As a private institution of higher learning, Westminster receives very
limited financial support from public taxes. Each student registering
at the college is charged tuition at a rate that covers approximately
70 percent of the cost of his/her educational program. The balance of
the cost must be met by income received from gifts and endowments from
trustees, alumni, faculty, churches, and other friends of the college
who help to underwrite the education that Westminster provides. The Board
of Trustees of Westminster College reserves the right to change tuition
and fees at any time.

Health and Accident Insurance
Students are encouraged to carry health and accident insurance, which
can be obtained through the American College Student Association. Their
web address is www.ACSA.com, or you may contact Brett at Ben D. Jones
& Associates (801) 302-8850 extension 220.
Payment of Tuition and Fees
Tuition, fees, and room and board charges are due in full on the first
day of the given semester. Students registering late must pay in full
when they register. Students unable to pay in full must make other arrangements
with the Accounts Receivable Office by the second week of the semester.
The college reserves the right to grant or deny financing for any student
based on his or her credit worthiness. In addition, the college reserves
the right to cancel the registration of any student who fails to comply
with all terms of his or her financial obligation with the college. Additional
information on this policy is available in the Accounts Receivable Office.
Statements of credits, certificates of graduation, or transcripts are
issued only to students who are current in their obligations with the
college. All outstanding charges are due and payable at the time students
leave the college.
Tuition Appeals
Students may appeal charges of tuition and fees (for personal and/or
medical reasons) by submitting a letter of appeal and appropriate documentation.
The appeal can be submitted to any member of the Appeals Committee from
the following offices: Accounts Receivable, Registrar's Office, Financial
Aid, and the Dean of Students.
Appeal requests must be submitted within six weeks after the end of the
semester in question. Approved appeals will be made retroactive only to
the last date of attendance.
Changes in registered hours may change any financial aid disbursed to
an account (see also Financial Aid Miscellaneous Information, Withdrawal
from College, Medical Withdrawal).
