Important Notice Concerning Billing
All tuition and fees listed in the college’s catalog/bulletin and in any registration material issued by the college are subject to change by action of The Board of Trustees at any time. In the event of any increase in the tuition or fees, payments already made will be treated as partial payment. Notification will be given of the additional amount due and the required date of payment.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their educational records. The FERPA Release Form allows students to authorize the school to selectively waive those rights.
