Outside Payment Policies
Tuition Reimbursement
Many employers offer tuition reimbursement based on satisfactory completion of coursework. Employers may require students to submit grades and a tuition statement before reimbursement is issued.
Students receiving employer tuition reimbursement must submit a completed Verification of Benefits form, signed by the employer’s human resources department.
The form must be completed each semester and submitted to the Office of Student Financial Services by the tuition due date.
Tuition payment is due 30 days from the date the previous semester’s grades are posted by La Roche University.
Third Party Billing
Some companies and government agencies pay tuition and/or fees directly to La Roche University on behalf of students or employees.
The Office of Student Financial Services must receive authorization from the third-party sponsor on company or agency letterhead by the tuition due date.
Third-party billing authorization does not automatically renew. Valid authorization must be submitted each semester in which the student is enrolled.
Important: Payment of tuition and fees remains the responsibility of the student. If a sponsor does not make full payment, the student is responsible for any remaining charges and applicable late fees.
Late Charges & Financial Holds
Students are responsible for ensuring that all La Roche University charges are paid or covered by financial aid by the applicable tuition due date.
A financial hold will be placed on accounts with a delinquent balance of $50 or more. An account is considered delinquent when billed charges have not been paid by the tuition due date.
A registration hold will be placed on accounts with outstanding registration-related fees. Students with a registration hold will not be permitted to register for courses. Academic records, including transcripts and diplomas, also may be withheld until the financial registration hold is released.
Accounts not paid by the posted due date are subject to a late fee of 1.5% per month.
Students also are responsible for applicable collection costs, attorneys’ fees and other charges necessary to collect amounts owed to La Roche University.
