Tuition & Fees
Overview
Students with account balances after estimated financial aid awards, are expected to be paid prior to the first day of class or have an approved payment arrangement plan in place. Students with balances and no payment arrangements can be disenrolled before census date (11th day of class for a full term). Students who have a balance of $100.00 or more may not register for a future semester. In order for ASUN to release your transcript, you must have a zero balance or have a payment arrangement in good standing.
Payment arrangements should be made prior to the beginning of the semester if sufficient financial aid has not been awarded to the student's account.
Payments can also be made in-person via the cashier on our Newport and Marked Tree campuses.
For students that do not have financial aid in place and are unable to pay the full amount of tuition and fees before classes begin, we offer an online payment plan through Bill Payment.
Cash-paying students enrolled in the Commercial Driver Training Institute (CDTI) program will be required to pay the cost in full upon registration of the program. Payments are made by phone by calling 870-512-7802, or in person at the cashier window on the Newport campus. CDTI students who are sponsored by a third party will have their account credited for payment when the billing processes are complete and the paying entity makes payment for the sponsored student.

Refunds
Refunds: Unregistering and Withdrawal Policy
Any student who unregisters from ASU-Newport during a term of enrollment prior to the census date, will not be responsible for tuition and fee charges for any/all courses for which the student unregisters. Any payments made by the student prior to the census date will be refunded. Unregistering from courses on or before the census date will not incur a tuition, fees, or related changes on their student account. Additionally, there will not be Ws on their academic transcript.
NOTE: Students who do not attend classes before the census date are typically dropped for non-attendance. However, it is the responsibility of the student to drop the courses for which he or she did not attend prior to the census date.
Students who choose to officially withdraw from courses after the census date but before the last day to withdraw from courses accept all tuition, fees, and charges associated with the courses. Students who choose to withdraw from all courses and have received Title IV funds may be subject to additional charges due to the requirement of ASU-Newport to calculate unearned money via the return to title iv calculation.
To view census dates and last day to withdraw from courses, please review the current ASU-Newport Academic Calendar.
Exception: Commercial Driver Training students will be allowed to unregister from courses (and be eligible for a refund if payments have been made on the student account) during the first eight (8) days of class.

of tuition and fees.
Complete Withdrawal = a process where a student is enrolled in courses beyond the
census date but will not complete any course for which he or she is currently enrolled.

Outstanding Account Balance Procedure
Students can check account balances within the student portal. Students with an outstanding balance on account at the end of the term are placed on a balance hold by the business office. The hold prevents the student from registering for another class or receiving a transcript until the past due balance is resolved.
If the student plans to graduate and an amount is owed, a balance hold will prevent the student from receiving a final transcript or diploma until the final balance is fully resolved.
If a student has an outstanding balance after a term ends, the balance will be considered delinquent, Delinquent accounts are sent to the State of Arkansas to be deducted from state income tax refunds. Delinquent accounts that still remain are then sent to collections.
