All
tuition and fees are payable by the due date in advance of each
enrollment period. Students with outstanding obligations will not
be permitted to pre-register for an upcoming semester unless financial
arrangements have been made with the Student Billing Office prior
to pre-registration. Alvernia College reserves the right to change
tuition, fees and other charges from one academic semester to the
next as deemed necessary by the College in order to meet its financial
commitments and to fulfill its role and mission.
Traditional Day Students
Dropped Courses
During the first week of classes (the add/drop period) a student may drop a
course and receive full tuition credit if applicable. Any course-affiliated
fees and/or comprehensive fees will be adjusted accordingly.
Withdrawal From Classes
Students withdrawing from a class(es) any time after the add/drop period are
not entitled to a refund. See Registration Changes in this catalog.
Withdrawal from the College
Total withdrawal from the college applies only to students who submit in writing
to the Registrar’s Office their intention to completely withdraw from
all courses. Reapplication and acceptance is required for these students to
be readmitted after withdrawing from the College. The effective date of withdrawal
is the date a completed official withdrawal notice is returned to the Registrar’s
Office. Students who do not comply with the withdrawal procedure forfeit their
right to any refund. The tuition refund schedule for students who withdraw
from the college is as follows:
Withdrawal Dates Student Refund
During 1st week of classes 100%
During 2nd week of classes 90%
During 3rd week of classes 80%
During 4th week of classes 60%
During 5th week of classes 40%
After 5th week of classes 0%
Note: In the case of a financial aid recipient, the portion refunded
may include monies that must be returned to Federal Title IV programs.
The College will use the Title IV refund policy to determine the
portion that must be repaid to the Title IV programs. Any refunds
otherwise due to a withdrawing student will be reduced by such
Title IV refunds. See The Office of Student Financial Planning for a complete description
of the Title IV Refund Policy. For information on the refund policy
for Continuing Studies call 610-796-8319.
Board/Meal Refund
Students withdrawing from the College or moving out of a college residence
are entitled to a prorated refund (minus a one-week deposit).
Room/Housing Refund
Students moving out of a college residence during a semester are not entitled
to a refund of room charges. Students should follow the room check-out procedure
in the Student Handbook.
Miscellaneous Fees/Other Charges
There will be no refund of miscellaneous fees or other charges.
Medical Withdrawal
Students who withdraw for medical reasons during the first five weeks of class
will receive tuition refunds in accordance with the previously described
