Tuition
The tuition charge for students is $15,977 per term. A combination of
courses equaling three units is considered a regular term schedule.
Students who enroll in more than four and one-half units in any regular
term are charged additional tuition at the rate of $3,000 per additional
unit. Students who enroll in fewer than three units in any regular term are
charged at a rate of $5,326 per unit.
The Exploration term is an integral part of the academic year. No additional
charges for tuition are made to any student who has paid full tuition for at
least one regular term of the academic year. Students who enroll in more
than four Exploration term projects while at the College are charged tuition
for each additional unit of credit received.
The summer session is not considered an integral part of the academic
year. Tuition for the 2015 summer session was $1,280 per unit. Students
who receive permission to complete an Exploration term project during the
summer session are charged for a unit of credit at the summer rate.
Confirmation Fee and Residence Hall Deposit
A tuition confirmation fee of $200 and a housing deposit of $100 are
requested from each new student within thirty days of notification of
acceptance to the College. Residence hall deposits are refundable upon
check-out.
Billing
Semester charges are due July 31 for the fall; December 31 for the spring.
If financial aid of this amount, excluding work-study funds, has been
awarded, the aid may be used to satisfy this requirement. Should a student
have an unpaid balance at the end of any term, he or she will be denied
permission to register for subsequent terms and to obtain a transcript from
the Office of Academic Records. No diploma or certificate of credit is given
to a student who is in default of any payment due to the College.
Should the account have an unpaid balance at the end of any given month,
an annual percentage rate of fifteen percent (15%) is assessed on the last
day of each month.
