To take advantage ot this plan, prior to the beginning of each term/semester the student must furnish a letter on the Company's letterhead stating that the student is employed by the Company and that the Company will reimburse the tuition and fees incurred for that student. Payment is deferred up to 60 days after the end of the term. Students in the program cannot register owing more than one past term.

Administrative Withdrawal Policy

Students who have enrolled in classes but have not made a payment or payment arrangements by the payment due date will be notified of the University’s intention to withdraw them from classes. The due date is six business days before the first day of the term. This policy does not apply to those students who have received financial aid awards. Students who still have not made satisfactory arrangements by the end of final day of registration will be dropped from their classes.

Students who are withdrawn lose their enrollment in the classes they were registered for and must follow the normal add/drop policies to be re-registered into class. This requires obtaining instructor’s signature and advisor’s signature for open classes that have met or are closed and advisor’s signature for open classes during the add/drop week. A late registration fee will be also assessed for those re-registering.
