Financial Information – Refund Policy

A Transcript fee is only assessed after the first one, which is free. This fee is applied to the cost of producing, proofing, handling and mailing the transcript, as well as appropriate recording.

The Graduation fee addresses the cost of certifying completion of requirements documents, providing information for offices of education, and the costs of graduation exercises (auditorium, guest speaker, caps and gowns, diploma and cover, etc.)

Add and Drop fees cover time and materials necessary to accommodate changes requested by a student and approved by academic personnel in the courses that are being taken.

See Fees & Tuition Schedule.

NOTE: ALL FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.
