Tuition - Returning Students
Returning commuter students must pay a non-refundable $200 advance registration fee. Returning resident students must pay an additional non-refundable $200 advance room reservation fee.
Advance Payment Fee Notices are mailed in February and payment is due within 30 days. No student will be allowed to register unless accounts are clear of all indebtedness to the college and the advance payment fee is received by the college Bursar. It is the responsibility of each student to pay charges as listed below. A late fee of $200 will be charged to accounts after the semester due date.
In the event of any financial default, the college shall have the right to employ a collection agency and/or any other legal means to collect sums due. Students will be required to pay all collection costs, including legal fees and interest.
Other expenses include a contingency deposit of $150 that is required of all full-time students as a guarantee for payment of damage to or loss of college property, residence hall damages, unpaid telephone charges, library and parking fines, or similar penalties imposed by the college. Throughout the academic year, students who have used any of the $150 will be billed accordingly. Upon graduation or withdrawal from the college, students will receive a refund of that portion of the contingency deposit not used.
Diplomas and transcripts will not be issued until a student has made satisfactory settlement of his or her accounts. Charges for the 2007-2008 year are payable as follows:

When classes are in session, the Dining Hall is open at scheduled hours to serve breakfast, lunch and dinner from Monday through Friday; a continental breakfast, brunch and dinner on Saturday; and, brunch and dinner on Sunday. The Food Court is open from 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Students can eat at either the Dining Hall or Food Court.
