Miscellaneous Fees

Each student is responsible for timely payment of all outstanding charges on his or her account. Failure to remit payment in full by the published deadline may result in late payment fees, account holds, and deregistration from classes. Payment of the bill is solely the responsibility of the student regardless of who remits the actual funds.
Note: Effective 8/27/18, the late add and late registration fee are suspended until further notice.

You may or may not incur the following fees, depending on choices you make, including living on campus, eating in the dining hall, parking on campus, and other options:

Application Fee. Charged to all students who are seeking admission to the college and/or special programs offered on-campus, such as the Graduate Program or the Teacher Education Certification Program.

Enrollment Services Fee. A one-time fee charged to first-time, readmitted, graduate, and certificate students. This fee covers administrative and technical costs for new students. No student can be enrolled until the fee is paid.

Orientation Fee. A one-time fee charged to all new students. This fee covers the administrative and technical costs for the mandatory orientation program. It also covers up to two parents/guardians attendance at the orientation program.

Residence Hall Damage Deposit. Charged to all students living in on-campus housing to cover the cost of damage that may result. The unused portion of the deposit will be refunded only after the student moves out of the residence halls.

Late Payment Fee. Charged to students each semester based on the outstanding balance due after the payment deadline.

Late Add Fee. Charged to students who do not complete the add/withdrawal process within the published timelines.

Applied Music Fee. Charged to students enrolled in specific classes that offer one-on-one instruction. This fee is in addition to any tuition paid for credit hours.

Parking Fees. Charged to students who register a car and receive a permit to park in an on-campus lot.

Returned Check Service Charge. Charged to all persons who issue a check that, for any reason, is returned from the bank unpaid.

Transcript Charge. Charged to students requesting copies of their official transcript.

Credits by Portfolio Assessment. It is possible to seek credit for learning derived from work and life experience through documentation of acquired knowledge and/or skills. The decision to award credits is made by the chair of the department associated with the credits being sought. The department chair reviews the completed portfolio (form found here) and recommends to the Registrar the number of credits to be awarded in the assessed areas. A $50 per credit fee is charged per credit attempted. Further information on opportunities for assessment of non-college learning may be obtained in the Elliot Center.
