BHSON Policies on Payment of Tuition, Fees, and Refunds

Registration fee

Upon acceptance to BHSON, a nonrefundable registration fee of $350.00 must be paid by the date indicated on the acceptance letter. Failure to do so within the specified time may result in cancellation of acceptance.

Semester Bill

Students are billed twice a year, prior to the start of each semester. Students enrolled in the final semester (NU 250) will receive one additional bill for the summer semester. Bills are posted to the student's SonisWeb account and an email is sent notifying you to review it. Students who fail to meet their financial obligations before the beginning of classes will not be allowed to begin class or clinical. Any tuition payment not received by the due date may be subject to a late fee of $50.00.

Registration and Payment

Tuition and fees are payable by mail or in person. Payment must be made by check or money order payable to Signature Healthcare Brockton Hospital School of Nursing (BHSON), by debit or credit card in person or over the phone, or via PayPal through SonisWeb. Cash is NOT accepted. All charges are subject to change.

Students registering for classes must be in good financial standing. Any prior balance must be paid before a student will be allowed to register for classes

Students are required to pay their bills in full in order to continue at Signature Healthcare Brockton Hospital School of Nursing. Students awarded financial aid after courses begin may be reimbursed for tuition they have already paid. Any changes in course enrollments may affect financial aid eligibility and/or loan repayment schedules. Financial aid recipients should inform the Financial Aid Office of any course changes. If there is a balance due as a result of an adjustment, the student is responsible for this amount and will be given a deadline by which full payment must be made.

Students who fail to make arrangements to pay their bill before the beginning of classes will not be allowed to attend class or clinical. Students who have not paid their financial obligations will receive written notification from the Registrar’s Office to refrain from attending any course offering.
