All charges are due in full July 14, 2025. Enrollment is not complete, and students may not attend classes until satisfactory financial arrangements have been made with the Student Accounts Department. Satisfactory financial arrangements include one of the following payment options, or financial aid equal to or greater than each semester's charges. If the financial aid package is not equal to or more than estimated charges, the student will be required to enter in a payment plan agreement as noted above.
Students whose financial aid files are not complete as of residence hall move-in day and/or the first day of class will be required to pay 1/5 of the estimated balance not covered by financial aid, will be charged the student accounts late fee, and are subject to dismissal if financial aid is not complete by August 31, 2025 (January 26, 2026 for Spring semester).
The annual expense of tuition, fees, room and board is due by July 1st. Payment after this date, finalizing financial aid requirements (such as loan application & approval of revised awards) after this date, or completing satisfactory payment arrangements after this date constitute "late" submission of satisfactory financial arrangements and result in a Student Accounts paperwork charge.
Payment in Full - The annual expense of tuition, fees, room and board is due before the start of each semester.
Payment Plan - A mandatory monthly payment plan will be required, consisting of equally divided installments for the duration of the semester or term. Students must adhere to the payment schedule and complete all installments by the final payment deadline.
First Payment Requirement: To ensure eligibility for registration, receive your dormitory keys, move into your dorm, and pick up parking permits, students are required to submit the first monthly installment by the designated due date. This payment is necessary to be financially cleared to commence the semester.
Missing the First Payment Deadline: Failure to submit the first monthly installment by the designated deadline will result in the suspension of access to Canvas, meal card, and a hold will be added to the student’s account.
In addition, a late fee of $50 will be assessed each month any installment payment is overdue.
Failure to meet payments due to the University could result in being removed from class, dormitory, and cafeteria privileges and suspend ability to take finals and/or receive final grades. Students must have a zero balance on their account by the end of each academic term. If the account is not paid when due, the student will be responsible for all costs incurred by Hope International University to collect the unpaid balance due and owing.
Such costs may include, but are not limited to late fees, collections costs, attorney fees, and court costs.
If you have any questions concerning the financing of your education, please contact Student Financial Services at (714) 879-3901 ext. 2202 or email StudentAccounts@hiu.edu.
Charges upon registration constitute a contract and obligate the registrant for full payment. Because University costs are committed on a yearly basis, the following credit schedule has been established so the University and the student may share the tuition loss equitably if the student withdraws. Fees are generally non-refundable. Students receiving Title IV financial aid who withdraw entirely are subject to a supplemental financial aid prorated refund policy. Please address any questions to the Student Financial Services office.
Within the first week of the semester - 90% credit
Within the second and third weeks of semester - 60%credit
Within the fourth and fifth weeks of semester - 30% credit
After the fifth week of semester - NO CREDIT
The credit indicated above is the percentage of the entire contract, not the percentage of amounts paid to date of withdrawal.
