The University shall publish the Cost of Attendance in the Catalog and on the Web Site. Students will be notified of any changes 60 days in advance of the implementation of pricing changes.

Payment Processes

American Sentinel University allows students to purchase multiple course plans and/or single course plans. Multiple course plans are purchases that are for more than nine credit hours. Either of these plans may be paid for via check, credit card, debit card, bank draft, or wire. If a student wants to use American Sentinel University's in-house financing option to purchase a multiple course plan, the student will be required to provide the University a credit/debit card or personal bank account number to make their monthly payments. The accounting department will charge or debit the student's account on an agreed upon day of the month.

If a student's monthly payment is declined, a student will be placed on an accounting hold with the University until the payment issue is resolved. Students placed on accounting hold may be removed from class and could be withdrawn from the university. Additionally, grades will not be released to students on accounting hold.
