Students who register at UVU must read and agree annually.
FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: I agree to pay all tuition, fees, and other related costs that result from my initial
registration, any future registration, and/or future drop/add activity and understand
that acceptance of these terms constitutes a promise to pay agreement.
Payment of Tuition and Fees/Promise to Pay: I understand and agree that when I register for classes at Utah Valley University
or receive any service from Utah Valley University, I am accepting full responsibility
to pay all tuition, fees, and other incurred costs, both direct and indirect, that
result from my initial registration, any future registration, future add/drop activity,
and other receipt of services. I understand that when I register I am reserving a
seat in those classes, and that I am responsible to pay for all classes for which
I am registered or do not drop prior to the 100% refund deadline.
Link to Registration Dates and Deadlines (Student Timetable)
Link to Drop Procedures
I understand that if I am unable to pay my tuition in full by the published payment
due date, I may have the option of enrolling in a Short-Term Tuition Payment Plan.
I understand that administrative, clerical, or technical billing errors do not absolve
me of my financial responsibility to pay the correct amount of tuition, fees, and
other associated financial obligations assessed as a result of my registration. I
further understand that registration for a course incurs immediate charges and my
failure to attend class or receive a bill does not absolve me of my financial responsibility
as described above.
In addition, I agree to assume any unpaid financial obligations that my third-party
sponsor (i.e. private employer, military installation, government agency, etc.) fails
to pay to UVU on my behalf by the end of the semester.
Returned Payments: Returned Check Fees are charged when a paper check or electronic check is returned
by your bank. Check payments are typically returned because of insufficient funds,
check cancellation, or account closure but can also be returned if bank information
is entered incorrectly for an online payment.
I understand and agree that if I submit a paper check or electronic check to Utah
Valley University that is returned unpaid for ANY REASON I must pay the original payment
amount plus a $20.00 returned check charge. I further understand that consequences
of not paying a returned check may include the withholding of registration, transcripts,
or immediate cancellation of my classes and that UVU may refuse to accept personal
check payments from me in the future.
DROPPING/WITHDRAWING FROM COURSES: I understand and agree it is my responsibility to drop my own classes if I decide
not to attend and further understand that I must drop my classes and/or file a Leave
of Absence before the 100% Refund Deadline or I will be responsible for all tuition
and fees.
I acknowledge that if I am not planning to attend, it is my responsibility to drop my classes. I understand and agree that I must drop my courses prior to the 100% refund deadline
as published on the Registration Dates and Deadlines (Student Timetable) or I am obligated to pay all tuition and fee charges.
I understand that submitting a Leave of Absence does not absolve me of any financial obligation to Utah Valley University unless
it is completed prior to the 100% refund deadline. I understand and agree that if
I choose to submit a Leave of Absence after the 100% refund deadline I will still
be responsible to pay for the classes I have dropped. I further understand and agree
that withdrawal from my classes may affect my financial aid eligibility and I will
be responsible to repay any disbursements that are reversed on my student account
and returned to the original aid source.
CONSEQUENCES OF DELINQUENT ACCOUNT/COLLECTION: I agree to pay all charges by the published deadlines and understand the consequences
of delinquencies on my account including late payment charges, registration holds,
and possible collection fees.
In the event that I default on this agreement and it becomes necessary to place this
account for collection, I agree to pay collection fees, not to exceed 50% of the debt,
plus any court costs and/or attorney fees resulting from the enforcement of this agreement.
(Collection fees are in addition to the principal amount, fees, and interest charges.)
Additionally, I agree that UVU shall have the right to offset any monies due me from
UVU against the balance due on my student account.
COMMUNICATION: I understand all correspondence from Utah Valley University will be sent to my myUVU
email account and therefore I am responsible for reading the e-mails I receive from
UVU on a timely basis. I agree to keep my contact information current with UVU and
further agree to allow Utah Valley University and its agents to contact me at any
address, telephone, or cell phone number that I provide now or in the future.
Method of Communication: I understand that Utah Valley University uses electronic billing as its official billing
method and that correspondence from Utah Valley University, including notifications
of outstanding debt, may be sent to my myUVU email account. I further understand that
the University may send correspondence and paper bills via the U.S. Postal Service
to my Local and/or Permanent address(es) listed in myUVU. Therefore, I acknowledge
that I am responsible for reading the emails and all other correspondence I receive
from UVU on a timely basis. I understand that failure to review my bill does not constitute
a valid reason for not paying my bill on time.
