Registration/Enrollment for SOE Continuing Education courses will still be handled through the SOE Continuing Education office - NOT RamWeb. Payment for these courses (except contract/Annenberg courses) will be billed through the CSU Student Financial Services Office. Payment for course registration is not needed at the time of enrollment.

Please do not send payment with your registration/enrollment.

You will be mailed a billing statement from the University following the payment policies described below.

University Payment Plan

Any student who completes registration agrees to pay the University according to the payment terms documented in the Colorado State University Class Schedule under the Payment of Accounts section. Unless you officially withdraw from the University during the authorized withdrawal periods, you are obligated to pay the full amount of the assessment and are subject to grades regardless of whether you attend class. Late charges of 1.5% per month, and other penalties as described therein, may be assessed for late payment.

Students are permitted to pay for the primary charges of tuition, general student fees, and university technology fees in three installments each fall or spring term. Summer charges are due as billed.

Students who register after the first billing cycle of the semester will be billed two installment amounts of twothirds and one-third, or a single installment of the full amount, depending on the date of your registration.

Tuition, general fees, and university technology fee charges are due in three monthly installments each term as follows:

Charges	Fall 2007	Spring 2008	Summer 2008
Summer tuition and fees			6/10/2008
1/3 tuition and fees	8/10/2007	1/10/2008
1/3 tuition and fees*	9/10/2007	2/11/2008
1/3 tuition and fees**	10/10/2007	3/10/2008
*2/3 if not assessed on the first statement
**All due if not assessed on first two statements

Payments of all University charges is to be received in the University Cashier's Office by the due date to avoid late payment penalties and account "holds." Go to the following website to read about payment information - http://www.colostate.edu/Depts/BusFin/bursar.html.

The University will not register a student, confer a degree on a student, or provide a transcript to any student or former student who has any financial obligation to the University (other than a loan not yet due).

Drop and Refund Policy - New Fall 2007

The following information pertains to policies and procedures of Colorado State University and the Division of Continuing Education (DCE) that affect your enrollment in SOE continuing education courses. It is your responsibility to be familiar with these policies and, unless otherwise specified, this policy applies to all credit programs and courses. SOE Continuing Education reserves the right to change policies and procedures without notification.

Drop and University Withdrawal deadlines for SOE Continuing Education credit courses differ from University deadlines. Any changes made to your class schedule may impact your financial obligation to the University and your eligibility for financial aid. Nonattendance does not constitute a drop.

Two weeks prior to the first week of class is the free drop period in which you may drop courses without penalty and receive a full refund of tuition and course fees. Courses dropped during the free drop period will not be reflected on your transcript. Open-entry/Career & Technical Credentialing courses begin the day you register; there is not a free drop period for these courses.

Tuition refunds for drops received after the free drop period is dependent upon the duration of the course (in weeks), the effective drop date, and the drop deadline (see table below). The effective drop date is the day SOE Continuing Education receives your request.

Credit card refunds require 10 business days; check refunds may take up to eight weeks and are mailed to the address on file.
