Tuition and fee costs are based on the college in which the major is housed and the specific program. For a complete schedule of tuition and related fees for the current year, please visit www.marshall.edu/tuition.
The university and its governing board reserve the right to change fees and rates without prior notice. Fee assessments are calculated on student level, not course level.
Please note: All fee listings in the fee section of this catalog show the rates authorized and in effect for the fall semester of the 2024-2025 academic year.
Tuition fees for a regular semester, a Summer Term, an Intersession, and any special class are due and payable to the Office of the Bursar in accordance with dates established and listed on the Marshall University website at www.marshall.edu/bursar. If you do not pay your enrollment fees on or before the due date, your registration will be cancelled and you will be subject to withdrawal from the university (see Withdrawal/Reinstatement Policy below). Do not depend on receiving a bill from the university in the mail. It is always your responsibility to know when enrollment fees are due and to pay them by that time. If you have not paid your enrollment fees by the official due date you must obtain permission from the appropriate academic dean and the Office of the Registrar to register.
Student deferred payment plans for tuition will be offered for the fall and spring semester. All available financial aid from the term must be credited to the student’s account prior to determining the amount available for deferral. Contact the Office of the Bursar for current deferred payment plan information. A student’s residence services fees (room and board) are due at a semester rate payable in accordance with dates established by the Department of Housing and Residence Life.
You can pay fees by VISA, American Express, MasterCard or Discover by using Marshall Student Account Center on myMU. Credit card payments are also accepted at the Office of the Bursar, 101 Old Main.
If you are a recipient of financial aid through the university’s loan or scholarship program, the university’s Department of Intercollegiate Athletics, or any governmental agency, or by private loan or scholarship, you must complete arrangements for payment through the Director of Student Financial Assistance in 116 Old Main and the University Bursar in 101 Old Main. (See Student Financial Assistance that follows.)
Your registration is not complete until all fees are paid.
Your registration will be cancelled if the bank does not honor your check for payment of registration fees. A charge of $25.00 will be made for each check returned unpaid by the bank.
A student who has a financial obligation to the university cannot engage in any registration activity until the obligation is satisfied. Should the obligation remain unpaid the obligation may be assigned to a state-authorized collection agency.
A student who withdraws from the institution by following proper withdrawal procedures will receive refunds of fees paid in accordance with the refunding policy.
A student who is required to withdraw from the institution for disciplinary reasons may not receive refunds of fees paid.
Effective August 1, 2019:
For students utilizing Chapter 31 VA Veteran Readiness and Employment or utilizing Chapter 33 Post 9-11 VA education benefits, while payment to the institution is pending from the VA, Marshall University guarantees:
To qualify, by or on the first day of the semester a student must:
Costs which are the responsibility of the student, such as tuition and fees not billable to VA, or costs for dormitory and meal plans, are not covered under the provision established by PL 115-407, Sec. 103. Students using Post 9-11 benefits at less than 100% eligibility are responsible to contact the Office of the Bursar to make payment arrangements on the amount of tuition not anticipated to be paid by the VA. Students are responsible to make payment arrangements for dorm and meal plans, if applicable.
The provision established by PL 115-407, Sec. 103, ends 90 days after tuition and fees are billed to VA whether or not VA has issued payment to the University. At that time, the University can hold the student liable for the billable tuition and fees unpaid by VA, place a registration hold for any outstanding amount billed to VA, or withdraw the student for non-payment of the billable tuition and fees not paid by VA. Ultimately, the student does agree to assume and pay any and all costs associated with said enrollment not paid by the VA directly to the University.
Enrollment fees (tuition fees) will be refunded during the period designated by the Office of the Registrar for Registration, Late Registration, and Schedule Adjustments for a regular semester or a summer term and published on the bursar’s office website at www.marshall.edu/bursar. Enrollment fees (tuition fees) will be refunded to students for:
During the first 10% of the term, 90% reduction,
From 11% to 25% of the term, 75%,
From 26% to 50% of the term, 50%,
After 50% of the term is completed, no reduction in tuition and fees will occur.
See section under “Student Financial Assistance.”
When it becomes necessary to cancel a class by administrative and/or faculty action, a student is granted a full refund of the fee for the class cancelled unless he/she registers in another course of like value in terms of semester hours. This action does not apply to withdrawals due to disciplinary action or withdrawals due to nonpayment of financial obligations.
Cancellations of the Housing Contract by those not planning to enroll in the University or reside on campus must be received in writing by the Department of Housing and Residence Life on or before May 15th. Such cancellations will result in a refund of $100.00 of the reservation deposit. Cancellation postmarked after the 15th from individuals who do not enroll in the University or reside on campus will result in a forfeiture of the entire $200.00 reservation deposit. Individuals who complete a contract and who enroll in the University (academic classes) will be expected to fulfill their obligations for the period specified. For contracts commencing for the Spring or Summer terms, cancellations postmarked 30 days before the opening of housing will result in a $100.00 refund. Cancellations postmarked after that date will result in a forfeiture of the entire $200.00 reservation deposit.
Voluntary withdrawal from the University and, in turn, housing and food service prior to the opening of the residence halls will result in a full refund less the $200.00 reservation deposit. Complete withdrawal from the University and housing and food service between opening day and the first Friday will result in a refund of fifteen weeks room and board. Withdrawals after the first Friday will result in a forfeiture of all monies paid for a room and board plan.
Students whose residency is terminated automatically (due to violations of Code of Conduct or Residence Hall policies) forfeit all monies paid for that semester and remain liable for any unpaid room and meal plan balances at the time of termination. Students will be responsible for any interest, collection and reasonable attorney’s fees associated with the collection of delinquent accounts.
Students who are denied admission, declared academically ineligible to return, or are unable to return for medical reasons, will be refunded on a prorated basis.
Refunds of the enrollment fee only to students called to armed services will be processed in accordance with policy established by the Office of the Registrar.
Late fees are nonrefundable.
