Settlement of
Accounts |
When possible
student should be
prepared to pay full
semester charges on
or before
registration. Money
may be submitted in
advance to the
Business Office.
This will facilitate
registration. All
students are
required to pay at
least forty percent on or before
registration
according to the
deferred payment
plan. The balance of
the student's
account may be paid
in two equal
payments. The
payments are due
thirty days apart,
beginning with the
date of
registration.
Students who are
unable to pay their
accounts in full at
the beginning of the
semester must ether
borrow the necessary
funds or subscribe
to the university's
deferred payment
plan.Written
commitments for aid
from Lee University
or other sources are
the only substitutes
for the required
down payment.
Therefore, students
should assume
responsibility for
applying for aid in
advance and for
seeing that the
proper commitment letter(s) or
payment by
registration day.
Students enrolling
in the deferred
payment plan will be
charged a $50
fee for this
service. This fee
will apply to all
students owing a
balance in excess of
$500 at the
completion of
registration. While we recognize
the problems
involved in
increasing education
costs to the
student, education
with a Christian
emphasis is the
greatest personal
investment available
today. The
university will
assist students in
every way possible
to finance their
education. If you
need financial
assistance, please
check with the
University's Office
of Student Aid.
NOTE:
The 50% tuition
scholarship
mentioned above will
not be considered as
part of the required
payment due at
registration.

scholarship
consideration are
taken only from a
single test date;
tests must be taken
on one of the
published national
test dates set by
The College Board.
Students who take
the ACT residual
test on campus are
NOT eligible for
academic scholarship
consideration. Each
