Bursar

Withdrawal from programs at Fisher College are subject to certain deadlines and regulations.  Dropping or withdrawing from a course or all courses will result in pro-rated tuition charges based on the date of withdrawal. 

Students living on-campus in any Fisher College residence hall will be charged in accordance with the tuition withdrawal schedule.  The percentage of refund will first be applied to semester charges.  

Please note: your financial aid award may be adjusted due to your date of withdrawal.

Room and board refunds are not available to students who remain enrolled in the college and change their residency from on-campus to off-campus status following the start of the semester.

Program Costs, Billing, and Financial Aid

Students who participate in an approved Fisher College Study Abroad Program will be assessed tuition charges and comprehensive fees equivalent to the standard semester charges. In some instances, however, the cost of your individual program may exceed the full amount of these base charges. When this situation occurs, the student will be assessed an additional “International Program Fee" which will be posted to your student account. The total of your per semester charges (tuition, comprehensive fee and International Program Fee) will not exceed the program costs paid by Fisher College. The semester charges and program fees posted to the student account are payable to Fisher College by the student. Subsequently, Fisher College remits payment on your behalf to our affiliated Study Abroad Program administrator.

Commonly, at the beginning of the program application process, a deposit of approximately $500- $1000 is required to be paid directly to the affiliated program administrator by the student. Please refer to your specific program to determine the exact amount of the deposit. In addition, it is the responsibility of the student to determine and confirm the full extent of the services (tuition, room, board, travel, etc.) covered by the program cost as outlined above.  Students must remit a copy of the final invoice to the Office of the Bursar for final payment confirmation. Fees for additional services not outlined in your program will be the responsibility of the student. A student may, opt into the Fisher College Student Health Insurance if they wish to seek additional insurance coverage. Please refer to the Fisher College website for information on the student health insurance program. Tuition insurance through Fisher College partnership with Liberty Mutual, remains available to students studying abroad. Federal and state financial aid awards, including grants and loans, are available to eligible students who are participating in the Study Abroad Program. All Fisher College institutional aid and grants are not available during the period of participation. We encourage students to research and apply to scholarship funding that may be available directly through the Study Abroad Program.

Please see the Office of Financial Aid for assistance in determining your exact eligibility for financial aid.

RETURN OF TUITION ASSISTANCE

Military Tuition Assistance (TA) is awarded to a student under the assumption that the student will attend school for the entire period for which the assistance is awarded. When a student withdraws, the student may no longer be eligible for the full amount of TA funds originally awarded.   

To comply with the Department of Defense policy, Fisher College will return any unearned TA funds on a prorated basis through at least the 60% portion of the period for which the funds were provided.  TA funds are earned proportionally during an enrollment period, with unearned funds returned based upon when a student stops attending.  These funds are returned to the Military Service branch.

Instances when a Service member stops attending due to a military service obligation, the educational institution will work with the affected Service member to identify solutions that will not result in student debt for the returned portion.
