Paying by the Credit, Student Loan Refunds and Academic Deadline Changes for 2010-11

Does the per credit tuition charge method apply to all students?
No, only Master’s level students will pay by the credit.

When does the change to paying by the credit take place?
Master’s level students will pay by the credit when they register for Summer 2010 term.

Will Thesis and Master’s Project continuation students still pay a continuation fee?
Yes.

Will there be changes in other policies and deadlines for all students when Master’s student pay by the credit?
Yes. Add and Drop policies and deadlines, as well as the SIS contract submission deadline will change.

The Summer term drop/add period ends after the first week of the term. Only SIS’s and internship/practica may be added or dropped up until the mid-point of the semester. Please see the academic calendar for specific dates.

In the Fall and Spring semesters, the drop/add deadline for weekly-meeting semester-long courses and all other courses that start before the mid-point of the semester will be the first two weeks of the term. Fall and Spring courses starting after the mid-point, SIS’s and internship/practica may be dropped and added until the mid-point of the term. Please see the academic calendar for specifics dates.

If I miss the drop deadline for a course, can I still withdraw from the class?
Yes – students can still email the Registrar’s Office and ask to withdraw from a class after the drop deadline has passed. We will then record a WD (withdrawal grade) on your transcript, which will prevent you from receiving a NC or (no credit) for the course. Please keep in mind, though, that for master’s students who pay by the credit, only courses dropped within the drop/add period are eligible for tuition refunds. Tuition charges for doctoral students, who pay by the term, are not affected by dropping and adding individual courses.

Will the actual registration process change?
No - registration and course selection instructions will continue to be posted; students will continue to register for credits based on their place in the program sequence; students will still submit their registration online and be able to provide payment online in myAntioch – all required by the Registration Deadline, posted in the Academic Calendar. Late Fees (Registration and Payment) still apply after the Registration Deadline. And, students still not registered by the 1st day of the semester will incur an increased Late Registration Fee of $100 – and an increased Late Payment Fee of $100 when tuition isn’t fully covered by financial aid.

Will I still receive an individualized Billing Statement as a financial guide for registration?
No – since the number of credits a student should be registering for varies so widely by program and semester of entry, there’s no standardized billing ahead of time possible. Students may see how many credits they’re expected to register for in course selection instructions when posted by the Regisrar’s Office at www.antiochne.edu/registrar/courses. The Student Accounts Office will post a general reminder to students about payment for registration as the registration perio nears.

How will I know what my tuition and fee costs are?
The 2010-11 credit rates are posted on the ANE website. Upon submission of a registration, tuition and fee costs will be billed to your account and available to you on myAntioch by clicking on either the Student Accout Summary or Pay On My Account links.

Will there be a change on financial holds?
No. Financial holds blocking a student’s ability to register will continue to be applied as follows:

if a student has a previous balance due prior to registration;
at the Registration Deadline if a student has registered but hasn’t paid the balance due NOT covered with an arranged financin option; or
at the Registration Deadline if a student hasn’t registered at all.

Once your balance is paid in full, the financial hold will be lifted and you may register, drop and add until the end of the drop / add period.

Can I just take a few credits at a time?
No - Academic programs are designed to be taken in a certain sequence of courses and completed in a specified number of terms. You should register for the courses listed in the course selection instructions posted before registration opens at www.antiochne.edu/registrar/courses.

How will student loan refunds be affected by the change to paying by the credit?
Student refunds for Master’s level students will be processed after the end of the drop/add period for the semester.

Will my financial aid award look different?
Yes, all students will initially be offered the maximum loan amount, and can reduce that amount after the add/drop deadline.
