14 Tuition and Fees Friday. The College of New Jersey ID card is the official college identifi- cation for students and should be carried at all times. The card also serves as a library card for purposes of checking out books and record- ings. The card is non-transferable. Loss of the ID card should be reported immediately to http://cardservices.pages.tcnj.edu/ and/or to the Office of Student Accounts, 609.771.3146. A fee of $10 is charged for each replacement. Withdraw or Leave of Absence Refunds of Tuition and Fees A student must withdraw from all courses for the semester (or reduce his/her registered course load) by the last day of Add/Drop in order to be eligible for a refund. The computing of all refunds will be based upon the date of receipt shown on the written notice or Intent to Withdraw Form. Refunds are not based upon date of the last class attendance. A student who leaves school without officially withdrawing from the College forfeits all rights to a refund or to a reduction in his or her account. The College uses the following policy to determine the amount of refund: 1. A student withdrawing from the College on or before the official last day of Add/Drop shall receive a 100 percent refund of applicable tuition and fees* paid. 2. A student reducing his/her load in a manner that results in a decrease in billable tuition and applicable fees* on or before the last official day of Add/Drop shall receive a 100 percent refund of the reduced amount. Reductions in load after the last official day of Add/Drop will not result in 100 percent refunds. 3. A student withdrawing from the College after the official end of Add/Drop but before the end of the third week of classes in the fall and spring semesters shall receive a 75 percent refund of applicable tuition and fees* paid. 4. A student withdrawing from the College after the official end of Add/Drop but before the end of the fifth week of classes in the fall and spring semesters shall receive a 50 percent refund of applicable tuition and fees* paid. 5. A student withdrawing from the College after the fifth week of classes shall receive no refund. 6. Summer withdrawal policies are different. Please consult the College's Web site at http://summer.pages.tcnj.edu/faqs/course -withdrawal/. 7. Students receiving federal Title IV financial aid funds must contact the Office of Student Financial Assistance, Green Hall 101, prior to withdrawing. *Only General Services, Computing Access, Student Activity, Student Center, and Student Services fees. Refunds for Students Receiving Federal Title IV Funds Federal regulations require that a pro-rata portion of Title IV funds be returned to the funding source if students withdraw from the College. Students may, therefore, incur a liability to The College of New Jersey and should consult with the Office of Student Financial Assistance, Green Hall 101, prior to withdrawing. For additional information concerning the refund process at TCNJ, we invite you to visit our Web site at www.tcnj.edu/~recreg/ withdrawal/ index.html. Residency for Tuition Purposes Individuals who have been a resident within the state of New Jersey for a period of 12 months prior to enrollment in a public institution of higher education are presumed to be domiciled in this state for tuition purposes. Persons who have been residents within this state for less than 12 months prior to enrollment are presumed to be non-domiciliaries for tuition purposes. Persons whose residency status is challenged by TCNJ may demonstrate residency status according to the rules set forth by the New Jersey Commission on Higher Education. These guidelines are available in the Office of Records and Registration, Green Hall 112. Residence established solely for the purpose of attending TCNJ is not domicile for the purpose of achieving in-state residency. United States military personnel and their dependents who are living in New Jersey and are attending public institutions of higher education in New Jersey shall be regarded as residents of the state for the purpose of determining tuition. Financial Obligations to the College Students with unfulfilled obligations to the College (including tuition, fees, library materials, fines, or damage assessments) may be prevented from registering and/or from obtaining a transcript and diploma. Students with delinquent loans (federal, state, or college) may also have their transcripts and diploma withheld. Unfulfilled financial obligations with the College may allow for your account to be given to a collection agency at which all cost incurred will be the responsibility of the student. 218503_001-086_r5ri.indd 14 9/14/15 10:17 AM
