Tuition
Students are charged the same rate for 12 to 18 semester credit hours. An additional fee will be charged for hours taken in excess of 18 hours per semester. Students who enroll for fewer than 12 semester hours will be charged at the less-than-full-time rate on a per-credit-hour basis. All accounts must be paid in full before a student will be allowed to register or reserve housing for the next semester. More detailed information about current tuition and fees is available in the Business Office.
Housing Charges
Housing charges for the next academic year are announced each spring. A list of all charges is available on the College’s website. Private rooms may be available upon request as space permits. For more information, contact the Office of Residence Life at (706) 379-5300 or by email at reslife@yhc.edu
Institutional Refund Policy
If a student withdraws from the College, refunds for tuition charges for each semester will be made according to the following schedule:
- Within the 1st week of class: 75% Adjustment
- Within the 2nd week of class: 25% Adjustment
- Within the 3rd week of class: 10% Adjustment
- After the 3rd week of class: No Adjustment
Meal charges are prorated on a weekly basis from the first scheduled class period until actual withdrawal. Withdrawals made any time during the week are prorated to the Monday following the week of withdrawal. Any portion of a week is charged as a full week. There are no refunds for temporary absences, labs, special fees, courses dropped after the drop/add period, or charges to any student suspended or expelled for disciplinary reasons. Refund of institutional aid is calculated on the same basis as tuition (stated above). In no case will institutional aid generate a refund greater than the amount of funds already received from the student. No refund for any deposit is given to a student dismissed for disciplinary reasons.
Withdrawal can affect student financial aid and create a balance due. Any student who receives federal financial aid, including grants and loans, will have a Return to Title IV Funds calculated to determine what portion of their aid can be kept within their package. Failure to pay any balance due for any semester will result in an administrative STOP being placed on the student’s account. Students with an administrative STOP on their account will be restricted from registering for classes in future semesters. Transcripts and diplomas will not be released until the account is paid in full. Uncollectible balances are subject to be turned over to a commercial collection agency and may be reported to a national credit bureau. All costs, expenses, and fees incurred by the College in collecting or attempting to collect a past due account are the responsibility of the student.
To resolve any past due accounts, please call the Business Office at (706) 379-5119.
Housing and Meal Plan Refund Policy
Refunds for meal charges are prorated to the Monday following the withdrawal date. In no case will institutional aid generate a refund greater than the amount of funds already received. No refund is given for housing. No refund for meal charges will be given to any student dismissed for disciplinary reasons.
Additional information and policies regarding tuition, fees, and payment plans as well as student financial aid, can be found in the College catalog, or by contacting the Business Office at (706) 379-5119, or the Financial Aid Office at (706) 379-5162 or by going online to yhc.edu/pay-for-college/financial-aid/.
