required. Re-enrollment by the Payment Due Date is required each semester. A Late Payment Fee will apply if the first monthly payment transaction is not successful for any reason. Please see the InsideCBU Student Accounts tab for more information.

Option 3 (Financial Aid)

Financial aid includes scholarships, grants, federal loans, and alternative loans. Students are encouraged to register and meet all financial aid requirements at their earliest opportunity. Financial Aid must be accepted by close of business day on the Payment Due Date. Please see the financial aid section of this catalog for more information.

Tuition and Fee Agreement

All students are required to submit a Tuition and Fee Agreement electronically through InsideCBU. The agreement outlines the student’s financial responsibility for covering all student account charges. Students are encouraged to read through the agreement and contact the Student Accounts Office with any questions prior to submission.

Delinquent Accounts

All student account charges are due and payable by the payment due date. Failure to make payments of any indebtedness to the University when due, including, but not limited to, tuition, housing or rental charges, student loans, laptop fees, special fees, library or parking fines, is considered sufficient cause, until the debt is settled with verified funds, to bar the student from classes, to record no grades on transcript, to withhold diploma or transcript of records, to dismiss the student, and to hold all records as the University deems necessary. At the completion of each semester, accounts with an outstanding balance are considered delinquent. Interest is charged on all delinquent accounts at a rate of .03% computed daily or 10% per year. In the event an account is turned over to a collection service, the cost of the service and reasonable attorneys’ fees will be added to the account. Returning students will not be permitted to register for classes if a balance appears on their account.

Policy for Refund of Tuition, Fees, Room and Board Charges

The Student Accounts Office will automatically process tuition refunds for all eligible students. Tuition refunds are calculated from the date of official withdrawal. A withdrawal is considered official when a completed Petition to Withdraw Form has been submitted to the Enrollment Services Office and processed by the Office of the University Registrar, Financial Aid and Student Accounts.

Ceasing to attend does not constitute an official withdrawal from a course or from the University. However, a Title IV-unofficial withdraw may be processed, as required per federal regulations, which may necessitate the return of federal financial aid.

Refer to the Financial Aid and Academic Information sections in this catalog for additional information regarding withdrawals.

Tuition, room, and board charges may be refunded or credited per the following schedules:

Tuition

Withdrawal from a course

  Within add/drop period- A student may drop from a course and receive a full credit of tuition. No mark will appear on the transcript and no charge is incurred.
  Within withdrawal period- A student may withdraw from a course. However, there will be no credit of tuition, and a “W” will appear on the transcript.

Withdrawal from the University (Traditional 16 week courses)

A student withdrawing from the University during the semester may receive a credit on tuition (room and board not included) according to the following schedule:

  Within the first two weeks after semester begins 100%
  Within the third week after semester begins 75%
  Within the fourth week after semester begins 50%
  Within the fifth through eighth week after semester begins 25%
  After the eighth week of the semester No refund

Completion of even one course in a session will make a student ineligible for withdrawal from the University for that semester.

Refer to the University Calendar and course schedule for add/drop and withdrawal dates. Course schedules may be obtained at www.calbaptist.edu/schedules.

Room and Board

These charges may be refunded or credited on a prorated basis upon approval of a written appeal. Appeals must indicate extenuating circumstances and be submitted to the Residence Life Office and/or University Card Services Office.

Repayment of Financial Aid

See “Withdrawal from the University” under Financial Aid for a complete discussion.

Policy for Student Organization Funds

All student organization funds must be deposited with the University. The University disburses funds through the normal requisition process. All requisitions must have the signature of the organization’s advisor and the Vice President for Student Services. Proceeds from the sale of yearbook advertising and school newspaper advertising must be handled through the Student Accounts Office. No organization or club is permitted to solicit advertising or contributions without the written permission of the University administration.

The University reserves the right, with or without notice, to change fees and charges when necessary.
