Policies

Refund Schedule: A student may withdraw from the College at any point through 4 weeks into the semester and be given a refund of tuition on a pro-rata basis.  After four weeks no further refunds are granted, although a student may still withdraw from the college until the drop deadline.  Should a student have a documented medical withdrawal after the fourth week, either a pro-rata refund will be made or the Administration and Faculty will work with the student to complete the course of study if feasible.  Board and room charges are refunded on a pro-rata schedule for whatever portion of the semester is left when the student leaves.

Payments: All checks should be made payable to Geneva College and should include the student's identification number. All tuition, fees, and housing charges for the fall semester are due by August 10 and all tuition, fees, and housing charges for the spring semester are due by Jan. 2. Interest of 1.25% per month is charged accounts not paid in 30 days. All charges, net of financial aid, are to be paid by either August 10 (Fall Semester) or Jan. 2 (Spring Semester).

A number of specialized tuition payment plans for financing college costs are available.  Some of these are advertised in national magazines or by direct mail.  Local banks may have such plans.

Further information on financial arrangements can be obtained from the Business Office by writing or visiting the college.

Books and Supplies: Required texts and supplies are available at the Campus Store and cost about $400.00 per semester.  Plan on paying for your books by cash, check, or VISA/Mastercard in the bookstore.  Students in some of the science or engineering programs should expect to pay a little more.

Applied Music Policies: College students taking music lessons, whether for credit or not, are required to register at the regular time and place for college registration.  They will be charged for 14 lessons for the semester.  Absences may be made up at the discretion of the instructor.  In certain areas of performance, private weekly instruction is available to non students.
