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.

Study Abroad

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.

Unearned Tuition Assistance

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.

Schedule for Return

Withdrawal Submitted (8 week courses)	Return
Week 1 or before	100%
Week 2	75%
Weeks 3 & 4	50%
Week 5 (This is considered the 60% completion period for the course)	40%
Weeks 6, 7, & 8	0%

8 week courses - online
100% of TA received will be returned if the student withdraws within the first week of class, but before submission of the first assignment. The student's request will be processed as a 'drop' for the purpose of returning TA funds only, not for financial aid attendance or recalculating of aid.
75% of TA received will be returned if the student withdraws after submitting the first assignment and through the second week of classes.
50% of TA received will be returned if the student withdraws after the second week of classes but before the end of the fourth week of classes.
25% of TA received will be returned if the student withdraws after the fourth week of classes but before the end of the sixth week of classes. (This is considered the 60% completion period for the course).
No funds will be returned if the student withdraws after the sixth week of classes.

This data includes information about the user's remote IP address, referral data (which page "linked" to the present request), the browser software's user-agent string, and the number of visits each month. This information is accepted passively through cookies and the HTTP headers that are sent from the user when requesting any file from the server.

Personally identifiable data is collected only by means of form interfaces on the site, into which the user must voluntarily enter the information requested. This information is requested only when it is necessary to accomplish the overt purpose indicated by the interface containing the form that requests it.
