Financial Policies

Florida Campus

Refund Eligibility Upon Withdrawals

Prepayments will be refunded in full on all payments made prior to validation day, with exception of application fees and commitment deposits. Any changes of classes must be done during the drop and add period (the first two days of classes for any term). All charges stand after that time.

For any student completely withdrawing from college, the following policy would apply:

• On first day classes start - 100% credit of all charges
• From 2 - 7 days after classes start - 90% credit of tuition and board
• From 8 - 14 days after classes start - 80% credit of tuition and board
• From 15 - 21 days after classes start - 70% credit of tuition and board
• From 22 - 28 days after classes start - 60% credit of tuition and board
• From 29 - 35 days after classes start - 50% credit of tuition and board
• From 36 - 42 days after classes start - 40% credit of tuition and board
• More than 42 days after classes start - 0% credit of tuition and board

Refund calculations will be based upon the date the student begins the official withdrawal process. Days listed above are calendar days and include weekends and holidays. In cases where a student stops attending all of his/her classes without officially withdrawing, refund calculations will be done at 50% unless the student attended a class later than 35 days up to 42 days after the start of classes, the refund will be calculated at 40%. If the student attended later than 42 days after the start of classes there will be no refund.

Fees and room charges are non-refundable after the first day classes start.  Students who move off campus after classes begin will forfeit the room charge for that term.

Refund Eligibility for Recipients of Federal Financial Aid

Please read this important document regarding Federal Title IV funds. Please contact the Financial Aid Office for more information.

Room Damage Deposit

A $100 room damage deposit is required for all resident students. At the end of the academic year, any damages incurred by the student will be deducted from this deposit and the balance refunded. A room key deposit of $10.00 is included in the room damaged deposit, and if a student fails to return the key upon leaving, this amount will be deducted from the refund due to the student.

Payments/Validation Fee

Payment must be received by the due date each term. Payment received after the due date is subject to a late validation fee of $100.00.  A monthly service charge will be added on the unpaid balance to accounts over thirty days old. A service charge will be added to all multiple payment arrangements. A $25.00 service charge will be added for each check returned unpaid by the bank, and an additional $10.00 if not paid in ten days. 

All checks are to be made payable in U.S. funds. The student is responsible for any exchange fees or bank charges associated with non-U.S. checks.

Any student whose account has been written off to collection will not be allowed to take classes until the balance has been paid.

Collection of Uncollected Funds/NSF Checks

A $25 service charge will be added for each check returned unpaid by the bank.
