Tuition and Fees

Tuition, fees and room rental are due at the beginning of each semester. A student, who cannot pay his entire bill at the beginning of the semester, may make application for credit. If the application is approved, the student will be required to pay a minimum of 25 percent of the bill at enrollment and pay the balance in three equal monthly installments. A student must meet the terms of his deferred payment plan if he is to be able to register for the next semester. Accounts must be paid in full by the beginning of the next school semester.

No degree or diploma will be granted, or transcript issued until all financial obligations have been paid.

The College seeks to maintain all student charges at a minimum without sacrificing its high standards of quality education. For a list of the charges, see Tuition and Fees below. If future requirements necessitate cost adjustments, the College reserves the right to change fees, modify services, or change its programs without notice.

Refunds

During the third week of the semester: 60%
During the fourth week of the semester: 40%
After the fourth week of the semester: No refund
