GENERAL FINANCIAL STIPULATIONS

Students must have settled all financial obligations to the College in order to receive grade reports, have a transcript issued, or be granted a diploma. Because of the uncertainty of economic conditions and changing prices of food and other costs, the College reserves the right to vary charges at any time, including during any session, without prior notice. The registration of a student signifies the assumption of definitive obligations between that student and the College. It is an agreement on the student’s part and that of his parents to fulfill the terms of the contract for the semester, and indicates acceptance of financial and general regulations of the current catalog.

Accounts for the semester are payable as specified in the schedule of payments and in full before completion of registration. The College may assess interest at the rate of 1.0% per month (an annual rate of 12%) on accounts unpaid according to these terms. Such interest will not be levied, however, on balances which will be settled during the semester by federal, state or college grants and loans.

Shorter College cannot assume responsibility for loss or damage of personal property on the campus. Ordinarily the insurance coverage of a parent automatically provides for this or can be extended for this purpose. No salespersons are permitted to canvass on the campus without prior written approval. Book salespersons must secure written approval from the Provost; all other salespersons must secure written approval from the Senior Vice President.
