Tuition figures listed above assume the student has no advanced
standing. The fee for evaluating credits taken elsewhere, if they are accepted by
HUSoT, is one half of the regular per-credit tuition; thus a student with
acceptable transfer credit will pay less than the
"totals" stated above. In order to keep tuition as low as possible, HUSoT
does not provide scholarships or other financial assistance to students; however, tuition
may be paid in agreed-upon monthly installments while the program continues, with no
finance charges as long as accounts are current. Educational services will be
discontinued to any student who falls in arrears, and a finance charge of one percent (1%)
per month will be imposed. No degree will be awarded nor any transcripts released
until all financial obligations have been met.
Refunds are available as follows: Any student who
withdraws from the program will be refunded 100% of all tuition received 0-6 days prior to
HUSoT's receiving written notice of her/his withdrawal; 75% of all tuition received , 7
-13 days prior to HUSoT's receiving such notice; 50% of all tuition received 14-20 days
prior to HUSoT's receiving such notice; 25% of all tuition received 21-27 days prior to
HUSoT's receiving such notice; and 0% of tuition received 28 or more days prior to HUSoT's
receiving such notice.
Any complaints on any subject should be put in writing and
addressed to the President of HUSoT.