Contact Information and Consent to Communication: I agree to keep my contact information current with UVU for purposes of continued
communication regarding any amounts that remain due and owing to UVU or to receive
general information from UVU.
I further agree to allow Utah Valley University and its agents to contact me at any
address, telephone, or cell phone number that I provide now or in the future, using
automated telephone dialing systems, artificial or pre-recorded voice or text message,
or personal calls. I also authorize UVU or its agents to contact me not only at my
myUVU email address but also at any other email address that I provide to the University.
FINANCIAL AID DISBURSEMENTS: Not all UVU students will apply for or receive Federal Financial Aid but in anticipation
of students applying for and receiving aid at a later date in the award year, UVU
asks all students to review and agree to the following:
I understand that if I am expecting Financial Aid, I am responsible to follow up and
ensure I have met all requirements to receive it, and acknowledge that I may be charged
a late fee if my Financial Aid has not disbursed by the Late Fee Deadline. I further
acknowledge that aid is contingent upon my enrollment and attendance in each class.
I understand that I am responsible to follow up on the status of my Financial Aid
Award and ensure that I have met all the requirements to receive it. I agree that
it is my responsibility to ensure that it has been credited to my student account
by the first day of classes and that I am responsible for any remaining balance not
paid by my Financial Aid Award. I understand that if I have not been offered a Financial
Aid Award by the Payment Deadline, it is my responsibility to make other payment arrangements
until my aid disburses. I understand that even if I am waiting for financial aid,
I may still be charged a late payment fee if I have not made other payment arrangements
by the Late Fee Deadline.
Federal Aid: I understand that aid described as “estimated” on my Financial Aid Award does not
represent actual or guaranteed payment, but is an estimate of the aid I may receive
if I meet all requirements stipulated by that aid program.
I understand that my Financial Aid Award is contingent upon my continued enrollment
and attendance in each class upon which my financial aid eligibility was calculated.
If I drop any class before completion, I understand that my financial aid eligibility
may decrease and some or all of the financial aid awarded to me may be returned to
the Department of Education (ED). If some or all of my financial aid is returned to
the Department of Education because I dropped or failed to attend class, I agree to
repay all returned aid that was disbursed to my account and resulted in a credit balance
that was refunded to me.
Prizes, Awards, Scholarships, and Grants: I understand that all prizes, awards, scholarships, and grants awarded to me will
be credited to my student account and applied toward any outstanding balance. I further
understand that my receipt of a prize, award, scholarship, or grant is considered
a financial resource according to federal Title IV financial aid regulations, and
may therefore reduce my eligibility for other federal and/or state financial aid (i.e.,
loans, grants, Federal Work Study) which, if already disbursed to my student account,
must be reversed and returned to the aid source.
Additional Terms and Conditions
FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT (FERPA)
Except as may specifically be provided by pertinent statute or regulations, I understand
that the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act prohibits Utah Valley University
from releasing information from my education record to a third party (including my
parents or spouse) without my written permission. I further understand that all students
taking courses at UVU are protected under FERPA regardless of age and if I want UVU
to share my information with someone else, I must provide written permission by following
the FERPA procedure.
I understand that I may revoke my permission at any time as instructed in the same
procedure.
Every student must read and agree to the following three additional statements in
order to register at UVU:
ENTIRE AGREEMENT
With respect to the matters described herein, this agreement supersedes all prior
understandings, representations, negotiations and correspondence between the student
and Utah Valley University, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with
respect to the matters described, and shall not be modified or affected by any course
of dealing or course of performance. No change or modification of this Agreement shall
be valid unless it be in writing and signed by both the student and the University.
Any modification is specifically limited to those policies and/or terms addressed
in the modification.
GOVERNING LAW AND EFFECT OF PARTIAL INVALIDATION
This Agreement shall be construed under and interpreted in accordance with the laws
of the State of Utah. In the event that any portion of this Agreement is found invalid,
that portion may be severed from and shall not affect the validity of the remaining
provisions.
CONSENT TO JURISDICTION/CHOICE OF FORUM
The student consents and agrees that all legal proceedings relating to subject matters
covered in this Agreement shall be maintained in courts in the State of Utah and the
student consents and agrees that jurisdiction and venue for such proceedings shall
lie exclusively with courts located in the State of Utah.
