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 University reserves the right to change tuition, fees and other charges from one academic semester to the next as deemed necessary by the University in order to meet its financial commitments and to fulfill its role and mission.

Continuing Studies courses may be taken by traditional students as part of their regular program and are included in the traditional tuition calculation. All courses during the summer are charged at the Continuing Studies per credit rate. For further information on the Continuing Studies programs, call 610-796-8228 or visit the Graduate Center.
Housing deposits will be processed as follows:
1. Applied to the student’s housing costs for the upcoming year.
2. Returned to the student if the student does not receive housing for the following year or chooses not to return within stated housing selection deadlines. Deposit will not be returned if the student has an outstanding balance with the University.
3. Forfeited by those students who communicate to the Student Billing Office, after the housing selection process deadline, that they will not be returning to Alvernia University or have chosen to live off campus. See the Student Handbook for details.
Current commuter students who desire on-campus housing must first pay a $250 housing deposit in the Student Billing Office and complete a housing application in the Residence Life Office. A commuter student will be assigned housing only after room selection for current resident students is complete and pending space availability. In the event there is lack of room availability, housing deposits will be refunded only if a student has no outstanding debt to the university. If a student requests placement on a housing waiting list, the deposit will not be refunded or applied to current debt until removal from the housing waiting list is requested.
