Board for Non-Resident Students. Non-resident students who desire a meal plan in the college cafeteria apply through the Office of the Dean of Students and are charged the specified amount each semester.

Tuition and Normal Course Load. The base figure for tuition for one semester covers a load of 12 to 17 ½ semester hours.

Partial Course Load. Students taking fewer than 12 semester hours may pay tuition on a prorated basis, derived by multiplying the total number of semester hours by the figure shown for “tuition per semester credit hour.”

Special Part-Time Non-Degree Students. To qualify for this course rate, a non-degree-seeking student can take only one undergraduate course.

Course Overload. Students carrying a course load greater than 17 ½ semester hours pay for each additional hour or fraction thereof on a prorated basis as described above.

Applied Music. Private lessons in piano, organ, and voice are offered in addition to general classroom instruction in music. If the student’s credit hours for such lessons fall within the 17 ½ semester hour limit, no additional tuition will be charged, but a private lesson fee will be assessed to cover the extra cost of such instruction. If the student’s credit hours fall below 12 hours or above 17 ½ semester hours, prorated tuition will be charged as explained in the above section on Partial Course Load, and the special fee also will be assessed.

Enrollment Deposit. After acceptance, students must pay $200, which is applied to their student account, to confirm their enrollment. This fee is refundable until May 1 prior to the fall semester and December 1 prior to the spring semester.

Course Reservation Deposit (returning students). Each returning student is required to pay a $150 reservation deposit to the Business Office prior to course preregistration during the spring semester. This deposit will be applied to the student’s fall semester balance. If this deposit is not paid, the student will be charged a nonrefundable fee of $50. In order to receive a refund of the course reservation deposit, a student not returning should notify the Registrar’s Office before June 1. The Registrar’s Office will then notify the Business Office to issue a refund check. Cancellations received by the Registrar on or after June 1 are not refundable.

Room Reservation Deposit. Each returning residential student is required to pay a $100 room reservation deposit to the Business Office prior to room draw during the spring semester. This deposit will be applied to the student’s fall semester balance. In order to receive a refund of the room reservation deposit, a student not returning should notify Residence Life before June 1. Residence Life will then notify the Business Office to issue a refund check. Cancellations received by Residence Life on or after June 1 are not refundable.

Automobile Registration. Every commuting student and boarding student with a car is required to register the vehicle each school year. Vehicle registration forms will be sent with the estimated bill package, and all accounts will be charged this fee. If a student does not need to register a vehicle, he or she may return the vehicle registration waiver form, also enclosed with the estimated bill package, to the Business Office. Accounts will be adjusted upon receipt of the waiver, if received in the Business Office by the end of the third week of classes. Otherwise, the automobile registration fee will remain on the account.

Supervised Teaching Fees. Students enrolled in Introduction to Education (Education 114), Supervised Teaching (Education 421 or 441), or Practicum (Education 401) pay fees to cover costs beyond the regular instructional program at the college. These fees include expenses for the Praxis I exam, supervision in the public schools, and the National Teacher Examination.

Tek.Xam Fee. Students enrolled in Introduction to Computers (Computer Information Management 140) pay a fee to cover the cost of the Tek.Xam, developed and administered by the Virginia Foundation for Independent Colleges.

Graduation Fee. This charge is made in the senior year to cover costs of graduation expenses, diploma and engraving fees, caps and gowns, senior resumé packet, and transcripts. Payment is due in the semester in which a student becomes a candidate for a degree. If the student changes his or her target date for graduation after diplomas have been ordered, an additional fee is charged for the second diploma.

Course Audit Fee. A maximum of two full-term courses may be audited by any Emory & Henry College student or employee during a semester. Prior approval of the Registrar is required. Part-time students must pay a course audit fee. Full-time students must pay an audit fee if the usual credit hour value of the audited course, added to their registered for-credit course load, would total more than 17 ½ hours.

Independent Studies and Internships. Independent studies and internships are charged tuition at the same rate as other courses, regardless of location and circumstances. Payment is due before the beginning of the semester in which the work is shown as part of the student’s course load.
