2011 - 2012 Expenses

Tuition Refunds | Fees | Tuition Reviews | Insurance

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.

General Fees (2011 - 2012)

A $12 per credit hour fee is charged to all graduate students, with the exception of students enrolled in the MBA or MAT program. The graduate fee covers the following items: student activity fee, technology fee and student publication fee.

Health, Wellness and Athletic Center Membership Fee

Full-time graduate students (7 or more hours) $11.25/Month

Membership fee for part-time undergraduate and graduate students is optional and would be paid directly to the Dolores Dore Eccles Health, Wellness and Athletic Center.

Auditing Fees

The technology fee will apply to classes being audited, but no student activity fees or publication fees are assessed. Only students accepted to Masters degree programs may audit graduate classes. Some programs require students to be a graduate of the program in order to alumni audit a class. Please see Academic Policies and Procedures for more information on alumni audits, or contact the Alumni Office for details.

Other Fees

Student I.D. replacement fee $10

Certain courses require additional fees, which are listed in the course schedules and the Academic Catalog.

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 Student Account Services 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 Student Account Services 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 Reviews

Students may appeal full or partial charges of tuition and fees by submitting a letter of petition and appropriate documentation. The petition can be submitted to any member of the Review Committee from the following offices: Student Account Services, Registrar's Office, Financial Aid, and the Dean of Students.

All petitions must be submitted within six weeks after the end of the semester in question. Approved petitions will be made retroactive only to the last date of attendance, and tuition charges are adjusted accordingly.

Changes in registered hours may change any financial aid disbursed to an account (see also Financial Aid Miscellaneous Information, Withdrawal and Its Effect on Financial Aid, Medical Withdrawals). For example, if a student receiving merit-based aid should withdraw from the college, the student's financial aid award is canceled and all unpaid tuition resulting from the cancellation of the merit-based aid for that semester is due and must be paid immediately.

Health and Accident Insurance

Students are encouraged to carry health and accident insurance, which can be obtained through the American College Student Association and brokered through Northwestern Mutual Financial Network. Northwestern Mutual can also quote other insurance carriers that may be more cost effective or offer better coverage. There are different options and rates available to students. Coverage is also available for family members.

A premium rate example for a student 24 years of age or under is:

Low Option Plan $675 per year
High Option Plan $1,149 per year
