The College policy requires tuition be paid prior to the beginning of each semester and term. Any unpaid balances will be pursued for payment to the fullest extent in accordance with state and federal law and according to College procedures.

    Students registering on or after the last day for early registration, including those students adding classes, must make payment arrangements at the time of registration. The class schedule will list the deadline and specific amounts. Payment may be made by cash, check, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, or through a College-approved payment plan.

    Students who have a bona fide third party agency paying their tuition or who participate in the Academic Management Services Monthly Payment Plan will not be required to pay tuition at the time of registration provided there is written authorization in the College's Business Office that payment will be made to West Virginia Northern.

    At the end of the regular registration period, students may register by completing the required registration forms and paying the assessed tuition and late registration fee of $15.00. The late fee does not apply to student on wait lists or who register for developmental classes only. In addition, students registering in the 6th through the 10th day of classes must obtain permission of course instructors in writing. After the 15th day of regular scheduled classes, students may not register for courses without payment of late registration fee, permission of the course instructors and permission of the Campus Executive Director.

    The late registration fee may be waived in instances where the delay in registration was deemed to be the fault of the College and not the student. This waiver will be initiated by the Campus Executive Director and authorized by the Dean of Business and Financial Affairs or their designees.

    The College may withhold designated services, including evaluation of courses to be transferred from other colleges and/or universities, registration for additional courses, grade reports, evaluation of credit toward degree programs, official transcripts of credits earned at West Virginia Northern and awarding of the diploma indicating degree or certificate attainment, for students who have outstanding tuition or fee obligations to the Business Office, financial obligations to other departments of the College or who have defaulted on any educational loans.
