Important Additional
Information
All fees and the entire tuition for each semester are due and
payable in full before registration can be completed. The
University reserves the right to change the schedule of tuition and
fees when necessary, but every effort is made to maintain them at
the lowest possible level.
Students holding full tuition scholarships are required to pay the
General Fee and any other fees required for the courses they are
taking.
Registration is not complete until payment is made, and the
University reserves the right to drop a student from an individual
class or from his or her entire program if payment is not made by
the due date.
With the exception of first–semester freshmen and certain students
in “block” programs of study, students at St. John’s select their
own classes via the St. John’s University Information System (UIS).
This process of selecting classes is commonly called
“registration,” but it is only part of the total registration
process.
Registering for a class as approved by your Advisor does
more than just reserve a seat for you in that class. It also
generates a financial liability for that class and takes away a
seat from another student. Because of this, St. John’s considers
your registration as a clear
indication of your intention to attend that class
Students by registering at the university personally guarantee and
are responsible for all obligations to for tuition, fees and other
charges. Students under the age of majority, under 18 in New York
State, have by assumption received the personal guarantee of their
parent(s) or guardian unless the student, the parent(s), or
guardian notifies the University in writing of their invalidation
of the personal and parental assumption of guarantee of all
tuition, fees and other charges.
Students whose accounts are in arrears will not be permitted to
register for a subsequent semester, issued a diploma or a
transcript of record. All past due balances are charged interest at
the rate of one percent per month. Delinquent accounts may be
referred to a third party for collection which will result in the
addition of collection costs to the account balance.
