TUITION PAYMENT POLICY
All tuition and fees are due to Pacific McGeorge School of Law on or before the first day of classes.
Fall Term - August 15, 2011
Spring Term - January 9, 2012
Summer Term - May 14, 2012
The Business Office will work with the Financial Aid Office to verify the amount of loan money the student will be receiving. Upon verification of the loan proceeds, tuition that will be covered by the funds will be deferred until receipt of the funds. Loan funds will be applied directly to the tuition account for all courses for the term. Payment, for any portion not covered by loan disbursement, is due by the first day of class.
Students may pay by check, cash, money order or credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express). Payments may be made to Business Services by mail or in person, or if paying by credit card, by phone 916.739.7054.
NOTE: If a student should pay their tuition & fees by credit card and future financial aid is received we are bound by our merchant agreement to credit your credit card.
If a student withdraws or is dismissed during the year, all outstanding obligations become due and payable on the termination date.
Failure to make payment of tuition, fees, or other amounts owed to Pacific McGeorge School of Law when they become due is considered sufficient cause, until the obligation has been paid or adjusted, to suspend the student and withhold grades, transcripts, scholastic certificates, or degrees. The student will also not be eligible to register for future semesters.
No adjustment of tuition will be made for late enrollment, absences from class, leaves of absence for a portion of a semester, or when a student has been dismissed or suspended by official action of Pacific McGeorge School of Law.
Students auditing courses pay the same tuition and fees charged to students registered for credit.
BILLING
Bills will either be printed and mailed or distributed via your Pacific email account several times during the academic term. Bills are only generated if there is account activity. All bills are Due Upon Receipt. If a bill has not been distributed, students may contact Business Services at 916.739.7191.
REFUNDS
Any credit balance on a student’s account will be returned to the student in the form of a Refund Disbursement. University of the Pacific produces checks on Monday and Wednesday nights. Refunds generated as a result of net financial aid will be returned to the McGeorge campus for pick-up on Wednesday and Fridays. If these checks are not picked up by the end of the week, then McGeorge Business Services will mail the checks to the mailing address on file at the Registrar’s Office. Please allow a delay of up to five business days to receive Refund Disbursements via a paper check. Students that elect to receive Direct Deposit of these disbursements will receive the money normally within 24 hours of the check run process. All charges must be paid in full before refunds can be issued from any form of financial aid.
COURSE ADD/DROP
Students can add/drop from a course during the first week of each semester without penalty. The date of the add/drop will be the date when the Registrar receives a properly completed and signed form. Tuition charges for any changes made after the due date must be paid in full at the time of the change. A $40 fee will be charged for any add/drop changes after August 22, 2011.
WITHDRAWAL AND TRANSFER OF DIVISION
Students who withdraw or transfer divisions after classes begin each semester will have their tuition adjusted by the schedule below. To request a withdrawal from the School of Law, students must complete the Student Action Request form provided by the Registrar. Those students who receive institutional scholarships will have their scholarship reduced/prorated using the percentage of tuition charges below:
Week 3 20% tuition charged
Week 4 25% tuition charged
Week 5 35% tuition charged
Week 6 40% tuition charged
Week 7 45% tuition charged
Week 8 50% tuition charged
Week 9 55% tuition charged
Week 10 60% tuition charged
Week 11+ 100% tuition charged
Return to Title IV – Federal law requires that financial aid recipients who withdraw have their federal loans adjusted based on the Federal Return to Title IV formula. Return of Title IV funds is a federally mandated policy that applies only to students who receive federal financial aid and who withdraw, drop out, are dismissed, or take a Leave of Absence prior to completing 60% of a semester. The Return to Title IV funds policy does not apply to students who reduce their units but remain enrolled. Return of Title IV Funds will be used to determine how much aid, if any, must be returned to Title IV loan programs. The Title IV funds considered in the policy are the Federal Stafford Loan, Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, Federal Plus Loan and the Federal Perkins Loan. The policy does not apply to the Federal Work-Study Program.
The Return to Title IV funds calculation identifies two types of federal aid, earned and unearned. The earned aid is based on a percentage calculated by dividing the number of days the student completed by the number of days in the payment period. A student who remains enrolled beyond the 60% point earns all disbursed (received) and disbursable aid. Disbursable aid includes aid received and the aid that could have been (but was not) disbursed as of the withdrawal date. If earned aid exceeds disbursed aid, a post-withdrawal disbursement may be made. Pacific McGeorge School of Law will first credit post-withdrawal disbursements toward unpaid tuition and fees.
Pacific McGeorge School of Law will offer the student any part of the post-withdrawal disbursement not credited to school charges. Within 45 days of determination that the student withdrew, the student will be provided with a written notification of any post-withdrawal funds that are available to the student. No post-withdrawal disbursement will be made if the student does not respond within 14 days of the notification date.
Unearned aid is any disbursed aid that exceeds the amount of Title IV aid the student earned. The unearned aid amount is to be returned to the lender, a responsibility shared by the University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law and the student. Pacific McGeorge is responsible for returning the lesser of the total amount of unearned aid or Pacific McGeorge charges multiplied by the percentage of unearned aid. Pacific McGeorge charges used in the Return of Title IV Funds calculation include the amount that had been assessed to the student’s account before the student’s withdrawal. The student is responsible for the difference between the total unearned amount and Pacific McGeorge share.
Pacific McGeorge must return its share of unearned funds no later than 45 days after it determines that the student withdrew. Students must repay their share according to the terms and conditions stated in their promissory note(s). Funds returned to lenders by Pacific McGeorge will be distributed first to the Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, the Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan, the Federal Perkins Loan and finally the Federal Plus Loan.
INSTALLMENT PAYMENT PLAN
An installment plan to pay tuition expenses is offered to all students. Each student that elects to participate in the Installment Payment Plan must sign a contract with Business Services prior to the start of each semester. Students receiving financial aid may also elect this plan to pay any remaining tuition balance due.

(Note that there will be a $40 Installment Payment Plan Set-Up Fee and $20 Late Fee for Payment received after due date.)
Summer school students may take advantage of the Installment Payment Plan if registered for at least 6 units.
Any charges not paid as agreed may be subject to interest charges and late payment fees. If there is a failure to make any of the scheduled payments, as outlined by a signed contract, Pacific McGeorge may declare the unpaid balance to be in default and demand immediate payment of the entire unpaid balance including: principal, accrued interest, late fees and any applicable collection costs. Collections costs shall not exceed 30% of the principal, interest and late fees at the time of acceleration.
Unpaid balances will result in a student’s account being placed on administrative hold, which will prevent students from registering for the next semester, receiving a diploma and official transcripts.
