Methods of Payment
Tuition and fee payments may be made by check, credit card, or money order.  Payments by check or money order are preferred. 

Late Payment Fees
Tuition payments that are made after the published due date for a semester incur a late payment fee of $100.00.  Payments toward a Deferred Tuition Payment Plan that are made after the 12th of a month incur a late payment fee of $25.00 plus interest. 

Financial Assistance 
The University offers a Deferred Tuition Payment Plan that allows students to extend the payment of their tuition beyond the period of their training.  For detailed information about this plan, contact the University Business Office at businessoffice@rmuohp.edu. 

If a student’s payment toward a Deferred Tuition Payment Plan becomes more than 60 days overdue, tuition and fees for all semesters that the student has attended to that date become immediately due and payable, and the student’s University records are placed on Financial Hold.  Students whose University records are on Financial Hold may not participate in their academic program activities, progress to the next semester, take a qualifying exam, perform recognized doctoral research, nor graduate until the reason for the Financial Hold is resolved with the University’s Business Office.  If such payments become more than 90 days overdue, the student is dismissed from the University and the student’s account is sent to an outside agency for collection.  

Discontinuance and Tuition Refund Policy
A student may withdraw from the University and apply for a refund of paid tuition and program fees by notifying the University Registrar.  The student’s withdrawal date is the date of such notification.  The amount of paid tuition and program fees refundable is based on the student’s withdrawal date and is calculated according to the following schedule:   

      Tuition Refund Rate Schedule

Within five days after the Student’s Date of Enrollment............................................. 100%
