Student Accounts
Tuition, Fees, Room and Board Charges
Tuition, fees, and room and board charges are posted to students’ accounts as they are assessed. Payments are applied to accounts when received by the University. Students may call 303-458-4126 with questions concerning their account.
Tuition Rates
Student tuition and fees will be billed based on the tuition rate and fees associated with the student’s primary college and academic program. Current tuition rates and associated fees can be found in each college section of this Catalog or on the Regis University Tuition and Fees page at Regis.edu
Enrollment Agreement
The Regis University Enrollment agreement is made by and between Regis University and the student. At the time of admission/registration, the student will be asked to read and agree to the rights and responsibilities as set forth in the Regis University Enrollment Agreement. The Enrollment Agreement can be accessed at https://www.regis.edu/studentaccounts
Financial Policies
Tuition, fees, and other charges described in this Catalog are good faith projections for the current academic year. They are, however, subject to change from one academic term to the next as deemed necessary by the University in order to meet its financial commitments and to fulfill its role and mission.
There may be other fees and charges that are not specified in this Catalog. These fees and charges may be ascertained by contacting the University office that administers the program or activity in which the student intends to enroll or engage. Additionally, a non-refundable tuition deposit may be required by an individual program upon official acceptance to the University.
Regis University reserves the right to restrict and/or drop registration. The University will not register a student or issue official transcripts, diplomas, or other educational credentials or certifications directly to any student or former student with a financial obligation, which includes without limitation a financial obligation resulting from a student receivable balance, fee and fine receivable balance, Federal Perkins, Federal Nursing loan, Nurse Faculty Loan Program, Schneider loan and other institutional loans. Regis University's Transcript Exemption Policy can be accessed at https://www.regis.edu/policies/transcript-diploma-financial-hold-exemption-policy.
Full payment of the student account balance is due by the published due date. If the balance is not paid by the due date, late fees will be assessed and the student account will be considered in default. It is the responsibility of the student to update Regis University with address and phone number changes and other pertinent contact information. Failure to receive invoices, reminders, or past-due notices does not relieve the student of his or her financial obligation. Students who are referred to a collection agency, even if the referral is due to an incorrect address on file, are obligated to pay any and all collection fees incurred.
Failure to pay on a past due balance will result in the account being sent to external collection agencies. Upon non-payment of a past due balance, Regis University may declare the balance due and payable. At the time of registration, students agree to reimburse Regis University the fees of any collection agency up to 40% which may not be reflected in the statement of account, which may be based on a percentage of the debt, and all the costs, fees and expenses, including late fees and all other applicable charges to Regis University. In the event this agreement is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection through legal proceedings or otherwise, it is the responsibility of the student to pay late fees, attorney fees, court fees and costs, and all other applicable charges to Regis University.
Electronic signatures are equal to signed promissory notes. Tuition deferments, payment agreements, and Regis Payment Option (RPO) payment plans are equal to loans and are not dischargeable in bankruptcy. Disputed past due accounts shall be governed by Colorado law, excluding its conflicts of law’s provisions. In the event of default, Regis University and its respective agents reserve the right to report defaulted information to the credit bureaus. Once a delinquent account that was placed with a collection agency is paid off by the student, the student will be placed on a pre-pay status for two semesters with registration for any future registrations.
International Students
International students are required by law to financially support all expenses associated with studying in the United States. An International student is defined as a person who holds citizenship in a country other than the United States and/or possesses a temporary visa.
Nonresident Aliens
A nonresident alien is a person who is not a citizen or national of the United States, who is in this country on a temporary basis, and who does not have the right to remain indefinitely. Nonresident aliens are required by law to financially support all expenses associated with studying in the United States. Payment is due by the term’s published due date. Other payment options are not available to nonresident alien students. If payment is not received by the tuition due date nonresident students will automatically be dropped for non-payment. As a courtesy, tuition due date reminders will be sent to the student's Regis email prior to the due dates.
