Tuition Fees:
The tuition fee per year of three terms at the College is $8,676.

Summary of Fees:
The following table summarizes the foregoing as to total fees per year.

Special Fees:

Part-Time College Students:
The tuition fee per term for a part-time student is $335 per credit. In addition, all part-time students pay comprehensive fees in the amount of $74 per credit. Students aged 55 years and older may apply to the College Office for a reduction in fees.

Auditors:
The tuition fee per term for an auditor is $168 per credit, plus any cost of materials supplied to the student or auditor. In general, studio and laboratory courses are not open to auditors.

Graduation Fee:
The graduation fee for those receiving baccalaureate or associate degrees is $50 and is due by May 1st. The fee covers cost of diplomas, cap and gown rental, and the graduation dinner. Graduates receive a refund of $20 after they have returned the cap and gown.

Tuition and Housing Deposits:
All new students, including transfers, are required to submit a non-refundable tuition deposit of $100 to reserve a place in the new entering class. Students who are moving into a dormitory or other on-campus housing are also required to pay a one-time housing deposit of $100. When the student moves out of the dorm and does not plan to return, the housing deposit is refunded, less any fees or fines that may still be owed to the dormitory or the College at the time of the student's departure.

Education Courses taken at Holy Family:
Students accepted into the Education program who complete required credits for their degree via our partnership with Holy Family University may be subject to special supplemental charges associated with their cost of attendance at Holy Family. Education students should confer with the College's Education Department Head to verify how this affects them on a term by term basis.

Miscellaneous Expenses:
The above fees do not include the costs of text books, educational trips, stationery, clothing, student association dues, recreation, or housing on campus during vacations. The total of these costs per student varies widely, but a yearly minimum is roughly estimated at $1,600.In addition, the costs of travel, if any, and of such medical or nursing services as may prove necessary are to be paid by the student or the parents. Students who are not covered by an appropriate U.S. medical insurance policy will be required to reimburse the College for purchase of such a policy on the student's behalf, as arranged by the School Nurse.

Payment of Fees:
Students starting in the fall term are required to make arrangements to pay fees billed for the academic year by August 15th. Initial billing for the payment due will be mailed to the student by July 15th. Students starting in the winter or spring terms are required to make payment arrangements by their first day of classes. Failure to make the required payment will delay admission to classes.

An extended payment plan is available from Tuition Management Systems, Inc. whereby the parents or student may spread payment for the full year student fees over 3 terms or 10 months starting August 15th. There is a nominal application fee of $55 per student for the ten-month extended payment plan or $40 for the three-term extended payment plan. Information about TMS can be obtained via their website, www.afford.com, or by calling 1-800-722-4867.

Students who have an outstanding balance due or are not following a payment plan will not be allowed to register for courses or receive transcripts until the balance is paid or a payment contract is signed at the Student Fees and Financial Aid Office. Students having trouble making payments are strongly encouraged to communicate their problem to the Financial Aid Office to get help and avoid punitive action.

Refunds:

Withdrawal:
If a student withdraws for any reason, the payment of those fees which have become due is not subject to cancellation or reduction. However, upon written application, and entirely at the option of Bryn Athyn College, the following credits to the student's tuition and fees account may be allowed:

• Withdrawal within 2 weeks – 50% of tuition costs for the term.
• Withdrawal within 3 weeks – 25% of tuition costs for the term.
• Withdrawal after the 3rd week – no credit of tuition costs.
• The comprehensive fee is prorated to the end of the term in which the student withdraws.
• Room and Board fees are prorated to the end of the board week in which the student withdraws, plus an overhead charge made by the food service organization, and the balance of what was billed for the term will be credited to the student's account.
• All financial aid awarded from Bryn Athyn College will be prorated based on the net fees charged. Federal financial assistance will be adjusted based on the conditions and timing of the student's withdrawal, according to the regulations of the U.S. Department of Education.

If the student is owed a refund check, it will be sent after the end of the term during which the student withdrew from school.

Change from Full-Time to Part-Time:
If a student changes from full-time to part-time status during the eligible refund period (the first three weeks of the term), the bill will be prorated such that the student is charged the full-time rate up to the date of the change, and the part-time rate from the date of the change through to the end of the term. Changes in status after the end of the eligible refund period (three weeks) will not result in an adjustment to the bill.
