Application and Reservation Fees

A $40 Application Fee must accompany each application for admission. During the application process, the applicant is requested to pay the $110 Reservation Fee. After the Reservation Fee is received, the applicant is written regarding the status of his application. The Application Fee is nonrefundable and nontransferable. The Reservation Fee is nonrefundable and nontransferable unless the College initiates the cancellation of a student’s reservation or unless within three working days of the payment and before classes begin, the student submits a written refund request.

The $110 spring semester Reservation Fee for returning students is due December 14, 2007. The $110 fall semester Reservation Fee for returning students is due May 7, 2008, unless the student notifies the College by May 2, 2008, that he is not returning.

Tuition

The $1,575 tuition per semester allows the student to register for up to 17 semester hours without an overload charge. Additional hours above 17 are charged at the rate of $160 per hour for credit or $80 per hour to audit. Credits earned by proficiency are not included in the semester’s tuition and are charged at the rate of $140 per hour. Part-time students (taking 11 hours or fewer per semester) are charged at the rate of $140 per hour for credit or $70 per hour to audit. Residence hall students are expected to take a minimum of 12 semester hours; in the rare event that a residence hall student is granted permission to take fewer than 12 hours, he is still classified as full-time financially as well as academically.

Room and Board

Room and board is $1,675 per semester and does not include charges for the Interterm and Post-term periods.

Academy Boarding Students

Tuition per semester is $1,575. Annual tuition may be paid in ten payments of $315 each.
Academy boarding students are on campus seven additional weeks during the academic year. Therefore they pay room and board of $2,070 per semester. Annual room and board may be paid in ten payments of $414 each. See Health Services Fee also.

Telephone Services Fee

The Telephone Services Fee ($100, plus tax, per semester, subject to change) covers phone rental, required maintenance, the ability to receive calls from the residence hall switchboard, on-campus calling, local calls, long-distance calls (400 minutes every 27–30 days), and voice mail. Other long-distance and information calls are billed separately on monthly statements and are due at the same dates as all other charges.

Health Services Fee

Residence hall undergraduate students will pay an initial Health Services Fee of $6 per academic credit each term. Academy boarding students pay an initial fee of $85 each term. This entitles students to one Graf Clinic visit per calendar month. Each return visit ordered by Graf Clinic staff will incur an additional $5 fee. Subsequent visits in a month will cost $10 each.

Technology Fee

All residence hall and town students pay this non-refundable $50 fee each semester to help cover the cost of an individual on-campus e-mail address and limited Internet access. Wireless connections in the residence halls and in selected buildings on campus allow students convenient access to these services.

Student Services Fee

This nonrefundable semester fee covers student services and activities such as library, Fine Arts Series, athletic events, yearbook, and collegian and class dues. The part-time student’s fee does not include Fine Arts Series or yearbook. The Student Services Fee is payable with the first payment each semester.

Full-time students (12 hours or more)

Residence hall students $300
Town students $300

Part-time students (11 hours or fewer)

Town students (6 to 11 hours) $200
Town students (1 to 5 hours) none

Contingency Deposit

Each undergraduate and Academy student places on deposit with the College a Contingency Deposit of $50 to cover unpaid assessments made by various agencies in the College including, but not limited to, laboratory breakages and property damage. If charges are made against the contingency account, the deposit must be restored to its original amount at the next registration. The Contingency Deposit balance is refundable upon written request after the termination of enrollment, if the student’s business office account is paid in full.

Academic Program Fee

The Academic Program Fee varies from one program of study to another. Some majors require courses that use special facilities or equipment; therefore, the fee reflects that usage. There are no separate course fees for required major courses and no overload charges unless the student registers for more than 17 hours per semester. Academic Program Fee charges are assessed according to the declared major at the end of the drop/add period and are listed in the catalog with each major. Students with an undeclared major pay a fee of $40 per semester or $10 per payment. Part-time students pay a fee of $20 per semester or $5 per payment. Students with a double major pay the larger program fee plus half of the smaller.

Music Course Fees

Music Course Fees are paid by non-music majors for the following courses to help underwrite the cost for personalized music instruction.

Private Lessons $150
Hymnplaying $75
Group Instruction
(brass, harp, percussion, piano, strings, voice, woodwind)
$75

Payment Plan

The basic cost may be paid by the semester. A payment plan of eight payments is also available to students who are U.S. citizens. Payments may be made by check, money order, Visa®, MasterCard®, or Discover®. Payments may be charged automatically to a credit card for students who apply for this service. Please note: We are unable to accept postdated checks or to hold checks. By August 1 [January 12] all students must pay the Student Services Fee, the Technology Fee, the Health Services Fee, the Contingency Deposit (if applicable), and at least one fourth of the semester’s tuition, room and board, and Academic Program Fee.

Students with accounts more than 10 days in arrears may not be allowed to attend class until their accounts are made current. If after students have missed 5 class days and their account is still not current, they may be required to discontinue enrollment.

Payment Schedule for Part-time Town Students
