Special Fees
A limited number of laboratory and other special fees, not applicable to all students, are specified in the College catalog.
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, 2008 for the fall semester, and December 1, 2008 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, 2008. Spring semester payments are due by December 1, 2008. Payments must be made in accordance with the deadlines before a student is permitted to complete final registration or attend classes.
Billing Procedures
The Office of Business Services will mail student account statements prior to the August and December deadlines. Statements will be mailed to the address of the responsible billing party on record with the Business Office. The student is responsible for making sure that the responsible billing party and the 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.
Payment worksheets and student account statements with 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 not reflect credit for financial aid awards, except that awarded financial aid which is not posted or disbursed may be shown for purposes of calculating the payment due. On the payment worksheet that accompanies the statement, you are allowed to deduct the financial aid awards that have been guaranteed for that semester only (per the financial aid award letter) in determining the payment due. No deduction is allowed for work study awards. Private scholarships and private source loans may be deducted only with approval from Business Services. The scholarship donor letter must accompany the payment worksheet. If there is a question on whether aid can be deducted on the payment worksheet, contact Business Services.
The payment worksheet must be returned by the payment deadline, even if no payment is owed. Once you calculate the payment amount owed, the payment is required to be sent to Business Services, with the payment worksheet, by the payment deadline. Late submission or failure to submit the payment and payment worksheet by the deadline will result in a late fee charge. Failure to submit may result in schedule cancellation.
Once a financial aid deduction has been taken on the payment worksheet, the student is responsible for following through with that financial aid. The student is responsible for ensuring that the funds from private scholarships and private source loans are received in 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.
Payment worksheets and student account statements 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 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 plan for installment payments of tuition and fees. Please do not ask for an extension or for exceptions to the payment schedule.
Residence Hall Policy
For students who enroll for the fall semester, housing contracts are for the full academic year; thus, the student is responsible for the yearly room and meal charges. Students entering in January will contract for housing for the spring 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-bording, 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 15, 2008.
Health Insurance
The College offers a group student health insurance plan at a reasonable cost. The charge for insurance for the 2008– 2009 academic year is $350 for the basic plan, or $490 for the increased Catastrophic Cap to $50,000 plan. 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. Please visit the website at www.bollingerinsurance.com/flagler.
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.
