Summer 2008

Student Billing Information

 

Each summer session is billed separately; therefore if you are enrolled in more than one session, you will receive a separate bill for each session. The session each bill pertains to is noted near the top of the bill.

 

Payment is expected by the due date printed on the bill. Please use the envelope provided to send your payment or pay online. Payment plans are not available during the summer session.

 

When you receive a bill which you believe will be covered by financial aid, follow these steps:

 

  1. Review your bill to see if the financial aid has already been deducted.  If the aid has not been deducted and you have proof of its approval, you may deduct the amount from the balance due.  Please enclose proof of the financial aid with your bill.

     
  2. List the financial aid award(s) on the top portion of this bill and deduct the amount(s) from the balance 
    due.

 

  1. Return the top portion with payment of any balance due by the due date on the bill.

     
  2. If your financial aid is more than your charges, list your financial aid and return the top portion of the bill. Your financial aid will be processed by the Student Financial Services and most refunds are available during the third week of the second summer session. If you are only enrolled in the first summer session, you may contact Student Financial Services about the availability of your refund.

 

If the bill is not paid by the due date, a late fee of $30.00 will be assessed to your account.  A hold will also be applied to the account which will prevent registration, receiving a diploma, or receiving transcripts.

 

The balance must be paid in full before the hold will be removed from your account.  If your balance is not paid by the end of the summer sessions, any classes scheduled for the Fall 2008 semester will be cancelled.

 

Please remember that student bills will be sent for any of the following reasons:

 

  1. the beginning of each summer session
  2. registration changes
  3. a balance remaining on the student account after the start of the session
  4. the amount of financial aid disbursed to your student account is different than the amount expected

 

Although new bills will be sent for each session, please note that any remaining balance from the first summer session will be reflected on a subsequent summer session bill.

 

 A listing of LHUP Administrative Office contact information has been included. Please contact the appropriate office immediately when you have a question so that the situation may be addressed as quickly as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS)

 

1. Does LHUP offer any payment plans during the summer sessions?

 

Because the summer sessions are so short, there are no payment plans available.

 

2. The financial aid I’m receiving is not listed on my bill.  What should I do?

 

 If you have written notification of approved financial aid, you may deduct the aid amount from the balance due. Please enclose proof of that financial aid with your bill.  Send payment of any remaining balance due along with the top portion of your bill.

 

3. The amount of financial aid I’m receiving exceeds my charges.  When will I receive a refund?

 

Refunds from federal or state grants (e.g. Pell Grant and/or PHEAA State Grant) will generally be available beginning the third week of the second summer session. You must be officially enrolled (i.e. attending class) in at least 6 credit hours in order to receive a Federal Stafford or PLUS Loan as well as most alternative loans. 
Therefore, if you are enrolled in less than 6 credit hours in one summer session, your refund from a loan will be withheld until the next summer session begins. Your refund will be processed when you are officially enrolled in at least 6 credit hours.

 

4. I only recently applied for financial aid.   What should I do with the bill?

 

You may deduct any financial aid for which you have received written notification. Please see FAQ #2 which pertains to financial aid not listed on your bill. If you have not received written notification of your financial aid, you must pay the balance due by the date specified.

 

5. If I pay the bill now, can I still apply for financial aid?

 

Yes, even if you pay now, you can still apply for financial aid. If you receive financial aid after you have paid the student bill, you will receive a refund when your student account has a credit balance.

 

6. I need a copy of my class schedule? How can I get one?

 

If changes in your class schedule result in an adjustment to your charges, you will be sent a revised student bill.

Students may verify registration by accessing the LHUP web site at www.lhup.edu [Registrar/Registration, Registration For Students].
The User Name is your student ID. The PIN is the same one that you use for registration and grade access. If you do not have a PIN, it is the three or four digits that comprise your birth month and birthday. For example, if your birthday is February 4, your PIN will be 204. If your birthday is October 4, your PIN will be 1004.

 

7. I’ve altered my original summer registration (e.g. dropped or added a course).  Will my financial aid change?

 

It may. Financial aid for summer session can be a bit complicated.  Please contact Student Financial Service to discuss your concerns with a staff member.

 

8. I’ve been charged Non-PA tuition, but I think I qualify as a Pennsylvania resident.  What should I do?

 

Please contact Student Financial Services to discuss your circumstances.

 

9. How can I arrange for housing accommodations for the Summer Sessions?

 

Please contact the Student Life/Housing Office in 308 Sullivan Hall or call              570-484-2317.

 

10. I am doing an internship over the summer and won’t be on campus, do I still need to pay the fees?

 

Yes, fees are mandatory and are not charged by whether you use them or not but by how many credits you are earning. You will be charged based on the number of credits earned on that internship.

 

11. I am auditing a course, will I be charged for it?

 

Courses taken on an audit basis are charged regular tuition and fees.
