TUITION/FEE APPEALS PROCESS
Meetings
Committee meetings will be called by the Chair. Normally, the
Committee will meet on a monthly basis.
Procedures
Students will complete a Tuition Appeals Form that will be submitted to
the Director of Cashiering & Student Accounts. Appeal forms are also available in the Office of Cashiering & Student Accounts.
Appeals will be reviewed
and acted upon at the next committee meeting. The committee may decide to
approve or deny the appeal. If approved, the committee will decide what
action is to be taken. The appealed charge may be either reduced or
entirely cancelled. The decision of the committee is final.
Appeals will generally be approved for the following reasons as long as
appropriate supporting documentation is provided:
-
extended periods of physical or mental illness of the student documented
by a physician’s or psychiatrist‘s statement or other medical
documentation
-
extended periods of physical or mental illness of the student’s
immediate family member who is dependent upon the student for support as
documented by a physician’s or psychiatrist’s statement or other
medical documentation
-
death of a student’s immediate family member with
documentation
-
involuntary job transfers as documented by employer
-
involuntary changes in employment schedule or military deployment as
documented by employer or military documentation
-

Students will be informed in writing of the results of the committee’s
decision. The written communication will be drafted and sent by the
Director of Cashiering and Student Accounts. The mailing address submitted
