Application Fee and Deadline
The completed application form and non-refundable $75 application fee must be postmarked on or before March 15. Late applications (those received after the March 15) will be considered only on a space-available basis. All late applications regardless of consideration will require payment of an additional non-refundable $25 late fee. Any additional materials and all fees required to complete previously submitted applications must be submitted before June 15. This is not an alternate application deadline: acceptance of these materials (late transcripts, letters of recommendation, etc.) applies ONLY to previously submitted applications. Acceptance of students based on incomplete application files is conditional: files incomplete as of June 15 are subject to closure.
Tuition, Room & Board, Fees
Tuition for the 2023-2024 academic year is $8,000, or $4,000 per semester. Room and board costs for the 2023-2024 academic year total $6,000, or $3,000 per semester. Students must also pay room deposit fees ($150), and copy fees ($125) which includes photo-ID and records fees. These are in addition to the non-refundable $75 application fee.
Books
The College does not maintain an academic bookstore. Students are responsible for ordering and purchasing their own textbooks. Book lists with ISBN numbers and editions will be posted on the College website after July 15 for the Fall Semester and after December 15 for the Spring Semester, and will be distributed upon confirmation of registration.
Payment Plans and Financial Aid
The College does not participate in Federal or State education funding programs, and our students do not qualify for Federal Financial Aid. Students intending to pay via installment (before or after graduation) will meet with the Accounting Department to discuss the terms of their Financial Obligation agreement. Students may partially offset tuition by working at the College.
