Tuition and Fees

Tuition and fees for the academic year may be found at https://www.presentation.edu/tuition-aid .

Once a student has registered at Presentation College, the student's billing information can be viewed online through the Student Portal. The billing statement on the Student Portal will detail what costs will be incurred for that semester, along with any payments made and pending financial aid that will be applied to the balance. Any changes to students' schedules may generate a change in billing and financial aid. It is the students' responsibility to check their ledger periodically throughout the semester.

All students are required to sign a Disclosure Statement. The form is available online at https://www.presentation.edu/tuition-aid/student-accounts/payment-forms and must be submitted prior to beginning classes. Failure to complete this form will result in a HOLD being placed on the student’s account and will prevent future registration or release of transcripts. The Disclosure Statement contains the official explanation of the College's payment policies.

Students are expected to pay any balance due to the College prior to the 15 th of the month of the first day of term. If students add courses after the term balance due date, the resulting charges will be due on the following 15th. The balance due is calculated based on the term charges less payments made to date and less the pending financial aid shown on the statement. Any Student with a remaining balance after the first 15th of the term will be auto-enrolled in a Payment Plan.

Financial aid will be posted to students' accounts within three (3) days of receipt of the funds from the U.S. Department of Education. If a student's payments, including financial aid, exceed the charges shown on the statement, the student will have a credit balance and will be issued a refund within 14 days of the date financial aid funds are received by the College. Students are encouraged to complete a form (available at https://www.presentation.edu/tuition-aid/student-accounts , under “Helpful Forms”) for automatic deposit of their refund checks in order to receive the refund as quickly as possible. Refunds not made by automatic deposit will be mailed to the student's billing address on record.

Presentation College offers the benefit of a monthly payment plan. Payment amounts will vary based on the student's balance due calculated as described in the payment plan. Students must submit the payment plan form (refer to the Disclosure Agreement) prior to the first payment due date. Accounts with balances after the first 15th of the term will be auto enrolled in a Payment Plan.

Students with unpaid balances with the College will have a HOLD placed on their account. A HOLD means the College will not issue degrees, transcripts, employment placement credentials, financial aid, final grade reports, or statements of honorable dismissal. Students with business holds are also not permitted to register for subsequent terms.

Students who fail to pay any balance due at the specified time may be administratively withdrawn from the College. Delinquent accounts may be transferred to a collection agency; fees for this service will be added to students' accounts.

Students with unpaid balances who have not made payment arrangements with the College may have their Moodle access suspended . A suspension will remain on the student's account until the balance is paid in full or a payment plan has been agreed upon.

During the time in which Moodle access is suspended, faculty have the purview to uphold late work policies, as stated in course syllabi. Faculty are not required to provide special allowances to accommodate students during the period that Moodle access is suspended.

If payment in full or a payment plan is not completed within five days of the suspension, the student may be administratively withdrawn from courses. In the case of administrative withdrawal due to an unpaid account, a grade of “W” will be recorded on the student’s transcript.

An account with a BUS-Settlement Hold does not qualify for Payment Plans; the account holder must pay the entire balance on account by the first due date of the term.

Withdrawing from a course within the publicized add/drop refund period

Students who wish to withdraw from a registered course and receive a tuition/fees adjustment must initiate the necessary process with their academic advisor. In some cases, financial aid that has been awarded or disbursed to the student may require adjustment.

Withdrawing from a course after the publicized deadline for a refund

Students who wish to withdraw from a scheduled course after the publicized add/drop period must complete the necessary process with their academic advisor. In some cases, financial aid that has been awarded or disbursed to the student may require adjustment.

Withdrawal from College

Official withdrawals.

Students who wish to withdraw from the College must contact their academic advisor or the Registrar's Office.

When students officially withdraw from the College or stop attending all of their classes during the early weeks of the semester, they may be eligible to be assessed only a percentage of costs assessed for the semester; they may also be eligible to retain a percentage of their federal, state and institutional financial aid to assist them with the payment of their costs due to the College.

Students must officially withdraw by using the appropriate forms and completing the withdrawal process. When students complete the official withdrawal process, the date on which the withdrawal form is received is used to determine the percentage of tuition and other account charges the College will assess. Students who wish to withdraw from the College should contact their advisor or the Registrar’s Office and complete the official withdrawal process.

College Initiated Withdrawals

The College reserves the right to administratively withdraw a student for reasons such as non-payment, disciplinary, academic, or other extenuating circumstances.

Unofficial Withdrawals

When it is not possible for students to complete the official withdrawal process or they stop attending their classes without providing notice, the College will determine their withdrawal date once the College becomes aware that a student is no longer attending classes.

The Official withdrawal date will be determined in one of the following ways:

The date the student began the process or official notified the College of intent to withdraw; or
The midpoint of the semester for a student who leaves without notifying the College; or
The student’s last date of an academic related activity

Proration Dates

The FAO performs a calculation of return of Title IV funds that is separate from the College refund calculation. That policy is in the Financial Aid Office section of the College Catalog.

If an amount owed is still owed after the proration calculation, the payment must be received or repayment arrangements must be made within 30 days of notification of the withdrawal date or the student's account will be considered delinquent.
