Special fees for the 2013–2014 academic year are outlined below.

  • Enrollment Deposit | $200.

    Due by May 1. All new students, including transfers, are required to submit a non-refundable enrollment deposit of $200 to reserve a place in the new entering class. Once a student enrolls, this amount is credited to the student's account.

  • Housing Security Deposit | $250 - Resident students only.

    Resident students are required to submit a housing security deposit of $250 prior to the first time they move into an on-campus housing facility. This deposit is used to cover any damage incurred to a resident’s room during their stay on campus. If no damage or other charges are applied to this deposit when a student leaves campus (upon graduation, withdrawal, or change of resident status), this deposit will be refunded in full to the student. If charges have been applied, the remaining amount (if any) will be refunded to the student.

  • Registration Fee | $100 - Returning students only.

    All returning students are required to submit a registration deposit of $100 towards the next academic year’s tuition. Due by June 1st. This deposit is non-refundable after the due date

Any additional medical or nursing services are to be paid by the student.

  • Part-Time College Students | $680 per credit.

  • Graduation Fee | $50. Due by May 1.

    The graduation fee is charged to students receiving baccalaureate or associate degrees. 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.

  • Book Store Credit Policy

    Students are allowed to purchase books and supplies on credit at the book store up to $500, but balances at the book store are due three weeks into each term. After the three week mark, students will not be able to purchase books on credit until the final week of the term. During the final week of each term students can purchase books on credit for the upcoming term. Students with unpaid book store balances after the three week mark will have a hold put on their registration. Students who don’t resolve their registration hold by the end of the registration period will be unregistered from their classes for the upcoming term.

    Due date for book store balances:
    Balances at the bookroom must be paid in full by the end of the third week of the term.

    Consequences for unpaid balances after the 3rd week of the term:
    After the third week, students with unpaid bookroom balances will have a hold put on their registration, which prevents them from registering for classes for the upcoming term. Students who don’t resolve their registration hold by the end of the registration period will be unregistered from any classes they previously registered for.

  • Education Courses taken at Holy Family

    Students accepted into the Education program who complete student teaching requirements through a consortium agreement with Holy Family University will pay Holy Family University tuition and fees for that semester ($12,795 in 2012-13).
