Payment Policies

• Tuition and the technology and educational resource fees are due on or before the first day of class for each course. This includes students who are taking Drop-In courses.  Notice from a student that he/she will be receiving employee assistance is not acceptable as payment.
• Students may pay in advance for any number of courses.
• A late fee (see above) will be assessed to a student's account if he/she fails to make payment for tuition, Technology fee and the Educational Resource fee by the due date.
• Students who have not paid by the midpoint of a course are subject to being administratively withdrawn from the program.  Students will be able to finish the course already in progress, but will not be allowed to continue beyond that point.
• If a student is employed by an organization that will pay the tuition and/or fees directly to Cornerstone University, the employer must make payment to the PGS Accounting office on or before the first night of each course. The employer must also provide a voucher or letter of “intent to pay” for any course(s) that will be covered under the organization’s direct bill policy. A voucher, which can have any number of courses listed, needs to be received in the PGS Accounting Office on or before the first night of class of the earliest course being submitted. For new students, the Accounting office must receive the voucher or letter two weeks prior to orientation.

Students with Financial Aid

New students paying tuition using financial aid must be ready for finalization of their loans or grants on or before the night of orientation. In order for loans and grants to be ready for finalization, the student must have completed the FAFSA, submitted the Institutional Financial Aid application, Master Promissory Note, Loan Request Form, Entrance Interview, and any other requested documents to the Student Financial Services office. If the student’s financial aid application process is incomplete, he/she must pay as a “cash-paying” (cash, check, money order, cashier’s check) student or have written approval from the PGS Director of Enrollment in order to start.

Students without Financial Aid

Students starting the program without financial aid in place must have their loan or grant finalized before the end of the first course. Those students who have not had their loan or grant finalized must contact the PGS Accounting office immediately to make payment and to avoid being withdrawn from the program. Second-year financial aid students must re-apply prior to the start date of the last course in the prior loan period. Failure to do so will result in their being classified as a cash-paying student.
