Technology Fees Policy
The University charges a technology fee of $40 per semester to every student’s Orbund account that is active, whether or not the student is enrolled in classes during the semester. The fee is assessed to maintain accounts and ensure that they are accessible 24/7, facilitating regular enrollment in classes so that students can meet degree completion at a desirable pace.
Active and Inactive Account Status
- When a student does not to enroll in any class during a semester, without informing Mishkah, his/her Orbund account remains active for a maximum of one academic year (3 semesters) and the Technology fees still apply every semester.
- If no enrollment in classes occurs after one academic year, the account’s status is switched to inactive and access to the Orbund account is disabled.
- The account remains inactive until the student sends a request to reactivate the account. A reactivation/reenrollment fees of $65 will be charged along with the accumulated Technology fees and any past dues not paid.
- An invoice will be emailed to the student via Paypal. The account will only be reactivated upon payment and review of any required documents and updates to the account.
- Any claim or request to waive accumulated Technology fees accrued during no enrollment while the Orbund account’s status is active, will be rejected.
Avoiding Accumulation of Fees.
- If the student is planning not to enroll for more than one semester in a row, it is recommended that he/she make a formal request in writing to have the account deactivated so as to avoid the application of Technology fees during the semesters of no class enrollment
- When the student decides to reactivate the account, the reactivation/reenrollment fees of $65 will apply.
- If the plan is not to enroll in classes for only one semester, it is recommended to keep the account status active since paying $40 Technology fee for that semester is cheaper than paying $65 reactivation/reenrollment fees.
- However, if the student intends not to enroll in classes for more than one semester, it is more cost effective to request account deactivation because the reactivation/reenrollment fees of $65 would be less than accumulated Technology fees.
