Schedule of Payment

A nonrefundable enrollment deposit of $515 is due from incoming students by the deadline given with the admission offer. Students intending to pay the 2023 summer session tuition and fees through Federal Direct Loans must have a properly completed Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on file by February 1, 2023. Billing statements will reflect only charges and financial aid awards that have been approved. Students will be billed in April 2023 for the 2023 summer session. Full payment is due on or before May 12, 2023. Students are billed in December for that year's independent study session.

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 Program Directors. 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 registration, housing, and studio fees, are nonrefundable. No refunds for withdrawals will be issued after the first week of the summer session. No refund is made in cases of suspension or expulsion.
