Schedule of Payment
A nonrefundable enrollment deposit of $500 is due from new and returning students on April 15, 2008. Students intending to pay the 2008 summer session tuition and fees through Federal Stafford Loans must have a properly completed Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on file by March 14, 2008, and must submit a copy of their 2007 income tax return by mid-May. Billing statements will reflect only charges and financial aid awards that have been approved. Students will be billed in April 2008 for the 2008 summer session. Full payment is due on or before May 23, 2008.

Refunds
No refund of any fees will be made in the event that a student withdraws from the program at any time after registration, except as specified herein. In no event is the enrollment deposit refundable. In all cases, the student must submit an official request for withdrawal to the Graduate Committee. The date of submission of such a request will determine the amount of refund. Students who officially withdraw before the first day of classes for the term in question will be given a full refund of all charges, less the nonrefundable enrollment deposit. If official withdrawal from the program occurs within the first five class-days of the program, 75 percent of tuition will be refunded; all other fees, including the registration and studio fees, are nonrefundable. No refunds for withdrawals will be issued after June 13, 2008. No refund is made in cases of suspension or expulsion.
