Additional Financial Information
Student billing statements are mailed to the student at their permanent address. If a campus or alternate billing address is required, a form containing such information must be completed by the student in the Registrar’s Office. Students can view their account statement on Centrenet, under the Finance Info tab.
Interest will accrue at the rate of 1.5% on the last business day of each month on the unpaid balance. This does not apply to students who are participating in the monthly payment plan. A student's account must be paid in full before any monies are accepted for the next year's CentreTerm trip deposits.
A student cannot receive official certifications, including transcripts and grades, from the College if he/she is delinquent with any financial obligation to the College. Additionally, a student will not be permitted to participate in any pre-registration activities if there are unpaid balances owed to the College. If an unpaid balance remains after the student has graduated or withdrawn, the student will be responsible for all attorney fees and other reasonable collection costs and charges necessary for the collection of the unpaid balance.
Normally, the comprehensive fee is assessed for all regular, degree-candidate students, including students permitted by the Associate Dean and the Dean of Student Life to drop to part-time status. (See the “Classification of Students” section under “Academic Services and Policies” for restrictions on part-time enrollment). An appropriate part-time tuition rate is assessed for part-time students (fewer than 12 credit hours in the long term) only under the following circumstances:
- For special students (non-degree candidates);
- For regular, degree candidates enrolled for a ninth long term or longer following eight long terms of full-time enrollment; and
- For non-traditional, degree candidates who cannot enroll full-time due to family or work obligations. For the purpose of this policy, “non-traditional” is defined as students 24 years or older not living on campus or with parents/guardians.
NOTE: Part-time students are ineligible for, or face restrictions on, certain types of financial aid and loans, including Centre aid and awards. Students should consult the Financial Aid Office before enrolling part-time.
Enrollment of readmitted students and of students returning from a leave of absence is subject to clearance from the Finance Office to make certain that the student has no outstanding financial obligations to the College. In addition, the payment of a $300 non-refundable deposit is to be made to the Finance Office.
Cash, personal checks, Visa, MasterCard and American Express cards are accepted in the Bookstore, the Finance Office, and online through Centre ePayment. There is a $25 charge for all returned checks and a 2.75% fee when using a credit or debit card in the Finance Office and on Centre ePayment. Personal checks up to $100 may be cashed at the Finance Office by showing a current student ID card. The cashier’s window is open from 8:30am – Noon and from 1:00pm - 4:30pm, Monday - Friday.
An elective health insurance plan is available through an independent company. For more information visit the Parsons Student Health Center web-page. All international students are required to participate in Lewer Health insurance charged once each term.
Students are responsible for the individual or family insurance coverage of personal belongings and automobiles brought to the campus. Centre College will not assume any liability for accidental loss or damage incurred.
