Am I required to pay my tuition up front?

The University of Lynchburg offers a deferment for students using Veteran Administration Education benefits, which extends the payment deadline for students whose veterans’ benefits are not available by the tuition deadline. Generally, the deferment period extends the date of payment until the specified date shown below or until funds become available, whichever comes first. Deferments are a separate program and should not be confused with other University payment arrangements.

Students participating in educational programs through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) may qualify for a deferment of tuition and fees only after producing a copy of a Statement of Benefits or a Certificate of Eligibility. Interested students should contact the Office of the University Registrar for more information. Deferments are only granted before the tuition deadline for each semester, provided all past-due debts are satisfied. VA deferments expire on Dec. 1 for the Fall term and May 1 for Spring terms.

Chapter 31 or Chapter 33: If a student is eligible to use Chapter 31 or Chapter 33, the University will defer students’ payment deadlines. The payment deadlines will be deferred a minimum of 90 days from the standard payment deadline. Charges not covered by the VA must be paid by the tuition deadline to prevent penalty fees. Penalties will not be imposed on charges covered by the VA but may be imposed on charges that are past due and not covered by the VA Deferment.
