Tuition and Fees 2012-2013

Immaculata University offers a fixed comprehensive tuition rate based on admit year for full-time students in the College of Undergraduate Studies. The fixed tuition rate will remain constant for the four continuous year program (eight fall & spring terms). If a student withdraws and then reapplies, the tuition rate will be assessed at the current year’s annual tuition rate. Full-time students taking more than 18 credits in a term will be charged the current per credit rate for each additional credit in excess of 18 credits. Music lessons are billed separately.

Immaculata reserves the right to revise charges whenever the University or the Board of Trustees considers it to be appropriate.  

Enrollment and Reservation Deposits

Freshmen and transfer students entering the College of Undergraduate Studies are asked to reserve their place by submitting a deposit:

• Enrollment Deposit: $250 (all students). Once submitted, the enrollment deposit will be applied as a payment towards the student account balance. The enrollment deposit is refundable only if requested in writing prior to May 1st for students applying for the fall term, and December 15th for students applying for the spring term.
• Room Reservation Deposit: $250 (resident students). Once submitted, the room reservation deposit will allow room assignment. The deposit is not applied as a payment towards the student account balance but is held until the student graduates or withdraws. The room reservation deposit, less any outstanding financial obligations including room damages, will be refunded within the month following commencement. In case of withdrawal, this deposit less any outstanding financial obligations will be refunded if official notice of withdrawal is filed by June 15th in the office of the Dean of the College of Undergraduate Studies.

Payment Policy

Tuition and fees are assessed on a term basis and are due in full by the term payment due date. Once registered, a student assumes financial responsibility for charges. Students are not permitted to attend classes or occupy University housing until full payment or payment arrangements have been made with the Business Office prior to the term due date. Late fees are assessed monthly. Students registering after the term payment due date are required to pay at the time of registration.

It is the responsibility of all financial aid recipients to ensure that their financial aid is available by the term payment due date.

Students with outstanding financial obligations will not be permitted to register for future terms, receive grades, teacher certifications, transcripts or diploma.

Immaculata University reserves the right to assign outstanding account balances to a collection agency; the student is responsible for all collection agency fees.

Student Refunds

In compliance with Federal regulations, it is Immaculata University's policy that credit balances on a student account resulting from the receipt of Federal funds be refunded to the student, third party (such as borrower) or lending institution. Immaculata will process refunds within 14 days of the start of the term and weekly during the term in accordance with Federal guidelines.

The Business Office processes and mails refund checks to the home address provided by the student. Using SSIU-Self Service at IU, students may select to have their refunds deposited directly into their bank account. Refunds are based on the disbursement of funds and the order in which they are received on the student account. Refunds are issued to the student unless the Parent PLUS Loan creates the credit to be refunded. In this case the refund will be issued to the borrower.

Credit balances resulting from non-Federal funds will be processed within three weeks after the credit occurs and issued to the appropriate party. Refunds are process for the full amount; partial refunds will not be processed.

Credit balances (up to $800) may be transferred to the students' university One Card to purchase books at the Campus Bookstore.

Students may request to have their student account credit balance held to pay future charges through the end of the aid year. The aid year runs Fall through Summer. All credits are refunded at the end of each aid year. Contact the Business Office or the Office of Financial Aid to obtain the Title IV Authorization Hold form.

Once a student has graduated or is no longer enrolled at Immaculata and all financial obligations have been met, eligible refunds will be issued.
