Cost of Credits Beyond the Standard Course Load

$19,450 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 $4,322.

Part-Time Study

Students taking less than three (3) course credits per term will be billed $12,967 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 $4,322 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

The fee for study away from Trinity for both foreign and domestic leave is $3,000 for one semester and $3,500 for two consecutive semesters.  Students who participate in Trinity-sponsored programs are not charged this fee.  The study away fee is charged to cover the administrative costs incurred by Trinity throughout the study away process.

College Withdrawal Policy

Students who officially withdraw after tuition and fees are paid, but before classes begin, will be given a refund of all charges, except for $100 which will be withheld to cover administrative costs.  If official withdrawal occurs after classes begin, in addition to the $100 administrative charge,the following will also be charged:

First and second week	20%
Third week	40%
Fourth week	60%
Fifth week	80%
After fifth week	100%

 

Your financial aid will be prorated. Please contact the Financial Aid office for further information.

Tuition insurance is available through A.W.G. Dewar Inc.  Information about tuition insurance is mailed to all students over the summer.  Tuition insurance must be in place by the first day of classes.  Additional information can be obtained by visiting A.W.G. Dewar Inc. website or calling (617) 774-1555.

The date of withdrawal is the date the Registrar receives written notification from the student.  Freshmen and transfer students withdrawing prior to the start of classes should notify the Admissions Office.  Refunds will be made on a timely basis and will be prorated among sources of outside payment.

If you receive financial aid, your refund may be calculated according to the federal refund/repayment guidelines.  A sample of this calculation process is available in the Financial Aid Office.

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 May 22, 2009 at 4:00 p.m. Any student who withdraws from housing after this date will be assessed the following fee:

 

 

If withdrawal occurs between May 23, 2009 and June 30, 2009, the cancellation fee is $500

 

If withdrawal occurs between July 1, 2009 and July 31, 2009, the cancellation fee is $750

 

If withdrawal occurs after July 31, 2009, the cancellation fee is $1000

 

These fees will be charged to your student account.