Please indicate your acceptance of the following:
Federal Financial Aid regulations require UVU to obtain authorization from each student
regarding payment of non- institutional charges. Not all UVU students will apply for
or receive Federal Financial Aid but in anticipation of students applying and receiving
aid at a later date in the award year, UVU asks all students to review and respond
to the following options.
Financial Aid Consent 1: I authorize UVU to use my Federal Financial Aid funds to pay non-institutional charges
(items such as late registration fees, late payment fees, parking citations, book
fines, etc.) in addition to tuition and fee charges for the current award year.
I understand that I may use my Federal Financial Aid (Pell Grant, Stafford Loans,
SEOG, Perkins, and other such funds, including late disbursements) to pay non-institutional
charges and other educationally related charges in addition to tuition and fees. These
non-institutional charges may include items such as late registration fees, late payment
fees, library fines, parking citations, returned check fees, etc. This consent will
remain intact for the remainder of my time at UVU unless I choose to rescind my decision
in writing.
I understand I may rescind my decision to have Federal Financial Aid pay my non-institutional
charges for the current award year by contacting the Bursar’s Office (BA-108) and
completing a Rescinding Financial Aid Authorization form prior to my last day of enrollment
during the academic year. I understand that any revocation of my decision is not retroactive
but will take effect on the date my signed request is received by the Bursar’s Office.
Financial Aid Consent 2: I authorize UVU to use my Federal Financial Aid funds to pay non-institutional charges
(items such as late registration fees, late payment fees, parking citations, book
fines, etc.) for the prior award year (total amount up to but not exceeding $200).
I understand that I may use my Federal Financial Aid (Pell Grant, Stafford Loans,
SEOG, Perkins, and other such funds, including late disbursements) to pay non-institutional
charges for the prior award year (total amount up to but not exceeding $200). These
non-institutional charges may include items such as late registration fees, late payment
fees, library fines, parking citations, returned check fees, etc. This consent will
remain intact for the remainder of my time at UVU unless I choose to rescind my decision
in writing.
I understand I may rescind my decision to have Federal Financial Aid pay my non-institutional
charges of up to $200 for the prior award year by contacting the Bursar’s Office (BA-108)
and completing a Rescinding Financial Aid Authorization form prior to my last day
of enrollment during the academic year. I understand that any revocation of my decision
is not retroactive but will take effect on the date my signed request is received
by the Bursar’s Office.
Electronic 1098-T: I understand and consent that if I am eligible to receive a 1098-T tax document,
it will be provided to me in electronic form through Tuition Payment PLUS, and I understand
that I will not receive a paper copy through the mail. I understand that my consent
will remain in effect for each year that I attend Utah Valley University. I further
understand that I may choose to opt-out of the electronic format by contacting the
UVU Bursar’s Office, after which future 1098-T tax documents would be sent to me in
paper form through the U.S. Postal Service.
I understand I must provide my Social Security number (SSN) or taxpayer identification
number (TIN) to Utah Valley University upon request as required by Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) regulations for Form 1098-T reporting purposes.
I understand that Utah Valley University will provide my 1098-T tax document to me
in electronic form and understand I may view or print this form through Tuition Payment
PLUS when it becomes available. I further understand that I will receive an email
notification to my myUVU email account when the completed form is available to access
from Tuition Payment PLUS. I understand Adobe Reader software must be installed on
my computer to view 1098-T statements and acknowledge that I can download Adobe Reader free of charge by visiting the Adobe home page.
I further understand I can grant authorized user access to my parent(s) or guardian(s)
and allow them the ability to view my 1098-T tax document through Tuition Payment
PLUS. I understand this choice is optional but may be particularly helpful to me
if I plan to be away for a humanitarian or religious mission, military service, or
any event where I may be absent during tax season. I understand that this access can
be granted and rescinded by me at any time.
I understand that my consent for electronic delivery will remain in effect for each
year I attend Utah Valley University unless I choose to opt-out or withdraw my consent.
To opt-out of the electronic notification method and choose to receive the 1098-T
tax document in paper form, I understand I must contact the Bursar’s Office in person
(BA-108), by phone (801-863-8955), or through email at [email protected].
In further compliance with IRS Regulations, complete information regarding 1098-T electronic consent, delivery methods, opt-out instructions, etc.
Student Financial Responsibility Agreement is signed annually.
