Description of Non-Traditional Charges
Cost of Credits Beyond the Standard Course Load
For 2012-2013, $21,785 is charged for full-time study per semester, which is defined as 3.0 to 5.75 course credits per term. Since standard course credits carried per term are 4.5, the College allows for 1.25 additional course credits to be carried without charge. Students who register for 6.0 course credits are charged an additional $4,841. For enrollment over 6.0 course credit please contact student-accounts@trincoll.edu.
Part-Time Study
Students approved for and enrolled in less than three (3) course credits per term will be billed $14,523 per term, which represents 2/3 of full tuition. Written notification of approval of part-time study by the Dean of Students must be submitted to the Office of Student Accounts.
Repeat Courses
A fee of $4,841 will be charged for each repeated course if that course brings the student’s course credit hours over the 5.75 limit.
Study Away Fees
A study away fee is charged by the College whenever a student attends a program that is not administered by the College. The fee for Affiliated programs is $800 for one semester and $1000 for a full year or two consecutive semesters. The fee for non-Affiliated programs is $3000 for one semester or $3,500 for a full year or two consecutive semesters. The fee is charged through the regular college billing process and is charged to cover the administrative cost incurred by Trinity throughout the study away process. For additional info please refer to the Office of International Programs site.

Residential Life Cancellation Fee
In order to ensure that students who select rooms in the housing lottery have the intention of residing in those rooms, the Office of Residential Life has instituted a room cancellation fee policy. This policy allows the College to better manage occupancy and vacancy issues and provides students on the housing waiting list a realistic estimate of whether or not housing will become available.
The cancellation deadline is 4:00 pm. on May 2, 2012 to withdraw without penalty. Any student who withdraws from housing after this date will be assessed the following fee:
If withdrawal occurs between May 3rd, 2012 and June 30th, 2012, the cancellation fee is $500
If withdrawal occurs between July 1st, 2012 and July 30th, 2012, the cancellation fee is $750
If withdrawal occurs after July 30th, 2012, the cancellation fee is $1000
These fees will be charged to your student account.
