Failure to complete a payment plan or financial aid documents by the end of the second week will result in the student not being able to attend any more classes as outlined in the college class attendance policy.
Class Changes
Tuition and fees are based upon
registration at the beginning of the semester. Tuition and fees adjustments
are made based on registration at the end of the first two weeks in
a semester.
Withdrawal Policy
A withdrawal occurs when a student
officially withdraws, drops out, or otherwise fails to complete the
program of study on or after the first day of classes. The withdrawal
date is that specified on the official form acknowledged by the college
registrar.
Refund Policy
The tuition, fees, room, and board
charges (institutional charges) for students who withdraw on or after
the first day of regularly scheduled classes will be prorated on a
daily basis over the first 60 percent of the enrollment period. Hesston
College institutional aid will be reduced in the same percentage as
institutional charges. No refund is made after 60 percent of the enrollment
period is completed.
Laboratory fees and clinical fees
will be prorated based on percentage of curriculum plan completed
prior to withdrawal. Bookstore charges, student health insurance,
and other personal costs are not prorated at withdrawal.
Hesston College follows federal
aid guidelines in determining the amount of unearned aid to be refunded
to Federal Student Financial Aid programs. A summary of when the return
of Title IV federal student aid funds applies and a listing of which
Title IV funds are included in these provisions is available from
the Financial Aid office. Any refund will be applied in this order:
Stafford Loan, PLUS, Perkins Loan, PELL Grant, FSEOG. Examples of
calculations of earned and unearned institutional charges, financial
aid, and refunds upon withdrawal are available upon request. Other
government or private aid will be refunded as required by the terms
of the particular program.
Bookstore
Textbooks and supplies should
be paid for with cash or check. Bookstore charges are permitted for
textbooks only. Only students with a credit balance on account will
be permitted to charge. A charge permission slip must be obtained
from the Business Office.
Health Insurance
Hesston College requires all students
to have health insurance. For students not enrolled in a health insurance
plan, the college offers a plan that provides basic medical coverage
from time of enrollment in the plan (but no earlier than Aug. 22,
2005) through Aug. 21, 2006. This policy remains in effect and no
refund is provided even if the student withdraws or graduates from
Hesston College prior to Aug. 21, 2006.
Hesston College requires that
intercollegiate athletes submit evidence of health insurance coverage.
If an athlete is not covered under an individual or family health
plan, the college requires that the athlete purchase the student health
plan and additional sport health coverage.
Aviation Students
Students enrolled in aviation
courses who have past due accounts will be suspended from flying until
the account is brought current. Aviation instruction and aircraft
hours in excess of curriculum plan will be charged at current rates.
Canadian Discount Policy
Canadian students, not dual or
U.S. citizens living in Canada, will receive a Canadian currency discount
for on-campus tuition, room, and board less any grant aid. A Canadian
currency exchange credit will be applied to the student’s account
at the beginning of each term, calculated at the current rate of exchange.
Therefore, all payments must be made in U.S. dollars. Any off-campus
programs, aviation laboratory, clinical, other laboratory, health
insurance, telephone, bookstore, or other fees assessed will require
payment in U.S. dollars without discounting.
