Educational Costs 2005-2006

 

Undergraduate Programs

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.

Payment of Fees

College of Arts and Sciences, College of Education, and College of Vocation and Ministry

Fees are due each semester as follows:

  • Fall Semester: Due on or before August 15
  • Spring Semester: Due on or before January 15

Registrations may be canceled at any time for nonpayment of fees. Late registrants must provide an acceptable payment arrangement before registering. Acceptable payment arrangements are as follows:

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

Payment Option #2
Enroll in a budgeted payment plan with a tuition payment company, such as Academic Management Services, Inc., or Tuition Management Services, Inc. More information about these services may be obtained from the student accounts office (651) 641-8205.

*A late fee of $25 is added to accounts monthly when payment is not received.

All Colleges

Registrations may be canceled for registrants who fail to comply with the payment option 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 grade reports, 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 Arts and Sciences, the College of Education, and the College of Vocation and Ministry who discontinue their studies during the first five (5) weeks of the semester may receive a refund of tuition, fees, room and board, according to the following schedule:

During the first week of classes 90%
During the second week of classes 80%
During the third week of classes 50%
During the fourth week of classes 33%
During the fifth week of classes 17%
After the fifth week of classes No Refund

Refunds for room and board charges are determined by the last date of occupancy based upon the above schedule. This date is determined by a combination of the date keys are returned, the date the student moved out of the residence hall, and the last day the student was on the meal plan. The refund dates for room and board are sometimes different than the date of discontinuance from the university. (See official procedures under "Withdrawal from the University" section of this catalog.)

Date of discontinuance is determined by filing a "Change of Status" form with the director of advising.

Courses and sessions that are not of the standard fifteen-week semester length have these standards applied proportionally.
