FCSL Tuition and Fees

Tuition and Fees

Tuition, fees and other charges (including interest and late fees) are the responsibility of the student. If a student withdraws after the add/drop date, the student still has the obligation to pay FCSL for any balances on account. Withdrawal procedures are addressed in the Student Handbook. The Dean of Academic Affairs and the Registrar handle academic issues pertaining to the withdrawal. The Financial Aid Office determines the financial aid implications of withdrawals.

A one-time matriculation fee of $70 is assessed at the students’ first registration.

The fall registration payment must be received or acceptable financial arrangements concluded by Monday Aug 21, 2006. A $50.00 late fee is assessed after that date. Interest is charged at 1% per month after September 30 on the unpaid balance. The last day to withdraw without financial penalty is Friday Aug 25. Financial counseling is available in the finance department.

If you completed the process for receiving financial aid, you are considered to have made an acceptable financial arrangement to the extent the aid covers tuition and fees. Any amounts due from the student above the financial aid are still due by the payment deadline.

Withdrawals and Refunds

Any student wishing to withdraw from all classes prior to the start of the term should notify the school immediately. Students who withdraw during the add/drop period will receive a full refund of tuition and fees. If they have completed an official Change of Schedule form, signed by the Dean for Academics, and filed with the Registrar's office. A withdraw becomes official on the date that the Registrar receives a completed withdraw form.

After the add/drop date, refunds or credits on balances due for students who have withdrawn are based on tuition and fees only (acceptance deposits are non-refundable). If a student withdraws before completing 20% of the semester, based upon the percentage of the enrollment period the student attended before withdrawing, a 20% refund of tuition and fees may be granted due to:

• an incapacitating illness of such duration or severity, as confirmed in writing by a physician, that the completion of the semester is impossible
• student’s call to active military duty
• death of the student or a member of the student’s immediate family (parent, spouse, child, sibling)

If a student withdraws after completing 20% of the semester, there will be no refund or credit of tuition and/or fees Under Any Circumstances.
