EXPLANATION OF FEES Tuition covers the cost of education (12-19 hours), materials required in laboratory courses, admission to athletic events held on the campus (except NCAA Tournament events), student publications, and other activities. It does not cover breakage of College property or the purchase of expendable materials for laboratory courses. Room & Board covers cost of room occupancy and board. Each student is responsible to the College for the condition of his room and is expected to report any damage to College property to the Associate Dean of Students. The student must pay the costs of repairs or replacement for any damages and, depending on the circumstances, may suffer disciplinary action. All students-except day students, those residing off campus, those residing in private homes on campus, and married students living with their spouses-are required to board in Pannill Commons. Unlimited, 15 and 5 meal (per week) plans are available. All freshmen are required to have the unlimited plan. The 5 meal plan is limited to those students living off campus. If a student has a serious medical problem relating to diet, he may request that the College waive the boarding requirement. He must submit a specific diet recommended by his physician to the Dean of Students, who will consult with the food service manager. If the food service manager cannot reasonably meet the dietary requirements, the Dean of Students may waive the board requirement if the student can meet his dietary needs in an otherwise satisfactory manner. Comprehensive Fee covers all other costs. These include access to campus technology and computing center service, health and wellness programs, student organizations and activities. This fee is charged 50% for each semester and is non-refundable. Course Overload. Students who by special permission of the Executive Committee of the Faculty are taking more than 19 hours of course work in a given semester must pay an overload fee for credit hours above 19. Part-time (fewer than 12 hours) and Special Students (normally no more than 7 hours) pay a per-credit-hour fee for courses taken at the College. See the descriptions in the Academic Program section. Students carrying at least 12 hours each semester are considered full-time.
