GENERAL INFORMATION
Independent Study
An independent study is a course taken with faculty supervision for knowledge enhancement beyond the courses offered in a particular area of interest. In rare cases, when scheduling or other conflicts exist, a regular course may be taken as an independent study. Independent study courses may be used in the Areas of Study and General Distribution and may be used to enhance courses in the major. Consult with your academic advisor before applying to earn credit by independent study.
Transfer Credit
Courses offered in transfer will be evaluated for acceptance provided the work was taken at an institution accredited as degree-granting by a recognized regional accrediting body for higher education at the time the course work is completed.

New Educational Leadership graduate programs begin in spring 2010. In school environments where greater accountability and higher demands are placed on teachers, educational leaders face challenges as never before. In fact, the educational leaders of tomorrow will require more innovative and nontraditional graduate programs to help them succeed. To meet this demand, we’ve developed two new graduate programs in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, a Graduate Certificate and a Master of Education. Both combine coursework with a practicum component and an extended reflective leadership field experience. We offer a Graduate Certificate for those seeking an administration/supervision endorsement for leading a public school in Virginia and have already earned a master’s degree. For those who have not earned a master’s degree, we offer the Master of Education option.

You will still be responsible to meet all payment deadlines even if you do not receive an invoice. You may pay using one of the following methods. 1. Pay your student account balance online by visiting BannerWeb (http://bannerweb.richmond.edu) and clicking on Student Services/Pay Tuition and Fees).

Tuition Pay by Sallie Mae is an educational financing company that provides families and students with a low cost plan for budgeting tuition and other education expenses. The Tuition Pay Monthly plan is NOT a loan program, therefore no debt is incurred. There is no interest or finance charge assessed by Tuition Pay on the unpaid balance due to the college. The only fee to budget payments through Tuition Pay is a $35.00 per semester nonrefundable enrollment fee. Payments made through Tuition Pay are considerably less expensive than the cost of obtaining loans, paying with credit cards, or budgeting through other interest or feecharging payment plans. There is no credit search or qualifications necessary to use Tuition Pay. One of the reasons why the cost to budget with Tuition Pay is so affordable is because payments through Tuition Pay are made by using automatic payments from your bank. The automatic payment helps you budget tuition payments in a convenient way which ensures that the college will receive dependable and consistent tuition payments. With Tuition Pay you never miss a payment and you save the time and expense of writing and mailing checks. How does the automatic payment work? Automatic payments are simply payments that you authorize your bank to make on your behalf on a specific date each month. The amount paid by your bank is a predetermined amount that you have authorized. Your bank will make these payments from either your checking or
savings account, according to the instructions you have provided on your agreement with Tuition Pay. Payments will be made until the total amount due to the college is paid in full. Automatic payments are used to pay mortgages, life insurance premiums, car payments, utilities, and other types of bills. When you use Tuition Pay to pay your school tuition, your bank sends your payment on the 5th of the month directly to the bank that Tuition Pay uses to collect tuition payments. Before any payment is made, Tuition Pay provides evidence of your authorization for tuition payments to your bank. Your bank will usually verify this authorization with you and then set up the payment schedule. It is important to remember that Tuition Pay and your college never see your bank account or have any direct access to your account. You never lose any control of your account. The automatic payment process is strictly controlled by state and federal laws. With Tuition Pay your payments are made on the 5th of each month. Budget Period To qualify for the 3-month or 4-month payment plan, Tuition Pay must receive student applications by August 10th for the Fall semester or December 10th for the Spring semester. The budget periods are as follows: 3-Month Plan • Fall: August through October • Spring: January through March
4-Month Plan • Fall: August through November • Spring: January through April
The Tuition Pay payment plan is not available for courses offered during the Summer semester.

This schedule is adapted for summer terms. Students who withdraw from the University and who are receiving any financial assistance may be required to return such assistance per Public Law 668.22 and institutional policy. The University of Richmond complies with all federal regulations governing recipients of federal Title IV funds. Information regarding financial aid refund policies is available in the Financial Aid Office. The amount of the refund is based on the date that written withdrawal notification is received in the Office of the Dean. Any special fee is non-refundable after the first day of class.

E-Bill and E-Payment FAQ What is an e-Bill and e-Payment? The e-Bill is an electronic system for all students to view, print and make payments on line. An electronic bill will be sent monthly to each student’s official UR email address. It can also be sent to any person that has been authorized by the student. What company has the University of Richmond partnered with to provide this service? The University has contracted with QuikPAY®, a hosted electronic bill and payment service. Our contract with them ensures that the processes are compliant with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. Is the QuikPAY® site secure? The technical architecture/security of the QuikPAY® product uses intrusion detection and firewall systems to protect the network. The University of Richmond believes that security is a very important factor in providing e-Billing and e-Payment services. Why did the University of Richmond transition to e-Billing and e-Payment? The University of Richmond has moved to e-Billing and e-Payment for several reasons, among them time, convenience and cost. The QuikPAY® system is available worldwide, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. There are no checks, envelopes or stamps needed to make a payment. You will receive immediate confirmation of e-Payment. Additional benefits include viewable billing and payment history as well as convenient access for authorized payers who the student sets up. Will I still receive a paper bill? No, we no longer mail paper bills to your home. How can I make an e-payment? E-payment is an optional feature. Checking and savings account information from a Bank within the United States can be entered at the QuikPAY® website and payments will be transferred electronically to the University of Richmond. You will have the option to have the site retain your bank account information or you may enter it each time you make an e-payment. Authorized payers will only be able to view their own payment and bank information. Each authorized payer is assigned a separate PIN number for added security and privacy. Can I pay my e-Bill with a credit card? The University of Richmond accepts MasterCard, Discover and American Express. Visa is not currently accepted. A vendor fee of 2.75% (of the amount charged) will be charged to your card. I do not feel comfortable paying my bill on line. What other payment methods are available?

To send a check or money order through the mail to our payment processing center, please print a copy of the PDF bill, detach the bottom portion of the statement and mail it with the payment (payable to the University of Richmond with your UR ID number printed clearly on the check) to: University of Richmond P.O. Box 791356 Baltimore, MD 21279-1356 How do students log in and view their bill?

Specific enrollment requirements and application processes vary depending on the aid program and are outlined below. Most applications are available on line at: http://oncampus.richmond.edu/financialaid/ Scholarships Several scholarships are available for School of Continuing Studies students who are actively pursuing a planned program of study and who have completed at least 15 semester hours in the School of Continuing Studies.

Loans Federal Direct and private loans are available for students who are enrolled in a degree or certificate program on at least a half-time basis (6 credit hours/term).

clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the University of Richmond decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the University will notify the student of the decision and advise them of their right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing. 3) The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.

A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfilled his or her professional responsibility. 4) The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the University of Richmond to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the office that administers FERPA is: Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20202-4605 The University of Richmond‘s complete FERPA Policy Statement is available as part of the Office of the University Registrar‘s Web page at www.richmond.edu/academics/registrar/ferpa.html or by contacting the Office of the University Registrar.

As jobs requiring bachelor’s and master’s degrees have continued to increase, sending our children to college is only part of the answer.

The University of Richmond’s School of Continuing Studies offers working adults a wide range of opportunities to acquire the knowledge and skills to advance in current careers or transition to new jobs and careers.
