Late Fees and Refunds

Home »

This page contains important information on refunds, late fees, and our Policy on Holds.

Refund of Tuition and Fees

In case of withdrawal, the following refund schedule will apply:

  • Formal withdrawal during the course registration period (before October 3 for Semester I and before January 16 for Semester II) will result in a refund of 80% of the tuition and fees installment paid.
  • Formal withdrawal during the official add/drop period in the first semester, will result in a refund of 40% of the tuition and fees installment paid. (The Student Records Office establishes the official add/drop period. Further information on add/drop dates is available in the Student Records Manual).

There will be no refund of tuition and fees after the official end of the add/drop period, or after April 1.

Late payments

If a student's account becomes overdue, the Budget and Finance Office issues a formal reminder; a 20 EUR late fee will be added to the balance. The student will then be granted a period of ten working days to pay the overdue amount. After 10 working days, the student will be sent a second Reminder for Overdue Fees; at this time the student’s access to university services/facilities will be suspended (in accordance with the CEU Policy on Holds below). If the student's account is not settled within five working days of the second reminder, his/her student status will be terminated for non-payment.

Policy on Holds

Failure to meet any obligation to the university, including those conditions set forth in the individual's enrollment confirmation form and financial obligations, will result in suspension of access to student services. These include—but are not limited to—issuance of transcripts and diplomas, access to any of the following: the CEU computer network; the CEU Library; medical services; the University Information System (rental accommodation database, matriculation form, class registration); research grants and fellowship stipends. The Policy on Holds will be applied until the obligation is met and the hold is cleared by the respective office.
