Tuition, Billing and Due Dates
All bills are posted online. Paper bills are no longer issued.
Christopher Newport University bills tuition and fees, and room and board charges by the semester:
- Fall bills will be available in July and due in August.
- Spring bills will be available in November and due in December.
Tuition and fees are due by midnight on the published payment due date.
For registrations, schedule adjustments, housing and meal plan assignments taking place after early registration and the initial billing, payment is due by the published payment due date. If this date has passed, payment is due in full on the date of the change. It is the student’s responsibility to pay all charges by the published payment due date each term.
Cancellation of Registration for Nonpayment
The University may cancel registration for students who have not made a payment, established an authorized payment plan or a financial arrangement with the Student Accounts Office by the published payment due date. The University does not guarantee that students will be able to reclaim their original schedules. Classes are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Delinquent Financial Obligations
Students who have outstanding financial obligations to the University (including tuition and fees, room and board, parking, library fees and fines, checks returned for nonsufficient funds, etc.) may be refused all services at the University until these financial obligations have been paid in full.
Students may not be permitted to register for subsequent terms and the University will not issue degrees. This policy also applies to students who retain property that belongs to the University.
If a student’s financial account becomes delinquent:
- The University will charge a late payment penalty.
- The University is permitted to attach Virginia state income tax refunds or lottery winnings in repayment of any debt owed to the University, under the provision of sections 58-19.6 through 58-19.21 of the code of Virginia, enacted by the 1981 General Assembly, which states that a Virginia income tax refund due a taxpayer may be applied against any delinquent indebtedness owed the State.
The University reserves the right to withdraw or change the fees indicated above. Interpretation of financial policy and fees is the responsibility of the Chief Financial Officer. The president of the University has final authority.
