Terms and Conditions…

  1. Enrollment. Enrollment in Highlander Choice is accomplished by completing, signing and returning the application and budget forms on page 4 to the address indicated on page 2 together with the initial payment listed in the budget area.
  2. Budget Amount/Payments. Payment for the Highlander Choice Summer Payment Plans are set forth on the budget section on page 4. Past due fees or others fines(parking, damages, etc.), books or other personal expenses may not be included. Payments are due on or before stated dates of the session plan. All payments made though Highlander Choice will be credited directly to the student's account. In order for you to be enrolled in the Highlander Choice Payment Plan you must send the required amount due per the Budget Worksheet. No contracts will be established without the application fee and/or payment. Do not assume that your tuition is paid in full because you are participating in the Highlander Choice Payment Plan. If the Budget Worksheet amounts are less than the total due, the payer should pay with a separate check, the excess amount due or provide documentation of Financial Aid, Scholarships, etc. by the tuition payment deadline or contact Highlander Choice concerning the re-budget of your account.
  3. Refunds. Refunds from Highlander Choice will be issued and mailed directly to the student approximately two weeks after payments for the plan have been received (see Student Accounts' Payment of Tuition and Fees or the RU Student Handbook for university refund procedures). Please note that no "pending Highlander Choice credits" will be refunded in advance of reciving funds. Highlander Choice is not a loan and cannot be used to defer payment in order to receive refunds from financial aid.
  4. Fees and Other Charges. The application fee is non-refundable. Checks returned by the bank for any reason in conjunction with Highlander Choice will result in a $25 service charge being added to the student's account. If there are more than one consecutive returned payments and the payments have not been settled in full with the Student Accounts Office, Highlander Choice will consider the payments delinquent and the contract will be terminated (see 5. Failure to Pay). All checks will be deposited immediately upon receipt, regardless of the date on the check. Radford University will assess a 5% late charge for any payment received after the due date.
  5. Failure to Pay. Failure of a participant to pay any installment amount by the due date may result in the following: 1. The student will be blocked from registration and receiving transcripts and diplomas; 2. Late fees will be charged to the student account for each delinquent payment; 3. Termination of the Highlander Choice account. If contract is terminated you will not be allowed to enroll in the plan for future semesters; 4. Cancellation of classes; 5. Account will be submitted to a private collection agency or the Attorney General's Office for collection as well as a credit reporting bureau. The university will recover all reasonable collection fees and attorney's fees from delinquent debtors.
  6. Cancellation and Re-budgets of Contract by Participant. If the participant finds that Highlander Choice is no longer needed or if adjustments need to be made (financial aid, etc.), it is his/her responsibility to cancel or change the contract, in writing, 10 days prior to the next scheduled payment. Failure to cancel or change the contract will make the participant liable for any late fees incurred during that time.
