Tuition is charged on a term by term basis, and is due and payable in full at the beginning of each term. (Payment of tuition may be deferred until receipt of financial aid in those cases where the student is relying on such aid to pay tuition. Pursuant to the Veteran’s Benefits and Transition Act of 2018, the institution will not impose any penalty, including the assessment of late fees, the denial of access to classes, libraries or other institutional facilities, or the requirement that a Chapter 31 or Chapter 33 recipient borrow additional funds to cover the individual’s inability to meet his or her financial obligations to the institution due to the delayed disbursement of a payment by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.) In addition to tuition, the student is responsible for the application fee (for the student’s first term only), and such other charges as listed in the student’s enrollment agreement.
Payment of tuition is not contingent upon receipt of financial aid of any kind including, but not limited to, Federal Pell Grants, Federal Stafford Student Loans, or other types of loans, grants, benefits, etc. The Institution does not guarantee the receipt or likelihood of receipt of any financial aid. Eligibility for Title IV student financial aid (grants, loans, etc.) is controlled by the U.S. Department of Education. Important notice: Students are cautioned to carefully read the student financial aid section of this catalog. A student’s financial aid assistance could be terminated for any number of reasons (some of which may not be within the student’s control) before the student graduates. If this occurs, the student’s enrollment will cease (unless the student pays and the School accepts tuition and fees from another source), and both the School and student will be deemed to have fully discharged all legal obligations to each other.
Payment of tuition is solely for the right to attend classes and is not contingent upon satisfactory progress or placement upon graduation or the provision of any other service. In the event a student fails to pay tuition for any term (regardless of the reason), the Institution shall have no further obligation to that student. Application fee, book cost, educational resource fees, and tuition schedules for each program may be found in the form of a supplement at the end of this catalog. Diplomas will be issued only upon payment in full of tuition or other fees owed. In addition, delinquent tuition balances may be turned over to collection agencies and/or other collection actions may be taken.
The Institution’s only obligation under the student’s enrollment agreement is to complete classes in any term that it begins offering classes and for which the student has paid in full all tuition and fees due. The Institution reserves the right to delay the start of, suspend, cancel or permanently terminate any course, class, educational program, school term or other educational activities or services, and/or permanently discontinue campus operations.
If a student withdraws from school and believes individual circumstances related to that student warrant an exception from the refund policy published in the student’s enrollment agreement, the student may appeal to the College President.
The statement of tuition, fees and all other charges can be found at the end of this catalog and are effective for the student’s first term, but may be changed/increased for any term after the student’s first term in school. If the institution increases or changes in any way its tuition and/or fees, all students will be notified of this change. The Financial Aid Officer will send this notification by email to the student’s institutionally assigned email address. If a student does not yet have an institutionally assigned email, they will either be sent a letter through United States Postal Service or through email using the email given to the institution during the enrollment process.
