Student Accounting Services

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
Student Accounting Services maintains all financial records for students and each AUP student has an account that reflects all required charges and payments.
 
Financial Responsibility
 
Students and/or their Financially Responsible Person (FRP) are accountable for full payment of tuition and fees by the deadlines indicated by Student Accounting Services. The FRP is the individual who agreed to be financially responsible for a student’s University expenses. The FRP receives all invoices and financial notices and is liable for all fees. To change the FRP, students should contact the Registrar’s Office; to change the FRP before their arrival on campus, they should contact their admissions counselor.
 
Payment Due Dates
 
Tuition must be fully paid prior to the start of classes; students will not be allowed to attend courses unless their full semester tuition has been paid. Student Accounting Services may cancel (delete) registration or place a hold on academic records for students who do not complete proper payment of tuition on time.
 
 
 
 
 
 

  Monthly Payment Plan

 
Full-time students may apply to pay on the Monthly Payment Plan. This plan has four monthly payments for each semester; all installments must be paid before registration. All non-tuition fees will be divided and included within each payment. A service fee is charged for the monthly plan.
 
 

  Semester Payment Plan

 
Full-time students may opt to pay one-half of the annual amount of tuition prior to the start of each semester. Students who do not pay for the entire semester’s tuition prior to the beginning of the semester are automatically enrolled in the Monthly Payment Plan.
 
 

  Yearly Payment Plan

 

Full-time students may pay for a full academic year (Fall and Spring semesters). Payment must be received prior to Fall semester registration. Students using this plan benefit from a tuition reduction. Students receiving a University tuition grant are not eligible for this tuition reduction. Yearly payments are not accepted during the Spring semester.

 

Note: Part-time students are not eligible for any of the payment plans; they must pay for the semester in full.

 
 

  Currency of Payment

 
Student accounts are maintained in Euros and all students must pay their tuition and fees in Euros (with the exception of US loan checks).
 
 

  Methods of Payment

 

Payment may be made by personal check, bank check, wire transfer, money order, travelers checks, cash or credit card (Visa, Mastercard & American Express). All credit card payments are processed in Euros and may be made by calling or faxing Student Accounting Services. The student's name and ID number must be provided with all payments. 

 
 

  Special Fees

 
Special fees (indicated on Student Accounting Services Information Sheet) include: Transfer Credit Fee, Re-registration Fee, Late Payment Fee, Check Collection Fee, Returned Check Fee, other various processing fees. When appropriate, they are charged by Student Accounting Services directly to the student’s account.
 
 

  Interest charges

 

Student's accounts are charged interest at the rate of 1% per month on any outstanding negative balance, calculated on a daily basis.

 

For students on a monthly payment plan the 1% interest charge will not go into effect until the end of the semester on any unpaid balance.

 
 

  Delinquent student accounts

 
Delinquent student accounts will be sent to a collection agency for recovery. The collection agency will charge a fee up to 35% on any unpaid balance.
 
 
 

 
 
A student's account is considered in good financial standing when both of the following conditions are met:
 
 

   

all payment plan agreements have been respected or the account shows a positive balance;

   

there are no outstanding obligations to the Library, the Bookstore, the Housing Office, Cultural Programs, Student Affairs, or Student Accounting Services at the end of a semester or academic year.

 

Transcripts and grades will not be issued to a student whose account is not in good financial standing. Students will be refused re-enrollment for the following semesters, and summer sessions, until all debts are cleared.
