1098 T (tax forms)
NOTE: Barry University does not provide tax advice
In compliance with Federal regulations, the University must obtain the voluntary permission from the student (or parent if a Parent PLUS loan) to apply Federal Student Aid to pay charges related to a prior term or charges other than tuition, fees and room & board on the student account.
Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford loans, PLUS loans, Perkins loans, Pell Grants, SEOG, TEACH Grant and any other federal aid. The University does not need authorization to apply funds from a private loan to any charges incurred.
Yes. By allowing permission any excess federal aid could be applied to a prior term or other charges such as Health Insurance or ID charges. More importantly, this will help prevent an "account hold" due to unpaid charges, which could block registering for future terms or receiving official documents such as transcripts or diplomas.
No. once you give permission it remains in affect while you are enrolled at the University. Permission may be rescinded at any time.
You will receive an e-mail directing you to Web Advisor to give permission to use Federal Student Aid to cover all your charges. At the same time forms will be available in the Cashier Business Office.
All students are being asked for their authorization. If at some point in the future you do receive Federal Student Aid this authorization will already be in place.
Nothing will change from what is being done now. You will be continuing to allow the University to use your Federal Student Aid to cover all charges on your account.
The Technology Fee is a university fee assessed to all students enrolled at Barry University.
The Technology Fee amount is based on how the tuition is charged. If you have tuition cost that is a flat rate, the fee is $75.00. If you have tuition cost that is charged by the credit, the fee is $5.00 a credit.
The Technology Fee will start in July 2017.
The Technology Fee will be covered by most forms of Financial Aid.
The Technology Fee is to support on and off-campus technology infrastructure. The funds support a variety of purchases, ranging from creating smart classrooms to enhancing wireless capability to supporting the salary of IT Tech support/instructional design. It may also include supporting the purchase of software to assist students.
The Convenience Fee is a fee assessed to the credit/debit card user when making a credit/debit card payment to Barry University. It covers the costs of processing credit/debit card payments.
The Convenience Fee is assessed by our third party processor. Barry will not receive any of the convenience fee. It will not appear on your student account. Two line items will appear on the credit/debit card account or bank statement; one transaction is the student account payment and the other transaction is the convenience fee.
The Convenience Fee is currently 2.25% of the payment amount. Example: a payment of $100 will be assessed a $2.25 convenience fee. A total of $102.25 will be charged to the cardholder. Only the $100 payment will show on the student account.
The Convenience Fee is only for credit/debit card payment transactions.
The Convenience Fee will start on July 5, 2017.
Yes. It is not uncommon for Colleges and Universities to either pass on the convenience fees to the cardholder or even eliminate credit/debit card transactions all together. Barry University wants to continue to offer the option to pay by credit/debit card.

A student who registers but does not attend class(es), or who stops attending class(es) for any reason after the semester has begun, will not be credited back for his/her tuition charges unless officially withdrawn from the university. Several steps must be taken for an official withdrawal:
NOTE: Tuition and room on board costs will be credited according to the following refund schedule.
To receive a full credit back for all charges, your withdrawal paperwork must be entered by the Registrar's Office before the day your classes begin. Anything thereafter, is subject to partial or no credit back. Please consult the table below.
Students who wish to change their registration status after the first three days of class must complete a Withdrawal Form or notify, in writing, their academic advisor/director. Students are also expected to contact the faculty member teaching the course from which they intend to withdraw.
There is no refund when withdrawing from a course. An unauthorized withdrawal will result in a final grade of "F". Students must withdraw before the final four (4) weeks of class. The effective date of the withdrawal will be the date of formal notification to the Dean of your respected school.
Students who wish to change their registration status before the semester begins or during the first three days of class, must contact their academic advisor to complete and sign a Registration Adjustment Form. This form must be turned in to the Office of the Registrar.
Prior to the beginning of classes....................................100% Through the first three days of classes.........................80% After the third day of classes................................No Credit The above percentages apply to tuition only. Lab and academic fees are NOT refundable.
The following term and conditions are financial requirements of your education related to your registration. All students have the option to pay in full, following any registration process, any remaining balance not covered by financial aid. The payment of tuition and fees is the obligation of the student. Please read the following terms and conditions before your term registration:
To qualify for loans, you must meet the following minimum (half-time) registration requirements:
If at any time your credit hours drop below the half-time status, your financial aid loans will be sent back to the lender(s).
Generally, financial aid funds (loans, scholarships, grants) are not disbursed to your student account until after the add-drop period of classes. As a rule of thumb, loans are the first aids to arrive while scholarships and grants trickle in gradually as the semester progresses. You can request a refund of any excess financial aid only after the funds are physically in your account and all charges and fees have been deducted.

