2003-04 Greenville College Catalog

Traditional Program Costs Summary

*Interterm Tuition & Fees:
Tuition and room costs for Interterm (Three-week January session) are included in the cost for the Fall and Spring semesters. Any student who attends Greenville College, full time, for the Fall and/or Spring semesters need only to pay for books, supplemental course fees, and meals if living in College housing during Interterm. Supplemental course fees (e.g. for travel costs) cannot be refunded after the start of Interterm. Students who enroll at Greenville College for Interterm but not for either the Fall or the Spring semester of the same academic year must pay Interterm tuition. The Interterm tuition charge is the same as the May Term tuition charge. For students only enrolling in the 2004 Interterm this will be $220 per credit hour.

Off-Campus Study Programs: 2003-2004
Greenville College has allocated $90,000 for students to be involved in off-campus programs for the 2003-04 school year. Depending upon the combination of costs for off-campus program participants, it is estimated that up to twelve (12) students may study off-campus and be supported by institutional financial aid.

An Off-Campus Study Committee will meet to review the pool of students who have been accepted for off-campus study through the application process of the individual programs. This Committee will determine which students will be allowed to participate, based on published criteria, in an off-campus program with institutional aid.

Costs for all off-campus programs will be the greater of GC’s tuition, room and board or the program’s tuition, room, board, and fees. Students, if approved for off-campus study by the Committee, may carry institutional aid to only one program. Students have the option of participating in one or more off-campus programs without institutional aid.

Students attending Greenville College under reciprocal tuition waiver agreements will not be allowed to apply institutional aid to off-campus
programs. Dependents of Greenville faculty, administration, and staff may use the tuition benefit (according to institutional policy) for one semester off-campus program according to the above guidelines.

Withdrawal and Refund
Students withdrawing from Greenville College prior to 60% of semester completion will have charges and eligible financial aid pro-rated, effective the official date of withdrawal from the College. Students who withdraw beyond 60% of semester completion are responsible for full charges for the semester. Refunds of financial aid will be issued to the qualifying student/parent within 30 days of the date of withdrawal. Prompt payment of any remaining charges is required.

There is no provision for rebates to students for any “missed periods” in the semester, or who forgo the opportunity to take a class during January Interterm.
