College of Graduate and Continuing Studies
Educational Costs 2005-2006

Public and private universities are immeasurably different, particularly in how they are funded. One major difference is that private schools rely on their own financial resources. The State of Minnesota provides no operating tax dollars for operating Concordia University. Tuition and fees make up a great deal of operating budget for Concordia University. (Additional funding is provided by the generosity of donors and gifts supplied by friends of the university.) As a result, every effort is being made to maintain the moderate cost of attending Concordia University. However, unexpected rising costs may necessitate a change in fees at the beginning of any semester.

Once a student enrolls in a cohort, tuition will not change for that student as long as the student is continuously enrolled in that cohort.

Payment of Fees

Fees are due each semester as follows:

Payment Option #1

Payment in full by the due date(s) listed below. A late fee of 1% is added to outstanding balances at the end of each month.

• Term One is due on the third class night.
• Subsequent terms are due on or before the first class night of each term.

Payment Option #2

The student uses the tuition reimbursement plan offered by his or her company. A Concordia Tuition Reimbursement Agreement must be completed in order to use this option.

Note: The tuition reimbursement plan is not eligible if the employer requires the student to pay for courses and submit receipt of payment in order to receive reimbursement.

Payment Option #3

Academic Management Services (AMS) offers a monthly payment plan spreading tuition payments, interest-free, over the duration of a student's coursework. A non-refundable enrollment fee of $65 is due at the time of enrollment, along with the first month's payment.

Registrations may be canceled for registrants who fail to comply with the payment options they select.

Note: A late fee of $25 per month is added to outstanding balances of non-enrolled students. Students are responsible for payment of all costs assessed for the collection of their accounts. This includes interest charges, collection fees, and attorney's fees.

Only those students with bills paid in full receive transcripts of credits, and diplomas.

Financial aid is not considered part of the payment until the aid award is granted and transmitted onto the bill. This takes place when the student has completed all the necessary paperwork for receiving financial aid.

All fees must be paid in full before next semester's registration or you will not be allowed to register.

Refunds

Students in the College of Graduate and Continuing Studies who discontinue their studies by the end of the second class of Term One may receive a refund, minus the $250 tuition deposit. A student's failure to notify the CGCS office that he or she will not be attending two weeks prior to the beginning of Term One will result in the forfeiture of the $250 tuition deposit.

Date of discontinuance is determined by filing a Change of Status form with the student's academic advisor. A charge of $75 will be assessed for Change of Status forms exceeding two changes of status per student during their entire course of study at Concordia University.
