Terms and Conditions of Degree Program Enrollment By submitting your degree program application to the University of Holistic Theology (UHT), you agree to the following: 1. Application and Enrollment Your application, whether submitted online, by FAX, or by mail represents a legal and binding agreement to complete your enrollment in a timely manner and subsequently pay your tuition balance as agreed upon official acceptance into the program. 2. Enrollment Agreement UHT is an Institute of Higher Education. Please do not begin the enrollment process unless you are serious about your education and want to earn a degree that will give you a sense of accomplishment and pride upon completion. Paying your tuition does NOT guarantee conferral of any degree or certificate. You MUST successfully complete and pass the required coursework as outlined by the university, and in accordance with all terms and conditions set forth in this section. 3. Required Approval for Time-Off In the event that you need to put your studies on hold for more than 3-months, you must notify the university in writing to request that time off. With prior approval you may take time off from your coursework to attend to unexpected issues that may come up in your life after your enrollment. An unexcused absence (no course work submitted for 3 consecutive months) with no prior approval, will result in your student status being set to "inactive". Inactive students will be required to submit a Reactivation Fee of $250 in order to continue on with their studies. Those that have not submitted course work for a period of 6-months or more (without prior approval) will be considered as having withdrawn from the program. 4. Degree Eligibility For Tuition Payment-Plan Students Those on an extended tuition financing plan for their Degree Program must complete their tuition obligation in full before becoming eligible for conferral of a Degree. The Enrollment Fee is non-refundable. There are no tuition refunds for payments that have been made to the university. The one exception is for degree programs that have been paid for in full, in which case the college would prorate any refunds only as outlined below. Any refunds will include a deduction of a US$300 Administrative Fee to cover associated costs. For example: Withdrawal within 3-days of enrollment: full amount, less $300 Administrative Fee. Withdrawal within two-weeks of enrollment: 90%, less $300 Administrative Fee. Withdrawal within one-month of enrollment: 75%, less $300 Administrative Fee. Withdrawal within 2-months of enrollment: 50%, less $300 Administrative Fee. Withdrawal within 3-months of enrollment: 25%, less $300 Administrative Fee. Withdrawal after 3-months: No Refunds ** Please note that the cancellation policy noted above applies only to UHT Degree Programs. Outside certificate programs (i.e., courses that may be certified by UHT, but managed outside of the university) will each have their own unique policies in regard to tuition payment, cancellation, rescheduling, etc. If you are registering for a certificate program, please make sure to review the specific terms for that course. 7. Tuition Agreement You agree to pay your tuition according to the guidelines of your selected tuition payment plan. Each incoming degree program student that chooses one of the available extended payment options must complete the standard Tuition Contract Form and return it to the university prior to the start of their degree program. 8. Access to the UHT Online Campus Website All UHT students receive access to the private Online Student Center website. As the name implies, the Online Student Center is a private, password-protected resource website for enrolled students of UHT ONLY. The UHT Online Campus System is a mandatory component of the program. While we use our best efforts to maintain the campus system to high standards, UHT makes no warranty of availability, access, or compatibility for use with your computer system. Students are solely responsible for their ability to access the online campus system. This includes, but is not limited to, knowledge in operating a computer, a properly functioning computer system and a functional internet connection. Occasionally, some businesses or even entire countries may apply network filters which may limit or restrict your access to the online campus system, or other third-party features of the campus web site. UHT is not responsible for any such network filtering, whether the filters be in place now - or at any time in the future. Extended Payment Terms Terms and Conditions for Extended Tuition Financing Plans for Degree Programs Applies to all monthly payment plans and any Automatic Monthly Online Installment Plans offered by UHT for Degree Programs. Those on extended tuition payment plans must enter into an automatic monthly credit card billing agreement with the college. It is an easy, efficient and safe way to submit your monthly tuition installment payments. Those without a major credit card (MasterCard, VISA, American Express, Discover) but have a U.S. Checking Accounts may also use automated monthly bank drafts through PayPal. This requires that the student set up a free account with PayPal – http://www.paypal.com Students may choose between having the secure PayPal system automatically deduct payment from their PayPal / Credit Card or Checking Account on a monthly basis – OR- choose to have the University Administration Office process your credit card manually each month. If you choose this option, you must complete the standard Credit Card Payment Form. Please note that PayPal can and will cancel any recurring installment subscriptions when a funding credit card expires or other account changes are made. If this occurs during your installment term, the Administration Office will create a new installment plan that will continue where your payments had left off. Students are responsible for reinstating their installment plan in a timely manner. Payments by Mailed Check With prior approval, students who prefer to mail their monthly payments by check may do so under the following provisions. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. We do understand that some students still prefer to send monthly installments by personal check through the postal service. For the college, accepting payments by mail, adds greatly to the administration time and cost required to process tuition payments on a monthly basis. We have therefore initiated the following guidelines for those who choose to send their installment payments to the college using this method: Those who wish to continue to pay their monthly installments by mailed personal check will be assessed an additional $5 processing fee to their monthly installment plan amount to cover college costs associated with handling paper checks. Late charges will accrue on payments not received within 14 days after installment due date . The late fee is $10 for each monthly payment not received within the 14-day grace period. Unless prior arrangements have been made with the university, student account payments not received within 30 days of the installment payment date will be considered delinquent. Payments not received for two consecutive months will cause the student's status to be set to “inactive”. Once a student account has been set to “inactive” status, no further coursework will be accepted, reviewed, graded or applied to the student's permanent record. Within a 6-month period of being set to inactive-status, a reinstatement fee of $250 will be required to reactivate the student's account. After 12-months of being on inactive-status, the student will be required to re-apply to the university in order to continue. Student accounts with check payments that are returned as non-payable from the bank will be assessed a $20 returned check fee. The above terms do not apply to those paying their tuition in FULL by personal check, with the exception of the returned check fee.
