Payment Information and Policies Due Dates for the 2008-09 Academic Year Specific Purpose Endowed Scholarships Billy Graham Center Scholarship Program
The expenses at Wheaton are moderate and are kept so by the generous gifts and grants from individuals and foundations and by the income from its endowment. Students pay for about seventy percent of the cost of their education; substantial sums are raised annually by the College to cover the difference between what the student pays and the cost of operation. The tuition rate includes most miscellaneous items for which separate charges are usually made, such as library, student center, health services, and various student activities. Some limitations apply to part-time students. Substantial student aid funds are available for many students from College, government, and self-help sources. No student should fail to apply to Wheaton for financial reasons.
*Health insurance for a student’s spouse is available at a cost of $4,056 per year, and health insurance is available for a student’s child or children at a cost of $2,044 per year. Service charges are nonrefundable. Course fees for officially dropped courses are refunded as follows: 100% the first week of the semester; 90% the second week; and none thereafter unless approved by the department.
*Health insurance for a student’s spouse is available at a cost of $4,056 per year, and health insurance is available for a student’s child or children at a cost of $2,044 per year. Graduate students taking undergraduate courses must pay course fees as listed in the undergraduate costs section.
All bills are to be paid at the beginning of each semester and received by the established due date shown on each invoice and in the college calendar. If no invoice has been received two weeks prior to the start of the semester, one should be requested from the Student Accounts Office. An unpaid account may result in the cancellation of the student's enrollment and will be assessed a $75 late penalty plus a 1˝% charge per month on the unpaid balance. Semester bills are sent to the student’s permanent mailing address. Monthly account statements default to the student’s CPO box, unless an alternative address has been requested by the student. It is recommended that payments be mailed at least five days before the due date shown on the invoice. All payments should be made in U.S. funds. Late payments and replacement of returned checks may be required to be made in certified funds. The admissions deposit will be applied to the student's account upon enrollment. Wheaton College offers payment plans for students who wish to finance the cost of education throughout the school year. Visit the Student Accounts website at: www.wheaton.edu/studentaccounts or contact the Student Accounts Office for more information. Students with unpaid accounts are not permitted to re-enroll or receive diplomas and transcripts. These accounts will be subject to credit bureau reporting 60 days after enrollment ceases. Past due balances may be turned over to a collection agency. Accounts that are assigned will be responsible for principal, interest, late charges, and collection costs. Legal action may also be taken to collect these balances. Student accounts with credit balances under $25 are nonrefundable if not claimed in three months after the last semester enrolled. All other credit balances will be returned by check to the last known billing address if not claimed in three months after last semester enrolled.
Payment will be due on the first Wednesday of each term. Based on the approved calendar these dates are: Fall Semester — Wednesday, August 27, 2008 Spring Semester — Wednesday, January 14, 2009 Summer Semester — Wednesday, May 20, 2009 Payment in full is required at least two weeks prior to leaving for overseas programs.
