Refund Policy

In effect since August 2006 (replaces any previous policy statements)

Deposits and Fees

All registration deposits and non-tuition fees are non-refundable.

Tuition Agreements and Payments

New Saint Andrews College depends in part on the student tuition payments made in a timely and orderly manner.  The College provides a tuition payment agreement to each student prior to the beginning of the school year so that both the College and its students can plan their budgets accordingly.  Tuition agreements distributed by the business office each spring must be returned by the posted deadline, accompanied by a $200 non-refundable deposit.  Because the College limits enrollment, students who fail to submit their tuition agreements and deposits by the posted deadline will lose their privilege to enroll the following year and the College may give their place in the student body to another eligible applicant.

Refund Policy

This policy applies only to courses offered Jerusalem, Nicea, Chalcedon, and Westminster terms.

Payment in Advance

All students who pay full- or part-time tuition for the year in advance are subject to the following refund rates and schedules, if they withdraw in accordance with the College’s rules governing withdrawals. Those students who pay full- or part-time tuition for the year in advance and officially withdraw before the last day of the Jerusalem Term in October may receive a 60 percent refund. Those who pay full- or part-time tuition for the year in advance and officially withdraw before the last day of the Nicea Term in December may receive a 40 percent tuition refund.

Those who withdraw after the last day of the Nicea Term are ineligible for a tuition refund. All registration deposits, including the fixed tuition rate deposit, and non-tuition fees are non-refundable.

All refunds to full-time students are calculated from the total tuition paid to date, less a $50 administrative charge for mid-year or mid-term withdrawals.

Payment via financing

All students who pay according to our financing option are subject to the following:

IIf at anytime a student finds it necessary to nullify or modify their tuition agreement made with the college, New Saint Andrews will retroactively (from the beginning of the current academic year) recalculate the total tuition owed based on our per class rates. This allows us to maintain the integrity of our rates to full-time students. This recalculation may result in additional fees payable to the College.

Payment per course

All auditors and students who pay tuition or fees based on our per course rates are subject to the following refund rates and schedules, if they drop or withdraw in accordance with the College’s rules governing drops and withdrawals.

Students who officially drop a course on or before Friday of week one in any given term may receive a 75 percent refund for that course, less the regular $5 drop fee.

Students who officially drop a course after week one, but before Friday of week two in any given term may receive a 50 percent refund for that course, less the regular $5 drop fee.

Students who officially withdraw after week two, but before Friday of week five in any given term may receive a 25 percent tuition refund for that course, less the regular $5 drop fee.

Students who withdraw after Friday of week five in any given term are ineligible for tuition refunds.

Part-time students who pay their tuition in advance are subject to the same refund policy as full-time students as explained above (see section I).

Auditors who officially drop a course within the first three days of the term may receive an 80 percent refund for that course, less the regular $5 drop fee.

Auditors who officially drop a course after the first three days of the term are ineligible for a refund.

All registration deposits, including the fixed tuition rate deposit, and non-tuition fees are non-refundable.
