Fixed Four Year Net Tuition Plan

The fixed net tuition component of the plan is offered as a budgeting tool to help
students and their families accurately prepare their educational budget by establishing
a tuition rate for four years and eliminating uncertainty about future tuition increases. 

 

Application of Fixed Tuition

In the event of any tuition rate increases, students in the Southeastern Promise will
become recipients of a scholarship that will credit the amount of the increase to
the student on the student’s fee-bill thereby maintaining a fixed net tuition rate.The
student is subject to a fee increase prior to eligibility verification in the first
year. 

 

Fixed Tuition Rate and Term

Students who do not meet the conditions for continued participation will pay the current
tuition and fee rates in effect at the time of ineligibility.  Ineligibility will
be determined at the end of each academic year. For any course enrollment after the
fixed tuition term expiration (the four year agreement), the student will be charged
the current tuition and fee rates in effect at the time of enrollment (exceptions
may apply).  To cancel participation in the Southeastern Promise, students must notify
the Office of the Registrar at least 30 days before the start of the next semester.

 

Tuition Rate Coverage

The guaranteed fixed net tuition rate includes all mandatory tuition and fees, including
non-resident fees, associated with enrollment with the exception of student self-assessed
fees and other variable fees such as the energy surcharge.  It does not cover any
other charges associated with attendance at the University such as, but not limited
to: course specific fees such as lab fees, room and board, textbooks, fines, transcript
fee, examination/testing fee, student identification card fee, parking permits, and
other voluntary fees.

This plan covers only tuition charges as defined, from time to time, by the University
and in no way limits the University’s rights in respect of matters, including University
charges, not covered hereby.  The benefits of this agreement are not assignable to
any other student, nor may they be utilized for any term beginning four academic years
from the first term of this plan. The student will make payments in accordance with
the University payment policy.

If the enrollment of the student is canceled for any reason (including withdrawal,
suspension, or expulsion), the amount of the refund shall be in accordance with the
general refund policy of the University. The University reserves the right to offset
any amounts refundable hereunder against any amounts owed by the student.
