Payment of Tuition and Fees
All accounts are payable in full on final enrollment day at the
opening of each semester in cash, by check, by MasterCard or Visa, or
through a College-approved tuition payment plan. For a student to
participate in the College’s own deferred payment plan, the need for
deferred payments must be established in advance at the Business Office.
In such cases, the deferred payment plan requires that a minimum of
one-half of the basic semester fees (which include tuition, room, board,
and any additional miscellaneous fees) must be paid on final enrollment
day. The balance will be paid in two equal installments including a time
charge differential equal to 1 1/4 percent per month accrued from the
date of final enrollment. In 2002-03 the balance of fees is payable on
October 15 and November 16 for the first semester, and on February 15
and March 15 for the second semester. A scholarship,
grant-in-aid, work credit or loan is not accepted as part of the initial
payment. Failure to meet an installment that is past due
automatically cancels the privileges of class attendance.
No diploma, certificate, transcript, semester grade report, letter of
honorable dismissal or letter of recommendation will be granted to
students who have an indebtedness to the College.
Students having any indebtedness to the College will not be permitted
to complete enrollment for the following semester’s classes.
Sound business practice provides guidelines for all financial
transactions with the College, including but not limited to the payment
of fees and other obligations, purchases at the bookstore and the
cashing of checks. These practices include a respect for accuracy and
punctuality; and the College deals both with students and parents when
questions concerning these transactions arise.
The College reserves the right to increase or decrease fees and
charges according to changes in economic conditions. Published notice of
any change normally will be given in advance.
Refunds
Students who withdraw prior to the end of a semester are subject to
the terms of the Albion College refund policy. Depending on the date and
circumstances of a student’s withdrawal from the College, a refund may
be in the form of pro-rated charges and credits, rather than a cash
payment to the student. Appeals by those students who feel that
individual circumstances warrant exceptions from the established policy
should be made in writing to the vice president for student affairs.
Both voluntary and involuntary withdrawals are subject to the refund
policy and a $100 withdrawal processing fee.
It should be noted that students who have enrolled under a deferred
payment agreement are bound to fulfill the terms of that agreement even
though they may withdraw from the College prior to the close of a
semester.
The refund policy is described on the next page.
General Deposit Refunds¾General deposit refunds are
made in full (less deductions for unpaid College charges) after the end
of a semester provided written notice of intent to withdraw is filed
with the vice president for student affairs by the following deadline
dates:
October 15 for withdrawal at the end of the first
semester
March 15 for withdrawal at the end of the second
semester
A 50 percent refund of the general deposit will be made when written
notice of intent to withdraw is provided to the vice president for
student affairs by the following deadline dates:
December 1 for withdrawal at the end of the first
semester
August 1 for withdrawal during the summer
A form to indicate one’s intent to withdraw is available at the
Student Affairs’ Office in the Ferguson Student, Technology, and
Administrative Services Building. Completion of this form will
constitute notification that the student intends to withdraw from the
College at the end of the current semester. Should there be a change in
the student's plans, it will be necessary for the student to submit an
application for readmission.
A student who completes his or her degree will receive a refund of
the general deposit less any remaining College charges. (e.g. room
damage, loss of keys, etc.)

Refund Policy
If a student withdraws or is suspended or expelled from Albion
College, then the student may be eligible for a refund of a portion of
the tuition, fees, room and board paid to Albion College for that
semester. If the student received financial assistance from outside of
the family, then a portion of the refund will be returned to the grant,
scholarship or loan source from which that assistance was received.
If a student plans to withdraw, then the student should complete the
Student Withdrawal Form, available from the Student Affairs Office, to
begin the withdrawal process. This procedure will enable Albion College
to refund the maximum possible institutional charges.
Two formulas exist for determining the amount of the credit:
Albion’s refund policy and a federal formula (Return of Title IV Aid)
derived from the 1998 reauthorization of the Higher Education Act. The
federal formula is applicable to any student receiving federal aid other
than Federal Work-Study if that student withdraws on or before
completing 60 percent of the semester. These students may also receive a
refund of non-federal aid through Albion’s refund policy. Students not
receiving federal aid will have their refund calculated using only
Albion’s refund policy.
Albion’s refund policy is as follows: Students who withdraw from
Albion College may receive a pro-rated refund of tuition and board fees,
according to the following schedule:
| Week |
Institutional Refund |
Week |
Institutional Refund |
| 1 |
75% tuition/pb* |
7-14 |
Pro-rated board |
| 2-6 |
40% tuition/pb* |
15-16 |
No refund |
*Pb=pro-rated board fees
The federal formula provides for a return of Title IV aid if the
student received federal financial assistance in the form of a Pell
Grant, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Perkins Loan, Federal
Family Educational Loan Program or PLUS loan and withdrew on or before
completing 60 percent of the semester. The percentage of the return is
equal to the number of calendar days remaining in the semester divided
by the total number of calendar days in the semester. Scheduled vacation
periods of more than four days are excluded.
If any refund remains after the return of Title IV aid, the refund
will be used to repay Albion College funds, state funds, other private
sources and the student in proportion to the amount received from each
non-federal source if there was no unpaid balance due at the time of
withdrawal. If there was an unpaid balance, then all aid sources will be
repaid before any money is paid to the student.
If funds were released to a student because of a credit balance on
the student’s account, then the student may be required to repay some
of the federal grants or loans released to the student.
Students who have questions about the refund policy should contact
the Financial Aid Office.
