Mail or deliver checks to Samuel Merritt College, Attn: Cashier's Office, 450-30th Street, Suite 2830, Oakland, CA 94609.
DUE DATES
Tuition is billed at least 30 days in advance of each semester and is due before the first day of class of each semester. Tuition and fees payments must be received on the due date at the close of the business day to be considered paid on time. Students who have been approved for financial aid should consult the Campus Service Center at 510-869-1550.
CREDITS ON STUDENT ACCOUNTS
With the exception of tuition deposits, credit balances will be disbursed to the student as soon as possible, but no later than 14 days after the first day of class or 14 days from the date the credit balance occurs.
NONPAYMENT OF TUITION AND FEES
In order to receive clearance from the Financial Services Office, the student must either have paid all amounts owed or present proof that the outstanding amounts will be covered by financial aid. Clearance from the Financial Services Office is required in order to register for each semester. Students who do not receive clearance from the Financial Services Office are not considered registered for classes. In addition to withholding transcripts from students who have outstanding financial obligations to the College, attorney's fees and other collection costs incurred by the College will be the responsibility of the student.
MASTER PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT (MPA), OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY (MOT), DOCTOR - PHYSICAL THERAPY (DPT), HAND THERAPY CERTIFICATE PROGRAM (HTP), ACCELERATED BACHELOR OF SCIENCE NURSING PROGRAM (ABSN)
Tuition for the MPA and the MOT programs are billed at the program rate, and amortized over six semesters in equal installments (with the exception of Doctor-Physical Therapy (DPT)). Tuition for the Doctor-Physical Therapy will be billed for seven semesters and internship fee in the eighth and ninth semesters. Tuition for the Hand Therapy Certificate Program and Accelerated Bachelor of Science Nursing Program are billed at the program rate, and amortized over three semesters in equal installments.
Students who withdraw or are dismissed from these programs for any reason will owe for current semester units and units completed in prior semesters at the current per unit rate. These programs are sequential in nature; therefore, re-admitted students will be charged and billed at the current per-unit rate for the remainder of their matriculation.
Students who are classified as part-time will be billed at the current per-unit rate for each semester.
Students who leave the program for any reason will be charged the current tuition rate upon return.
OverloadUndergraduate students in good academic standing may request to enroll in more than 17.5 units in any semester, with Registrar's approval. Students approved to enroll in more than 17.5 units are required to pay the current per unit cost for the total number of units that exceeds 17.5 units.
Course Repetition
In the event that a student repeats a course for any reason the student will be charged the tuition and fees in effect at the time the course is repeated.
Refund Policy
The student must complete a withdrawal form to request a refund. Withdrawal forms are available from the Registrar's office. The Registrar will inform Financial Services and Financial Aid once the withdrawal is approved. Refunds are based upon the schedules in the following section. Fees are generally non-refundable. The College must follow current federal regulations in effect for students who receive Title IV (federal) financial aid. Residence hall charges are refunded on a pro-rated basis.
Students may petition for an exception to the refund policy. Students who wish to file a petition must have a completed and signed withdrawal form on file in the Registrar's office before the petition will be considered. Petition forms are available in the Registrar's office.
REFUND OF FEDERAL AID (Title IV funds)
The financial aid a student may keep is determined by the percentage of the term completed in days. For example, if a student withdraws from all classes on the 20th day of attendance of an academic term with one hundred (100) days, twenty percent (20%) of financial aid is considered earned and eighty percent (80%) is refunded to the appropriate student financial aid agency. This applies until sixty percent (60%) of the term is earned. When more than sixty percent (60%) of a term is earned, no federal funds must be refunded.
Note: It is possible for a student to be responsible for one hundred percent (100%) of tuition charges but have "earned" only a portion of financial aid. For example, if a student withdraws after the 18th day of attendance in a term with 72 days and the withdrawal day is also the 5th week of class, no tuition refund is due the student; however, the student who earned only 25% of financial aid is responsible for a balance equal to 75% of tuition. Students should consult with the Financial Aid Office.