Permanent Residents or Resident Aliens
A permanent resident or resident alien is not a citizen or national of the United States, but has been lawfully admitted for permanent residency, holds an alien registration receipt card, and has a valid social security card. Permanent resident students are eligible for the regular payment options offered.

Course Schedule Update E-mail and the Registration Invoice Online
Students automatically receive a course schedule update e-mail when there is add or drop registration activity on their account. Students can also download a PDF copy of an official Regis University registration invoice online via the Ranger Portal.
Sponsored Billing
Regis University can set up a direct billing arrangement with companies or agencies that are willing to cover a student’s tuition and fees. Sponsors may enter into a pre-established contract provided by Regis University. For more information on the initial set-up, please contact the Sponsored Billing Representative at 303-458-4324. Students should consult with their employer or sponsor to determine if a direct billing agreement has been established with Regis University.
Once the direct billing arrangement has been set-up with the University, Regis will directly bill the sponsor once proof from the sponsorship is received. Such proof can be a financial guarantee letter from the employer that includes student name, student ID, course title(s), tuition amount, name, address, and contact information on where the bill should be sent. The financial guarantee letter should be submitted to the Office of Student Accounts prior to the tuition due date to be accepted. It is the student’s responsibility to facilitate the submission of proof for each term/course. If the sponsor does not pay the balance owed, the financial obligation will then be the responsibility of the student. The student will be obligated to meet the University’s financial policies outlined in this Catalog. If the sponsor payment is not sufficient to cover tuition and fees, the student will have to either pay their portion or make payment arrangements by the due date for that class.
Sponsored Billing is not tuition reimbursement. Tuition reimbursement means that the student is responsible for paying the tuition and is reimbursed at a later time by the employer.
Refunds
Financial Aid Refunds
When financial aid is disbursed into the student account, it will be applied to tuition and fees. If a credit balance exists after tuition and fees are paid, a refund check will be mailed to the student within 14 days from the date funds are credited to the student account. The student may request that funds be deposited directly into his or her bank account by electing this option via the Ranger Portal. Information regarding the Direct Deposit option is located on Ranger Portal/Banking Information.
By federal regulation, PLUS credit balances are paid to the parent unless the parent authorizes Regis University in writing to release the credit balance to the student. The Parent's PLUS Refund Authorization form can be found at financialaid@regis.edu
Withdrawal and Proration of Tuition
Students who withdraw from courses after the add/drop period may qualify for a partial credit of tuition. Credits are calculated at rates established for each week. Withdrawal procedures vary depending on the student’s college and level. Information about withdrawal procedures is available in this section of the Catalog under Office of the Registrar ‘Withdrawal’ heading. The date the online Withdrawal Form is submitted will be used to determine the amount of credit, if applicable.
Students are also obligated to return financial aid funds under the Title IV Federal Regulations. Due to this obligation, Regis University returns in accordance with Return of Title IV Funds regulations back to the Department of Education creating a chargeback on the student’s account. The student will have to pay Regis University directly for all financial aid chargebacks that occur on the student’s account. Please contact the Office of Financial Aid for information on how withdrawals can affect financial aid.
The following tables show the amount of credit students will receive depending on the length of the term. Variable term course credits are not shown and may vary.

The interest-free Regis Payment Option (RPO) plan makes tuition payment more manageable by spreading all or part of the tuition expenses over:
- four, five or six monthly payments for traditional student or
- two, three or four monthly payments for post-traditional students.
- The RPO is due by the regular published tuition due dates for traditional semester-based and post-traditional programs.
The enrollment cost for the Regis Payment Option requires a non-refundable $50 per semester enrollment fee to cover the administrative cost of this plan. Interest charges are not assessed on the plan balance. A $15 fee will be assessed for any late monthly payment. A new RPO application must to be submitted each semester. Transcripts and diplomas will not be released directly to student in an active RPO, as this is a financial obligation owed to Regis University. The Regis Payment Option application can be accessed by visiting the Ranger Portal, clicking Student Finance, then Make a Payment.
