Advance Deposits
Students are required to submit an advance deposit as a confirmation of their intention to attend Flagler College, and this deposit will reserve an enrollment space as a FULL-TIME student. These deposits are non-refundable and are applied to the student’s tuition and fees for the fall semester. Failure to notify the Office of Business Services in writing prior to the payment deadline that a student will not be attending will result in a tuition charge of 25% of tuition. In addition, advance deposits for boarding students reserve a room assignment, and failure to notify the Office of Business Services in writing prior to the payment deadline that a student will not be attending or will not be residing in student housing will result in a full semester room charge fee. The payment deadlines are August 1, 2010 for the fall semester, and December 1, 2010 for the spring semester.
Payment of Tuition and Fees
Failure to meet financial obligations in a reasonable manner can result in the cancellation of a student’s enrollment. Students with balances on their financial account will NOT be awarded a diploma or issued transcripts.
Payment Schedules
Fall semester payments are due by August 1, 2010. Spring semester payments are due by December 1, 2010. Payments must be made in accordance with the deadlines before a student is permitted to complete final registration or attend classes. Not adhering to the deadline date will result in a late fee of $250.00.
Billing Procedures
The Office of Business Services will e-mail student account notifications prior to the August and December deadlines to students who owe the College funding for the invoiced term. Notifications will be e-mailed to the student and the responsible billing party on record with the Business Office at the e-mail address provided on the E-Mail Authorization Form. The student is responsible for making sure that the responsible billing party and the e-mail address on record with the Business Office are up-to-date prior to June 15 and October 1 for the August and December billings, respectively.
E-mail notification of charges for the upcoming semester will be sent to students who have submitted an advance deposit, reserving a full-time enrollment space. If a student has decided not to attend, the Office of Business Services must be notified in writing prior to the payment deadline.
The student account statement will reflect all tuition related charges and credit for financial aid awards that have been approved by the Financial Aid Office at the time of the statement. Any awards not shown on the student account statment must be verified and approved by the Financial Aid Office prior to deducting for purposes of calculating the payment due. No deduction is allowed for work study awards. Private scholarships and private source loans may be deducted only with prior approval from Business Services Office. The scholarship donor letter must accompany the payment. If there is a question on whether aid can be deducted on the payment worksheet, contact the Office of Business Services at 904-819-6230.
Late submission or failure to submit the payment for the outstanding balance by the deadline will result in a late fee charge of $250.00. Failure to submit payment may also result in schedule cancellation.
The student is responsible for ensuring that the funds from private scholarships and private source loans are received in the Office of Business Services. The College is not responsible for sending bills or statements for private scholarships, private source loans, or any other third party entities. If there is any change in financial aid, the student is responsible for any resulting balance owed on the student account. Students and responsible billing parties should be aware that grants from the Federal and State governments and loans from Federal programs or banking institutions usually do not arrive at the College by the payment due date. In fact, most do not materialize until late in the semester. In most cases, the College is willing to wait for the grant or loan to satisfy amounts owed. Students should bring sufficient funds to purchase books and supplies, and to provide for any other necessary expenses for the first six weeks of the semester.
Student account notices are sent prior to the August and December deadlines. If additional charges are added to the student account during the semester, Business Services may send out an interim statement, depending on the amount of the balance owed. Students are responsible for checking their account status on line or with the Business Office during the semester and at the end of the semester regarding the student account balance. Any amount owed to the College may result in a student not being allowed to register for the subsequent semester.
Payment Plans
Flagler College does not offer a payment plan of any type. All statements are due by the semester due dates; Fall term August 1st, and Spring term, December 1st.
Residence Hall Policy
Students who enroll for the fall semester and have completed the Housing Contract Agreement are obligated for the full academic year; thus, the student is responsible for the yearly room and meal charges. Students enrolling for the spring term, starting in January, will execute housing contracts for the semester only.
Meal Plan Policy
New incoming and transfer students will be required to live on campus and to purchase the full meal plan for their first academic school year. Returning students, boarding and non-boarding, will have the option to select from three Meal Plan Options detailed in the "Downloadable Forms" section, "Meal Plan Option Selection Form", Business Services Tab main page. Selections must be made and submitted to Student Services by June 18, 2010.
Health Insurance
The College offers a group student health insurance plan at a reasonable cost. The charge for insurance for the 2010–2011 academic year is $350 for the basic plan, or $490 for the increased Catastrophic Cap to $50,000 plan. If you are enrolling in the plan for the Spring Semester only, the basic plan is the only option available. The cost for the one semester, basic coverage plan is $250. All students who are US citizens are required to purchase the health insurance unless the student waives insurance coverage, stating that the student is adequately protected by other policies. All students who are not US citizens are required to purchase the insurance, and are not allowed to waive the coverage, even if they are insured via another policy.

Books and Supplies
Tuition does not include the cost of required textbooks and supplies which must be purchased at the beginning of each semester. Students should report to the College with sufficient funds to purchase the required textbooks and supplies. Even if a student is expecting to have a credit on the student account from financial aid, that credit will not be available for refund in time for the student to purchase books and supplies.
