Fall
2008 - Student Billing
The student bill includes the Tuition, Fee, Housing, Meal Plan,
Financial Aid, Payment, TMS Monthly Payment Plan
Budget, and Scholarship information available as of the billing date.
The following payment options are available:
Full Payment: Payment of the full balance due
by the due date printed on the bill.
TMS: Tuition Management Systems/Monthly Payment
Plan (TMS) participants receive a student bill, which includes the Fall
portion of the budget subtracted from the total charges. Any balance due
indicates that your account is under budget. You will need
to pay the balance due to LHUP or increase your payments with TMS.
Any credit balance (negative amount) due indicates that you are over budget.
In this case you may lower your payments with TMS or receive a refund
check from LHUP at the end of the plan in May.
Please contact TMS to make budget adjustments. Any questions
regarding your budget under the TMS Payment Plan should be directed to (888)
285-3052 or online at www.afford.com/lhup
Sending your payment: Please use the envelope
provided to send your payment. The return envelope shows a Cleveland Post
Office Box. This is the correct address. Please use this envelope for
mailing all payments with a bill stub.
Please send all other correspondence including scholarship
information and payments without a bill stub to:
Student Financial Services
118 Russell Hall
Lock Haven, PA 17745
Items not reflected on the bill: When you
receive a bill, which you believe will be covered by financial aid but
the aid is not reflected on the bill, follow these steps:
1. List the financial aid award(s) on the top portion of this
bill and deduct the amount(s) from the balance due. Provide proof of the
award (e.g. copy of your Financial Aid Award Notice, loan approval,
athletic grant contract, scholarship notification). Return the top
portion with payment for any balance due by the due date on the bill.
2. If the amount of your financial aid exceeds your charges, list
your financial aid and return the top portion of the bill. Student
Financial Services will process your financial aid, and refunds are
available after the semester begins once the financial aid has been
received and credited to your student account.
3. If you are a LHU Athletic Award recipient, list and deduct
the amount of your award. The award will not be posted to your account
until the scholarship is received from the Athletic Department.
Late Payment Fee: If the bill is not paid by
the due date, a late fee of $30.00 will be assessed to your
account.
Balance due on account: A statement of
account will be sent each month after the semester begins for all
accounts with a past due balance. If you were expecting financial aid,
which has not yet been applied to your account, please contact the
Student Financial Services Office or the third party payer (i.e. lender,
scholarship).
Hold Notice: A student account with a balance
due after the start of the semester will be subject to a hold on
registration and records. The hold will remain on the account until
payment is made in full. A hold prevents the student from
registering, receiving transcripts, and receiving a diploma.
Returned Check Charge: A charge of $25.00 will
be assessed to the student account when the bank returns a check due to
insufficient funds.
Student Refunds: Refund checks are
processed on a weekly basis after classes begin. Students will
receive an e-mail when the refund has been processed. The check
will be available in 3-5 business days from the date of the e-mail for
students who attend main campus.
All checks will be mailed for students attending the Clearfield campus,
for students taking only web-based courses and for students who have a
Parent Plus loan.
Any refund check not picked up within two weeks of receiving the
e-mail will be mailed to the student's permanent address.
Please keep in mind that refunds are generated only after a credit
balance is created on the account. A refund check is processed when
financial aid or loans are received by the university and posted to the
student account. Any problems with this process could delay the
availability of the refund check. All first-time Stafford loan
borrowers must complete the Master Promissory Note (MPN) and entrance
counseling in order for the Stafford
loans to be disbursed. For questions about Stafford
and Parent Plus loans or to complete the MPN, please contact American
Education Services (AES/PHEAA) at www.aessuccess.org. No
financial aid or loans will be disbursed for students who have been
selected for verification until the requirements are completed.
Because financial aid can change for part-time students, refund
checks are not generated until Student Financial Services reviews the
financial aid. Refund checks for part-time students are normally
available 3-4
weeks after the semester begins.
Students with concerns about their refunds should contact Student
Financial Services after the first week of each semester.
