Financial Policies

Students who enroll at Patten University assume responsibility for the payment of all tuition and fees in accordance with the financial policies set forth below.

Patten University reserves the right to change the tuition and fee schedule for any given term without prior notice. After the beginning of a term, no changes in tuition or fees will be made which affect that term.

Students who enroll on a semester basis have the option of making installment payments for tuition, fees, and room costs. A small fee is charged to set up a payment plan. The plan allows students to make four payments each semester.

Students may not enroll in a subsequent semester or course until any previous balance is paid in full. Grades and transcripts will not be released if a student owes Patten University for charges on their account.

Continuing students will be charged a late payment fee if they pre-enroll for the next semester and do not meet the payment deadline. Late charges are also incurred if a monthly payment is late on the payment plan.

Students who apply for Financial Aid but do not have an award letter at the start of classes need to make a first installment payment in order to enroll for the semester. A payment is needed from each student to insure that he/she is serious about attending Patten University and serious about completing the application process for Financial Aid.

Although there is variation in the costs of textbooks and supplies based on the number and type of courses taken, the University estimates that a student will spend a minimum of $500 per semester for books and supplies.

Tuition, fees and room charges will be refunded according to the schedule for traditional semesters. Students are eligible for a refund only if the proper forms from the Office of Records are completed indicating that the student is withdrawing from school. The date that the Office of Records receives the withdrawal form determines the date used in the refund calculation. Please note that some nonrefundable fees may apply during any semester. Please consult the current Tuition and Fee schedule for information.

Refunds of tuition and other charges to veterans receiving Veterans Benefits are pro-rated, based upon administration regulations Section 14254(C)(13) 14255.
