Payments |
Fall semester: Payments are due by August 15 Spring semester: Payments are due by December 1 Payments received after the above dates will be subject to a $50 late charge. There will be a $35 charge for any returned checks. The
college
accepts
payments
for any
amount
greater
than
$25 through
Visa,
MasterCard
and Discover.
At this
time,
the college
does
not accept
American
Express.
Credit
card
payments
can be
phoned
in and/or
mailed. Billing Procedures The
Business
Office
will
mail
invoices
prior
to the
August
and December
deadlines.
The invoice
will
not reflect
credit
for all
financial
aid grants
or student
loans; the student and/or parent should refer to their financial aid award letter or their personal on-line "Awards" page at Financial Aid On-Line before making reductions to the invoice.
Parents
and students
should
be aware
that
grants
from
the federal
or state
governments
and loans
from
banking
institutions
usually
do not
arrive
at the
College
by the
due date.
In fact,
many
do not
materialize
until
late
in the
semester.
In most
cases,
the College
is willing
to wait
for the
grant
or loan
to satisfy
amounts
owed. Advance Deposit Each
student
is required
to submit
an advance
deposit
as a
confirmation
of his/her
intention
to attend
Flagler
College
in the
fall.
These
deposits
are non-refundable
and are
applied
to the
student’s
tuition
and fees
for the
spring
semester. For new
students,
freshmen
or transfers,
advance
deposits
are due
within
three
weeks
following
the date
of acceptance.
For returning
students,
the advance
deposit
is due
on or
before
March
15. The
College
has limited
housing
for returning
students
and cannot
guarantee
that
housing
will
be available,
even
if a
student
submits
the advanced
payment
on or
before
the March
15 deadline.
Housing
for returning
students
is assigned
on a
first-come,
first-served
basis.
Therefore,
returning
students
who wish
to live
on campus
are advised
to submit
advanced
payments
as early
as possible.
The advanced
payment
for boarding
students
is $300
and for
non-boarding
students
is $100.
Students
not returning
for spring
semester
or withdrawing
before
the semester
ends
will
forfeit
the advanced
payment. Financial Aid Refunds If
the student
is expecting
a cash
refund
from
grants
and/or
loans
in excess
of the
amount
owed,
such
refund
can be
made
only
after
the funds
actually
arrive
and the
debt
to the
College
is fully
satisfied.
Florida
residents
must
wait
until
after
the Drop/Add
period
for a
refund
if the
Florida
aid results
in a
credit
on their
account.
This
can pose
some
problems
for the
student
who may
be planning
to use
such
excess
funds
for books
or living
expenses
early
in the
semester.
For this
reason,
students
should
bring
sufficient
funds
to purchase
books
and supplies. Payment Plans Flagler College does not offer a plan for installment payments of tuition and fees. Please do not ask for an extension or for exceptions to the payment schedule. The
College
endorses
certain
commercial
companies
that
provide
loans
for educational
purposes.
Information
regarding
these
programs
can be
obtained
from
the Financial
Aid Office. Enrollment Policy Students
who enroll
at Flagler
in the
fall
are encouraged
to attend
the College
for the
entire
academic
year.
Although
the College
operates
on a
semester
calendar
for academic
purposes,
financial
commitments
for instruction,
plant
operations,
and other
fixed
costs
are yearly
arrangements.
These
yearly
costs
are budgeted
on the
basis
of fall
semester
enrollments.
Therefore,
when
a student
withdraws
from
Flagler
prior
to the
end of
the academic
year,
a financial
loss
is realized
by the
College.
To offset
some
of this
loss,
the advance
deposit
is credited
to the
spring
semester
and is
forfeited
in the
case
of students
who do
not register
for the
spring
semester. Payment Policy Failure
to meet
financial
obligations
in a
reasonable
manner
can result
in the
cancellation
of a
student's
enrollment.
Students
with
balances
on their
financial
accounts
will
NOT be
awarded
a diploma
or issued
transcripts. Also, see Refund Policy