In order to defer the payment of your tuition to the end of the semester you must submit to Cashier/Business Office, within the first two weeks of the semester, an official letter from your employer on company letterhead. This document is required each semester and must state your eligibility for reimbursement and the conditions under which your company will pay your tuition and fees. The letter must include your company's policy regarding the percentage of your semester's costs they are willing to pay, the grade required for reimbursement, as well as the calendar period it covers. Additionally, you must complete a deferred payment plan form with the Cashier/ Business Office (CBO). Be aware that whenever payment of your tuition is not made in full at the time of registration, but deferred to a future date, there is a mandatory deferment fee of $150.00. Also, please be aware that this fee is non-refundable. Please call CBO at 305-899-3585 for further information regarding corporate payment plans.
Cashier/Business Office sends e-mail statements at least bi-monthly to the student’s Barry electronic mail account. In addition to these e-mail statements, paper statements notices are sent periodically within the semester to the students’ primary address left on file with the Registrar’s Office. E-mail and paper statements are reminders of your financial responsibility to the university. As a student, it is your responsibility to use your Bucmail to receive these correspondences. It is also your responsibility to make certain that the address on file is accurate. Please be aware that transcripts and/or diplomas will never be released to a student until all tuition and fees have been paid in full.
Cash or credit card payments are the fastest ways to clear your account of a semester’s charges and thereby ensure the rapid release of the above items. Payments made by local checks are held for 10 business days before your transcript will be released to you; out-of-state checks require 15 business days to clear the bank. If you have any questions regarding your billing statements (understanding your statement, inquiries regarding your balance or a break down of specific charges, etc.) please contact the Cashier/Business Office at 305-899-3585 and a member of our team will happily assist you with your inquiries.
If a student's account is left unpaid and therefore becomes delinquent, the account will be referred to a collection agency, attorney, or both. In such an event, the student agrees to reimburse the fees of any collection agency, which may be based on a percentage at a minimum of 33 1/3% of the debt, and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees that the university incurs in such collection efforts.

Cash or credit card payments are the fastest ways to clear your account and thereby ensure the rapid release of the above items.

Flexible Dollars Around Campus!

Often used to purchase meals, coffee or snacks between classes, FlexBucs, unlike Commuter Meal Plans and Resident Meal Plans, do not restrict when or where your funds may be used. Also, Flex dollars never expire once the term has ended, but will instead roll over to the next semester.
To check your Flex account's balance or retrieve your unused funds, check your MyBarry account or call the Student Union office at 305-899-4900, (this number is located on the back of your student ID card). They will forward your remaining money back to your main student account (with CBO) and you can then request a refund of this credit if this creates a credit balance on the student account.
Please be aware that when pending financial aid, (your loan(s), grant(s) and scholarship(s), is used toward Flex dollars, the maximum dollar amount that can be granted each term is $800.00. In those isolated circumstances when additional funds are to be approved, an itemized list or invoice from our Follett book store must be presented to CBO. The list/invoice must chronicle the additional books, supplies and/or equipment still needed, along with the total cost of those supplementary item(s) and any assessed tax and fees associated with your purchases.
