INTEREST CHARGES
Albertson College charges interest at 1.5% per month on all unpaid balances (does not include accounts on monthly payment plan option) over 30 days. Albertson reserves the right to withhold transcript requests for students with unpaid student accounts.
Federal law prohibits release of academic or financial records, even to parents, without the student's consent for students over 18 years of age.
Refunds are calculated only when an official course withdrawal form is filed with the Registrar's Office. The official date of withdrawal is the last day the student attended class. The refund is determined from that date and is calculated per the Federal Refund Calculation guidelines. Refund rates are adjusted to accommodate the differing lengths of the two terms (i.e., fall term is 13 weeks in length and winter/spring term is 19 weeks in length). Federal aid is refunded (returned to the federal programs) in compliance with federal regulations. Institutional charges and institutional aid for the two terms are refundable for official withdrawals as follows:

To maintain a continuing student status, students must be continually enrolled. Up to two academic years (first and second term) may be omitted if a student files an official Leave of Absence form signed by the advisor, the Vice President for Academic Affairs, the Dean of Student Affairs, the Director of Student Financial Services and a Student Service Representative.
Credit/Non-credit $790.00
(Note: Area residents who are 25 or older may take a limited number of credits at $395.00 each. This reduced rate does not apply to independent study, internships, music lessons, practice teaching or other classes where individual attention is the primary means of instruction for part-time students over 25 years of age. Information is available in the Admission and Registrar’s Offices.)

The non-academic student petition process is the vehicle by which students may petition for reimbursement of fees, waiver of the freshman residency requirement, or to be released from the Residence Hall Agreement. The Student Affairs Committee on an "as needed" basis reviews non-academic student petitions. However, in some instances, the committee may defer judgment to the Dean of Student Affairs. Non-academic student petitions are available in the Office of Student Affairs.
Students submitting non-academic petitions are responsible for providing any and all documentation requested to evaluate the petition. No action will be taken on a petition until the student has provided all necessary documentation and/or authorized the release of information.
