Financial Information

All financial obligations to the University must be discharged before a student can graduate and obtain a degree. A student will not be considered to have registered in the University until all tuition and fees have been paid in full or deferred in accordance with the deferred payment plan outlined at the end of this section.

Checks and money orders should be made payable to Case Western Reserve University and should show the name and social security number of the student for whom payment is made.

Registration in the fall or spring semester for more than 9 credit hours of dissertation research or more than a total 16 graduate credit hours requires special permission of the dean of Graduate Studies. Such permission is also necessary for summer session registration in excess of 6 graduate credit hours.

Dentistry

Students registered in the School of Dentistry will be charged $23,900 for the 1996-97 academic year, one-half of which is payable each semester. Dentistry students pay additional tuition for each summer clinic. For summer 1996, this amount is $1,450.

SPECIAL FEES-NOT REFUNDABLE

Application Fees

Required with all applications for admission. This fee is payable at the time of filing the application. It is not refundable and no portion will be applied to tuition.

The CWRU Medical Plan fee is automatically billed at the beginning of the fall semester and spring semester (Spring semester coverage extends through the summer) to all students registered for one or more credit hours. The CWRU Medical Plan provides coverage for medical care not available at the University Health Service. Students registered for one or more credit hours are eligible to use the University Health Service regardless of their participation with the CWRU Medical Plan. Students who have alternate medical insurance may waive the CWRU Medical Plan fee each semester by completing a waiver form which is available at the University Health Service (368-2450). The deadline date for returning the completed waiver form is stated on the top of the waiver form. Remember, this fee is billed twice a year; therefore, a waiver must be completed twice a year. Completed waivers may be returned to Student Accounts Receivable in Pardee Hall or to the University Health Service.

Late Registration Fee

Required of students who register after classes have begun: $25.

Transcript Fee

There is a $5.00 fee assessed for each transcript request.

All nursing undergraduates are charged a clinical practice fee in the fall semester of each year. For the 1996-97 academic year, the clinical practice fee is $200.

This fee for the doctorate includes the cost of microfilming the doctoral dissertation by University Microfilms, Ann Arbor, Michigan, which is a requirement for the degree.

In Absentia Fee

Paid by CWRU undergraduate degree candidates who are registered in an approved program at another institution: $500

Parking Fees

See "Campus Parking" in this Bulletin.

OTHER EXPENSES (ESTIMATED)

HOUSING AND MEALS (ON CAMPUS)

See "Office of Housing and Residence Life" in this Bulletin.

PERSONAL PROPERTY INSURANCE

Students are responsible for their personal property while on campus. The University assumes no responsibility for loss of or damage to a student's personal property, and the University insurance program does not cover such losses.

Many "homeowner policies" purchased by a student's family provide coverage for such perils as fire, water, and theft. If this coverage does not exist, the student may wish to consider the purchase of a separate policy.

REFUNDS

It is the policy of Case Western Reserve University that a refund from a scholarship, a grant, a loan or other assistance will be issued only after all charges payable to the University for an entire semester have been satisfied. If the gift assistance and loans for a semester exceed the student's charges for that semester, a refund will be issued during that semester. Since a refund cannot be processed until after the end of the late registration/drop/add period, there is a delay of approximately two weeks after the costs and aid are confirmed. Any student, who is anticipating a refund, should make provision to cover costs to be incurred prior to the issuance of the refund check. (Please note that any form of aid designated as Pending is not considered to be received until the pending designation is removed and the credit has been applied to the student's account.)

Complete Withdrawal

A student who completely withdraws from a fall or spring semester must pay a percentage of the tuition charge. The percentage charged is based on the number of weeks classes have been in session at the time of withdrawal.

WEEK AMOUNT
OF CLASS OF CHARGE

There is no tuition refund after the tenth week of classes.

A student who completely withdraws from a summer session must likewise pay a percentage of the tuition charge. The amount is based on the number of weeks classes have been in session at the time of withdrawal.

WEEK AMOUNT
OF CLASS OF CHARGE

There is no tuition refund after the fifth week of classes.

The University will refund any tuition paid for a semester by any student in good standing who is inducted into the armed forces before the end of that semester and who does not receive credit for the work completed during that semester.

Partial Withdrawal

A student who drops a course or courses after the normal drop/add period without completely withdrawing from the University is not entitled to a tuition refund for the course or courses dropped. This rule applies to both semesters and summer sessions. The Weatherhead School of Management, the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences, and the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing amend this policy slightly to allow for cases in which, because of unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances, the student must drop a course or courses but does not wish to withdraw completely. At the discretion of the dean, a partial tuition refund may be authorized, and Federal loan funds may be reduced to reflect the adjusted tuition cost.

Special fees are not refundable.

DEFERRED PAYMENTS

Students enrolled in fall and spring semesters for courses of semester length may arrange to pay bills for tuition and fees in two installments. At least half of the total bill must be paid at registration; the remainder must be paid by the end of the eighth week of class in each semester. Any remainder after the dates specified will be considered delinquent, with a late payment charge of 1-1/2 percent of the amount due and not paid per month.

Tuition and other fees for summer sessions are due and payable in full at registration. Any remainder after that date will be considered delinquent, with a late payment charge of 1-1/2 percent of the amount due and not paid per month.
