Financing Options
Each semester’s tuition and charges are due before the first day of classes. For Fall ’05 bills will be sent out by June 15, 2005 and due by July31, 2005. Financial aid from the New York State Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) or sources internal to The King’s College will be deducted from any outstanding balance at the time of award. Financial aid from outside sources will not be deducted from an outstanding balance until payment is received by the bursar’s office.

The King's College uses Tuition Management Services (TMS) to help families manage payment of bills with minimal borrowing. If bills cannot be paid in full, arrangements must be made with TMS by July 31. A typical plan would be 10 monthly payments from July through April. A yearly charge of $60 or $45 per semester will be paid directly to TMS.

Students may not attend classes if the bill is not paid in full or arrangements have not been made with TMS. A late payment fee of $25.00 or 1% of the outstanding balance (12% annually), whichever is greater, will be charged monthly until past due installments are paid in full.

Students may not move into housing until payment or payment arrangements have been made. Failure to pay housing charges violates the dormitory agreement and may result in eviction.

There are no installment payment plans available for J-term or summer sessions. All tuition for J-term and summer sessions is due by the first day of class.

Withdrawal and Refund Policy
Students who withdraw from a course will be entitled to a refund of tuition and/or fees in keeping with the schedule below. The following schedule is based upon the date the written drop (withdrawal) request is received by the bursar or registrar:

  Fall and Spring Semester
  1st and 2nd week 100% Refund
  3rd week 60% Refund
  4th week 30% Refund
  After 4th week No Refund
  Six week Summer Sessions
  1st week 70% Refund
  2nd week 30% Refund
  After 2nd week No Refund

The refund schedule will be prorated for classes shorter than six weeks.

Note: When a semester begins on a day other than Monday, a week will be a seven calendar day period from the day of the week the semester began.

Failure to attend class does not constitute a withdrawal and does not entitle the student to a refund of tuition. Students who are administratively withdrawn for poor attendance will not receive any refunds.

Financial Clearance
Any outstanding balances, including tuition, fees and interest remaining at the end of a semester will result in final grades being withheld. All balances must be cleared in order to register for the following semester or to receive a transcript. Diplomas will be withheld from graduating students until the balances are cleared.
