to delay arrival, the student must advise the
University Admissions Office prior to the first day
of orientation or forfeit the deposit. (See Refunds.)
health insurance:
All students taking courses for
academic credit on the CIU campus are required
to carry medical/hospitalization insurance. CIU
offers a group insurance plan (including an option
for family coverage) for any student needing to
purchase insurance. Students will be automatical-
ly charged for single coverage if proof of insur-
ance is not provided at the time of registration.
room advance:
A room advance deposit is
required of all students living in campus resi-
dences. For entering students this fee is to be
paid at the same time the enrollment deposit is
paid, within 21 days following the acceptance.
The room advance is held to reserve the student’s
space as long as the student continues living in
the campus residence halls and is refunded upon
the student’s departure from the campus resi-
dence halls.
room and Board:
The room and board fee
should be paid in full at the beginning of each
term. Any student living on campus is to partici-
pate in one of the meal plans offered. (Exceptions
are given only on request of a physician.) The 21-
meal plan includes all meals Monday through
Sunday. The 14-meal and 10-meal plans include
any 14 or 10 meals of the student's choice during
the one week period from Monday breakfast
through Sunday dinner.
Students who are renting rooms at the Pine View
Apartments may go to
http://ciu4me.com/pineviewfor additional infor-
mation and fees pertaining to that residence.
student activity fee:
The Student Activity Fee is
charged each Fall and Spring Semester to stu-
dents registered for six or more semester hours. It
provides funds needed for the Graduate Life
Council, Student Missions Connection, the African
American Student Association and other student
organizations. A portion of the fee is also distrib-
uted to various areas for the maintenance of stu-
dent services. Students who register for fewer
than six semester hours during Fall Semester but
who register for six or more hours during Spring
Semester, are charged the Fall Student Activity
Fee rate for Spring Semester.
transcripts:
A charge is made for each transcript.
tuition:
Tuition and fees cover approximately two-
thirds of the cost to operate CIU SSM, including
the costs of instruction, use of the G. Allen Fleece
Library, the Student Computing Center and facili-
ties provided for students not included in the cost
of room and board.
yearbook fee:
Students not charged a Student
Activity Fee may purchase a copy of the “Finial”
by paying the yearbook fee.
Payment Policies
Payments are due in full no later than the first day
of classes. Upon registration, students become
financially responsible for their charges for the
entire semester. Withdrawal does not relieve a
student of this obligation. A diploma or transcript
of academic record will not be issued to a student
who is financially obligated to CIU.
Veterans and others training under Chapters 30,
31, 34, and 35 of Title 38, United States Code,
must be prepared to pay all fees at the time of
registration, including (if an on-campus student)
room and board.
A student who has not made or arranged for full
payment prior to the last day of registration will be
disenrolled from all courses.
refunds
Some fees, including the registration fee, course
fees, and student activity fee are nonrefundable.
enrollment deposit:
Should an applicant decide
not to enter CIU SSM after paying the enrollment
deposit, they should notify the University
Admissions Office immediately.
room advance:
Should applicants decide not to
enter after paying the room advance, they should
notify the University Admissions Office immedi-
ately. Students deciding not to continue at CIU
SSM or to remain on campus must notify the
Student Life Office of their intent to leave. For
both students and applicants, refunds of the room
advances will be in keeping with the refund
schedule on page 62.
