Payment Arrangements
Students may pay by mail or in person. Checks and money orders
must be in U.S. dollars, payable to Salve Regina University. Postdated
checks are not accepted. The University also accepts Visa
and MasterCard payments for graduate students, which can be
paid by phone.
To pay in person, the payment is brought to the Business Office
in Ochre Court between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday
through Friday. Because paying in person may involve waiting in
line, payment by mail is encouraged. Personal checks returned
for insufficient funds are subject to fines: $15 for checks up to
$50; $20 for checks over $50 and up to $200; and $25 for
checks over $200. If the check is not honored within ten days,
the registration will be cancelled. Once a check is returned for
insufficient funds, the University will no longer accept personal
checks on the student’s behalf.
Payment Options
Salve Regina University offers several alternative payment
options. Please read the terms of these options carefully before
choosing one. Students must sign a promissory note at the time
of registration. Please note that if a student adds a class, the
course fee will be paid according to the original payment option
chosen, unless otherwise indicated by the student. For tuition
reimbursement, the student must provide a new authorization
form indicating the new class.
Financial Aid
A variety of loans are available to assist students with tuition, cost of living, and other educational
expenses. Government loans and other financial programs are listed in brochures found in
the financial aid office.
Salve Regina University is approved for veterans' benefits. Interested persons should contact their local V.A. office or phone 1-888-GI-BILL-1 (1-888-442-4551) for assistance.
Refund Policy for Withdrawal from Campus-based Courses
Students are eligible for refunds of tuition according to the following schedule provided they have followed the procedure outlined in the "Withdrawal from a Course" or "Withdrawal from the University" sections of this catalog:
- A student who leaves the university during or at the end of a semester shall not be charged for the next semester. However, if the student has already registered for classes the next semester, the student is responsible to drop the same classes before the next semester starts, using the drop/add form in the Registrar's Office.
- A student who leaves the university (except under # 5 below) or changes his or her enrollment during a semester shall be eligible for a tuition and room and board refund during the first five weeks, according to the following schedule:
Withdrawal before classes begin 100%
Withdrawal before start of the second week of the semester 90%
Withdrawal before start of the third week of the semester 80%
Withdrawal before start of the fourth week of the semester 70%
Withdrawal before start of the fifth week of the semester 60%
Withdrawal before start of the sixth week of the semester 50%
Withdrawal after start of the sixth week of the semester 0%
Withdrawal from weekend workshops (after workshop starts) 0%
- The tuition refund schedule for campus-based "compressed" courses that meet eight weeks or fewer in a semester is as follows:
Withdrawal before classes begin 100%
Withdrawal before the 10th calendar day from start of course 80%
Withdrawal before the 16th calendar day from start of course 60%
Withdrawal after the 15th calendar day from start of course 0%
- The tuition refund policy for campus-based courses offered in summer sessions is based on the following schedule:
Withdrawal before classes begin in a session 100%
Withdrawal during the first week of class 80%
Withdrawal during the second week of class 60%
Withdrawal after the second week of class 0%
Weekend workshops (after a workshop has started) 0%
- A student who is suspended, dismissed, or withdraws when under investigation for misconduct shall not have tuition refunded for the semester in which action is taken.
- Refunds for student withdrawals will be processed within 30 days after the university has received notification of withdrawal.
Refunds of tuition will be calculated based on the date the graduate studies office receives written official request for withdrawal. All fees are nonrefundable. The university reserves the right to charge an administrative fee for refunds of this nature.
Refund Policy for Withdrawal from Online Courses
Students are eligible for refunds of tuition according to the following schedule provided they have followed the procedure outlined in the "Withdrawal from a Course" section of this catalog.
- Refunds for full-semester and four-month courses are as follows:
Withdrawal before classes begin 100%
Withdrawal before start of the second week of the semester 90%
Withdrawal before start of the third week of the semester 80%
Withdrawal before start of the fourth week of the semester 70%
Withdrawal before start of the fifth week of the semester 60%

Refunds for Students Receiving Federal Financial Aid
Students who receive Title IV Federal Financial Aid, such as Stafford Loans, Plus Loans, Perkins
Loans, Nursing Student Loans, SEOG Grants or Pell Grants, are subject to repayment as
mandated by the Federal Government. Up until the sixty percent completion of the semester,
all Title IV Funds are repaid based on a strict prorated percentage of time completion over the
entire semester. After the sixty percent completion date of the semester, all Title IV Funds are
considered earned and are retained by the student.
Refunds for Students Receiving University-Sponsored Aid
Students who receive university-sponsored financial aid such as grants are subject to the same
policy as tuition. Therefore, if a student is entitled to a percentage of tuition due to early
withdrawal, the same percentage of the grant will be refunded to the university.
The above calculation will be performed within 30 days after university withdrawal or 30 days
after the university becomes aware of the student withdrawal.
