Payment Policy

All tuition and fees are due at registration. Students may elect to use the Sallie Mae Tuition Payment Plan (www.tuitionpay.com). Veterans are subject to the same payment requirements as non-veterans. All checks and money orders should be made payable to Coppin State University for the exact amount of the charges. To ensure proper credit, students must write their student ID number on all checks and money orders submitted to the University.

All previous balances must be paid prior to registration for the following academic semester. A non-refundable application fee must accompany the application for admission. This fee will not affect student's charges. Each accepted applicant must pay an acceptance fee of $25, which will be credited to the student's account.

All students are responsible for all charges incurred for the semesters in which they enroll. Any student who withdraws (from the University or a course) must withdraw in accordance with the policies and procedures set forth in the University Catalog and course schedule booklet for the semester in which he enrolls in order to have charges adjusted or not be held liable for charges.

If a student does not adhere to the proper withdrawal procedures, the student forfeits the right to any adjustment and waiver of a liability to the University. Refer to charge reduction schedule in this booklet. If a student's account becomes delinquent, the University will pursue collection of all outstanding balances under regulations of the State of Maryland. Accounts not paid to the University will be referred to the Central Collection Unit of the State of Maryland for possible legal action. The student is liable for the outstanding balance and collections costs in an amount approximately equal to 17% of the unpaid balance. The student's credit rating will be affected.

The student is responsible for payment of tuition and fee charges for the course(s) in which he/she is enrolled regardless of whether he/she attends the course(s). Students must complete and sign an official drop from at the Office of Records and Registration before the official start date of the semester to avoid being charged full tuition and fees.
