Financial Information


Tuition

Tuition and fees are payable before the beginning of each semester. Payment or arrangement for payment must be made before a student may enter class. No reduction in tuition or fees is made for late registration.

Students who do not meet their financial commitments will not be permitted to schedule classes for the following semester. Grades and official transcripts will not be released until all obligations have been satisfied.

Following are examples of estimated costs for the 2007-08 semesters. The College reserves the right to change fees and charges without notice; however, College policy mandates moderate changes with reasonable advance notice of such changes. In addition to the cost below, a student will incur expenses for books, supplies, certain special fees, and personal needs.
