Refunds for Maryland Residents

MARYLAND

University of New England's Refund Policy follows the Federal Return of Title IV Aid Refund Policy for Maryland residents. If a student withdraws from UNE prior to the 60% point in the semester (based on calendar days from the first day of the semester through the last scheduled day of the semester), eligible charges due or paid will be refunded on a pro rata basis within 40 days of termination date. Some fees are non-refundable and therefore not pro-rated. Fees not refunded are: General Service (one-time fee), Application (one-time fee), and Technology (charged each semester fee). Financial aid awarded (if any) will be returned to the federal, state, and University of New England programs on a pro rata basis. Outside scholarship or non-federal loan assistance will not be returned unless specifically requested by the provider. After the 60 percent point in the semester, financial aid will not be reduced for any withdrawal, nor will any refund will be granted. This policy applies to all university withdrawals whether student-initiated or administrative withdrawals. Students should note that withdrawal may or may not result in an actual refund of money to the student. Circumstances may occur in which the student still owes money to the University even after appropriate withdrawal credit.

Maryland Students: Proportion of total course, program, or term completed as of withdrawal or termination date	Percent of Tuition Refunded
Less than 10%	90%
10% up to but not including 20%	80%
20% up to but not including 30%	60%
30% up to but not including 40%	40%
40% up to but not including 60%	20%
more than 60%	No Refund

Contact Student Financial Services with specific questions.

2022–2023 Adjustments

Adjustments to scholarships, grants, and loan programs will be made in accordance with respective Title IV program regulations and University policy before a refund to the student or parent is calculated. In cases where a refund may be due and the student has received funds through the Guaranteed Student Loan Program, it is our policy to refund those funds directly to the bank which made the loan, consistent with Federal guidelines. Refunds will not be made in the case of absence, dismissal, or suspension.

2022–2023 Leave of Absence Policy

In the event a matriculating undergraduate student desires to apply for a leave of absence, a Leave Form must be submitted to the Dean of Students. The form will include the reason for leaving as well as the expected date of return. Leave of absence adjustment to the student accounts will be given based upon the withdrawal policies. Failure to return on the agreed upon date will result in a withdrawal.

A student in the military reserves will be granted a full leave of absence tuition credit should the student be called to active duty while attending courses during any given semester. Room, board, and fees will be subject to regular withdrawal policies.

2022–2023 Payment Options

The person or persons responsible for tuition and fee payments (whether it be a student, their parent(s), or guardian(s)) may pay the charges as they come due each semester or by using the ten-month installment plan offered through Tuition Pay (see Option II: Monthly Payment Plans). They may also arrange to pay by using a combination of these payment arrangements.

The payment dates in the UNE sponsored payment plans cannot be deferred for the convenience of families using guaranteed student and parent loans or other tuition payment programs. Both long and short term financial arrangements should be made far enough in advance to assure payment on the required dates. Special problems or emergency situations can be discussed with the Student Financial Services Center at any time.

In addition to the following options for payment, UNE accepts MasterCard, Discover, and VISA cards.

Option I: Payment by Semester

About June 15, a bill will be sent for the tuition, board, room rent, and fees for the fall semester. Payment on this bill is due August 1st. Payments from the family, or any other cash payments, will appear on the bill as credits. Awarded financial aid will appear as a credit or if pending, as a memo to be deducted from the amount owed on the bill. The balance due is the difference between all charges, credits, and memos. The bill for the spring semester will be sent about December 15 and is due on January 10.

Option II: Monthly Payment Plans

The UNE Installment Plan (IP) spreads the full year charges over ten months beginning June 1st. This program is administered on behalf of UNE by Tuition Pay at 1 (800) 635-0120. These plans are designed to relieve the pressure of "lump sum" payments by spreading the cost over 10 months. There is an application fee. There are no interest charges.

Application Deadline

Students and/or their parents are urged to apply by May 15th. Applications made after the start of the program (June 1) must be accompanied by an initial payment sufficient to become current with the regular 10-month payment schedule. Applications for the 10-month plan will not be accepted after August 15th.

Late Payment Charge

The balance due each semester will be considered overdue if not paid by the specified date, and any unpaid balance will be subject to a late charge of 12% per annum or 1% per month.

Students with unpaid bills will not be able to register for courses, and they will not be allowed to attend classes until they have made satisfactory arrangements with the Student Financial Services Center. Students with overdue accounts are not eligible for academic credit, transcripts, or degrees.

2022–2023 Additional Information

• Students should expect annual increases in the cost of attending UNE since the University is subject to the same inflationary pressures that affect the rest of society.
• For their own protection while at the University, it is recommended that students carry their own local checking accounts to provide funds for incidental expenses and emergencies. People's United Bank, which is our preferred bank, provides a full-service ATM machine located in the Campus Center and in the Alfond Forum on the Biddeford Campus, and in the breezeway between Proctor and Hersey Halls on the Portland Campus. For those students who have People's United Bank checking accounts, ATM transactions are free of charge. Checks may also be cashed daily ($75 maximum) at the Student Accounts Office on the Biddeford Campus.
• The University offers direct deposit to its students. Students with credit balances can have the excess funds directly deposited in the bank of their choice. The sign-up form is available on the web at the HR website.
• The University will not be responsible for the loss of property on or off-campus although it strives to safeguard students' property on campus.
• Students are expected to pay for books at the beginning of the semester. Books, supplies, and other items available at the University Bookstores may be paid for with cash, check, Master Card, VISA, Discover, and American Express.
