Business Office Master Promissory Note and Financial Responsibility Agreement (BOMPN and FRA)
A Business Office Master Promissory Note (BOMPN) and Financial Responsibility Agreement (FRA) must be completed by all students at the beginning of their current course of study. Any student who has had a break in their enrollment of at least one semester is required to complete a new BOMPN and FRA.
There is no charge for the completion of this note, and it does not take the place of a payment agreement. All students must sign a BOMPN and FRA prior to attending courses. Classes will not be moved to official status without a completed BOMPN and FRA for the current program of study on file.
Students may request a secure link to e-sign the documentation needed to finalize enrollment here: Document Request. Please include student ID number in your request. A signature link will only be sent to the student’s MBU Email. Photos of completed documents will not be accepted.
Payment of Accounts
All accounts are due and payable prior to the first day of classes each semester. The University offers a variety of financial aid to assist students in paying accounts, which are described in the catalog section on financial aid, scholarships, military and veterans’ benefits. All institutional and external aid applications must be completed and submitted to the Student Financial Services Office at least ten working days prior to the first day of classes. The student is responsible for the accuracy and timeliness of all applications. Should arrangements for payment appear necessary, such arrangements should then be made with the Student Financial Services Office in order to finalize official registration. Payment of account balance not covered by scholarships, aid, or an approved payment plan must be completed by the first day of class to avoid a late payment fee of $160.00 being assessed on your student account. Payments may be made through myMBU Access and navigating to “My Payments/Refunds.”

Policies Governing Finances
Release of Student Transcript
There is a charge of ten dollars ($10.00) for each official transcript. There are additional fees for transcripts mailed to addresses outside the United States and for overnight or express mailing. The student’s account must be paid in full and all holds cleared before any transcript of credit can be issued. There will be a ten (10) day waiting period before the transcript is released if students choose to clear their account and/or pay for their transcript using a check. All requests for official transcripts must be made in writing to the Director of Records. Information on requesting a transcript may be found at https://www.mobap.edu/academics-overview/academics-records-registrar/transcript-requests/. Transcript request forms are available in the Records Office, Regional Learning Center offices, or online. Unofficial transcripts are available through the student portal, myMBU Access.
Delinquent Accounts
Students whose accounts are delinquent will not be permitted to register and/or return for a succeeding semester or term. In addition, transcripts will not be issued, and the student will not be permitted to participate in commencement exercises, if scheduled to graduate. Delinquent accounts are charged interest, collection fees, and court costs, when submitted to the collection agency, and will be reported to a national credit bureau.
Students have six months following their last recorded date of attendance to dispute their bill based on their attendance.
Enrollment Status Change
After the first day of the semester, any schedule adjustment will result in a $30.00 schedule adjustment fee. If a student adds or drops individual courses changing status from part-time to full-time, or full-time to part-time, semester expenses will be recalculated to reflect the changed status. Financial aid will be recalculated according to applicable institutional policies, state and federal laws, and rules set out by agencies related to particular aid programs. Refund calculations will be made according to the refund schedule which follows.
Refund Schedules
It is understood that each student enters for at least one term, and the University assumes the expense of making provisions accordingly. Therefore, a student’s withdrawal does not materially reduce the costs to the University. Tuition refunds are pro-rated from the date withdrawal is approved by the Records Offices as follows in the case of a course load status change, such as overload to full-time, full-time to part-time, a reduction of course load within the part-time status, or complete withdrawal/dismissal from the University. Refunds for classes of non-standard term length are published in the respective class schedule.
