Billing and Payment of Charges

All student billings and payments are administered through an online portal. The College does not send account activity statements. All account activity will ONLY be available online. Tuition, room and board, and fee charges are assessed by the college on an academic year basis. However, charges are payable on a semester schedule. The fall semester is due on August 15th and the spring semester is due January 15th each year. Students who arrive on campus with a balance after the due date and no arrangements made for payment of the balance may have their class registration dropped until a payment schedule is arranged with the business office (317-738-8033).

GI Bill Recipients

Students entitled to GI Bill benefits under Chapter 31 or 33 may participate in the course of education during the period beginning on the date on which they provide a Certificate of Eligibility or Statement of Benefits obtained from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and ending on the earlier of the following dates: The date on which payment from the VA is made to the college, or 90 days after the date the institution certified tuition and fees following the receipt of the Certificate of Eligibility. The college will not impose any penalty, including late fees, the denial of access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities, or the requirement that a covered individual borrow additional funds, on any covered individual because of the individual’s inability to meet his or her financial obligations to the college due to the delayed disbursement funding from VA under Chapter 31 or 33.

Running Start Program

Specially qualified high school students may be admitted as part-time students under the Running Start Program. Running Start students are charged $445 per course. A student may take no more than two courses per semester. Running Start students taking courses with labs are charged a $75 lab fee. Courses over 4 credits will be charged an additional $110 per credit hour.

Mature Students

Tuition is free for students age 65 or older. Mature students are charged a $25 registration fee each semester. There is a maximum of 2 classes per semester.

Financial Clearance

Students will be denied registration privileges and housing applications if a balance is owed to the college in an amount greater than $500 as of the date for these activities. On August 15 and January 15, students owing an amount greater than $500 may be dropped from class schedules and housing assignments. No student will be granted a diploma, academic transcript, or financial aid transcript until financial obligations to the college have been satisfied. Delinquent bills for any recognized campus organization may result in withholding a student’s transcript, diploma, or registration.

Financial Responsibility Agreement

This policy requires all students to complete our financial responsibility agreement each semester prior to enrollment. This agreement outlines the student’s commitment to pay ALL expenses incurred at the college (including any penalties that result due to past due payments). This requirement must be completed prior to enrollment. You can access this policy at https://franklincollege.edu/campus-resources/business-office/ or here as a PDF.

Reduction of Fees

Registration constitutes a contractual agreement between the college and the student. If a student withdraws from all classes or reduces the number of hours carried, he or she may be entitled to a reduction in tuition, room, board, and other charges. Adjustments are based on the date of official withdrawal as recognized by the Vice President for Student Development & Dean of Students. The Fee Reduction policy is subject to change annually.

Proper withdrawal papers must be submitted to the Dean of Student Success. If withdrawal becomes necessary, please contact the Dean of Student Success for more information and to set up an exit interview. Students who are dismissed, suspended, or withdrawn for disciplinary reasons or excessive absences by the college are not entitled to fee reductions. Students who fail to observe withdrawal regulations may place their eligibility for refunds in jeopardy.

In order to withdraw and receive a fee reduction of school charges, a student must comply with four withdrawal requirements. The student must: 1. Complete appropriate withdrawal process through the Center for Student Success. 2. Receive confirmation of withdrawal from the Vice President of Student Development & Dean of Students. 3. Clear all financial accounts through the Business Office. 4. Report to the Office of Financial Aid if the student received any financial aid (scholarships, grant, work, or loan).

Calculation of Fee Reductions

Fall and Spring Semesters

When a student has withdrawn from the college and is eligible for a fee reduction for fall or spring semesters, the tuition charges will be adjusted according to following table: Prior to or on the first day of classes, 100% After the first day, during the first week of classes, 90% During the second week of classes, 75% During the third week of classes, 60% During the fourth week of classes, 45% During the fifth week of classes, 30% No refund is given after the fifth week of classes

Students who reduce their enrollment from full-time to part-time (less than 12 hours per semester) through the last day to drop a course may be eligible for a fee reduction based on the difference between full-time and parttime tuition charges. Students must be aware that a change to part-time status may put their athletic, housing,

and financial aid eligibility in jeopardy.

Immersive Term

Board will be calculated on a pro-rata basis of 25% of immersive term charge per week. As there is no additional charge for immersive term room for those students enrolled full time in the fall semester, no fee reduction applies. No reduction of tuition or room is made for those students not enrolled in immersive term or who reside off campus during immersive term.

Summer School

When a student is eligible for a fee reduction for summer school, the tuition and room charges will be adjusted according to following table: Prior to or on the first day of classes, 100.0% After the first day, during the first week of classes, 50.0%

No fee reductions will be given after the first week of classes.

Refunds and Returns

When a student has withdrawn from the college, a recalculation of any Federal, State and Institutional aid must be conducted to determine the amount of aid a student is eligible to retain. Return of funds will be issued to Federal and State financial aid sources first and then to Institutional sources. If a credit of aid retained remains only then will a refund be issued to the student. Refund calculations will be completed within 30 days of recognized withdrawal date.

Housing contracts may be terminated without penalty by the student if written notification is received by the Department of Residence Life on or before June 1st . Termination of the contract for any reason after June 1st but prior to occupancy will result in a $500 cancellation fee*. Cancellation of the housing contract after a student has occupied the room may receive a fee reduction for their room costs in accordance with the fee reduction schedule.

Students who are released from their housing contract between the conclusion of the fall and beginning of Spring term will be subject to a $1500 cancellation fee.
