Seven-week session students are charged no differently than semester students. Tuition is based on the number of credits taken in Session I and/or Session II and/or the full 15-week semester.
Tuition Deposit
For students who have been accepted, a tuition deposit of up to $300 must be paid within two weeks after receiving an acceptance letter and/or financial aid award letter. This deposit will be refunded provided the College receives written notice of cancellation at least 30 days prior to the start of the applicable semester. No refunds will be made to persons canceling during this 30-day period.
Tuition Payments
Tuition is payable in advance. Tuition may be paid in person, by mail, or online through Student Self-Service. The Student Accounts Department accepts payment by cash, check, wire transfer, MasterCard, Visa, American Express, Discover, PayPal, Google Pay, Venmo, and Klarna.
Billing for tuition and fees is done on a semester basis, although students who wish to do so may make one payment in full for the entire academic year.
Subsequent semester bill information is available to students online through Student Self-Service approximately six weeks prior to the start of each semester. It is the student’s responsibility to obtain and pay the semester bill on time. Students who fail to do so are charged a late registration fee.
The College reserves the right to make any changes in the schedule of hours or in the courses of study that may be desirable.
Professional Judgement (PJ) is the authority that the U.S. Department of Education gives to Financial Aid Administrators. All students who believe they have special or unusual circumstances are encouraged to contact Financial Aid for potential "Professional Judgement" determinations. Some conditions that can be considered for PJ:
- Adjustments to the Cost of Attendance based on Dependent Care, Disability or any other unusual expenses.
- Adjustments to student income when reported income no longer represents their current circumstances.
What Is Cost of Attendance?
Federal law mandates that all institutions of higher education create and document the cost of attendance (COA).
COA is the estimated amount it will cost a student to attend college and is comprised of an estimate of the following costs: tuition and fees, housing and food (or living expenses), books, supplies, transportation, loan fees, and miscellaneous expenses (including a reasonable amount for the documented cost of a personal computer). Allowance for childcare or other dependent care, costs related to a disability, and reasonable costs for eligible study-abroad programs is not included in the COA, but can be added based on “Professional Judgement.”* It is important to know that the direct costs (tuition and fees) are the only items a student will be charged while the COA is what we use to determine need and award packages.
Berkeley College calculates the COA to show the total cost for two semesters. The below COA charts can be difficult to understand, we recommend you read the following before reviewing them:
- COA is customized based on your chosen program, your dependency status and whether or not you are living with your parent(s)/legal guardians(s).
- Due to the removal of the housing option from the FAFSA, we are defaulting Dependent students to "living with their parent(s)" and Independent students to "not living with their parent(s)". This information will be on the award notice, giving the student the ability to tell the Financial Aid Office that they are living with their parent(s) or not.
- Housing and food are required elements to be added to the COA. They are part of the COA, however, does not mean that you will pay more for these items, just because you attend Berkeley College. These are expenses you and/or your parents/legal guardians likely already have.
- The College is also required to include the cost of a laptop in the COA. That does not mean, however, that we are providing you with a laptop, nor does it mean you have to purchase one if you already have a suitable computer. If you do not have a laptop and need access to a computer, the College will assist when possible.
- The College supplies are mostly eBooks that you pay for as part of your tuition. We include additional expenses for books and supplies for all applicable programs.
- The federal student loan origination fees are also a required COA element. The College does not assume, however, that you will borrow, nor how much, should you choose to borrow loans. If you do not borrow loans, you will not incur this cost.
- COA is used to determine need as part of the multiple levels of federal packaging methodology. It does not represent, however, the amount of aid that you can receive.
