Full-Time Students

A full-time student is defined as a student who is registered for 12 or more hours of credit per semester. Students who take credit overloads in excess of 17 semester hours of academic credit must obtain the permission of the Dean of the College, and will be charged a tuition surcharge at the rate of $740 per credit hour.

Part-Time Status

Students are permitted to enroll for up to 11 credit hours on a part-time basis. The tuition is $740 per credit hour. A student who has been accepted into the Nursing program as a full-time student may not change to part-time status.

Students with part-time status who register for 12 credits or more will be considered to have given notice of change to full-time status and will be billed accordingly.

Enrollment/Continuation Deposit

New full-time, day division students are required to pay a $500.00 Enrollment/Continuation Deposit by May 1 for Fall admission or by December 15 for Spring admission. This one-time deposit serves several purposes. For new accepted students, the deposit initially reserves a place at the College. It is non-refundable if the student fails to matriculate.

Once the student has matriculated at Endicott College, this non-interest bearing deposit will be fully refunded (less any outstanding financial obligations) upon the student’s graduation or official notification of withdrawal. Official notification of withdrawal must be made by May 1st if not returning for the subsequent fall semester and December 1st if not returning for the subsequent spring semester. Students who participate in room selection or register for classes for the subsequent semester are not eligible for the deposit refund. Official notification of withdrawal can be by exit interview or in writing and sent to the Vice President for Student Development at Endicott College. Notification after those dates will cause the deposit to be forfeited. An appeal of the forfeiture of the deposit may be made in writing to the Vice President for Student Development. The deposit is also not refundable if the student participates in the room selection process and leaves residency without successfully completing the Change of Housing Status procedure as defined in the Endicott College Handbook for Students.

Application Fee

A $40 application fee is required at the time of application in order to process your application. This fee covers the expense involved in handling the applicant’s portfolio. It is not refundable, nor is it credited to tuition charges.

Student Health Insurance

Student health insurance coverage is mandatory in Massachusetts under the Universal Health Care Law. Endicott students must have accident/illness insurance coverage. The annual fee for this coverage for 2008-2009 is $1,025.00 and is included in your July invoice.

If a student already has comparable coverage with another insurance plan, the student may waive the insurance coverage through Endicott. A waiver form will be available on-line and instructions will included with the July invoice. The insurance may only be waived through the completion of the on-line waiver form at www.gallagherkosterweb.com.

International students may not waive the student accident and sickness insurance unless they are covered by an embassy sponsored program. A copy of this program must be sent with the waiver form.

Graduation Fee

This assessment covers a variety of student activities associated with Commencement, including: degree audit, preparation of diploma, cap and gown, yearbook, and graduation events and ceremonies.

Financial Obligation in Case of Withdrawal

Notice of Withdrawal forms may be secured from the Vice President for Student Development. These forms must be completed by the student and the Vice President for Student Development and returned to the Registrar of the College. The withdrawal date is established by the date of receipt by the Registrar of the written notice of the student’s intent to withdraw, or the vacating of the student’s room, whichever is later. Refunds will not be processed until the Notice of Withdrawal form is received by the Bursar.

Students who fail to attend classes during the semester will be officially withdrawn by the Registrar after three weeks of consecutive absence from classes. No refund of fees in this instance is made, barring exceptional circumstances as determined by the College. A student who is dismissed for disciplinary reasons is not entitled to a refund.
