Incidental Fees, Deposits and Miscellaneous Charges New Student Enrollment Deposit Important Steps in Applying for Funds Academic Requirements for Receiving Le Moyne or Federal Financial Aid Tuition and Fees1999-2000 ExpensesThe full cost of an education at Le Moyne College is not reflected in the tuition that is charged. The College receives substantial contributions from alumni, corporations, friends and the Jesuit community which help to offset educational expenses. Over the years, the College endowment fund has also helped to maintain the reasonable tuition charges that are assessed students. Incidental Fees, Deposits And Miscellaneous Charges
*All College fees are subject to change.
Transcripts will not be issued for anyone who has an outstanding balance due to the College.
New Student Enrollment Deposit If an accepted applicant decides to attend Le Moyne, a $300 enrollment deposit is required. This deposit is deducted from the first semester's tuition and room charges. Deposits are not refundable after May 1 if the student does not enroll.
A full-time student is any student who carries 12 semester hours of credit. Full-time students are entitled to carry 18 hours for the tuition rate as stated previously. Students who wish to take additional hours must have had a 3.25 average the previous semester or permission from the academic dean. Any student who carries in excess of 18 credit hours will be charged $329 per credit hour for such excess. However, for purposes of enrichment, students in the Integral Honors Program may take more than 18 credit hours. If such hours are used for early graduation, however, retroactive payment is required before a diploma is awarded. A part-time student is a student who carries fewer than 12 semester hours of credit. Such students pay a tuition fee of $329 per semester hour and all other fees to which they would be subject were they full-time students.
All fees are payable 15 days prior to the first day of class. Bills are mailed to students in advance of the due date. Students who wish to apply New York state scholarships and TAP awards toward the payment of tuition must enclose the award certificates when they mail their payment to the Bursar's Office. Students who do not have their award certificates may not apply New York state scholarships and TAP awards toward the payment of tuition. *All College fees are subject to change. Students who do not pay their tuition on or before the due date are not officially registered at the College and are not permitted to attend class until they pay their tuition. Moreover, they are subject to a late-registration fee as outlined under the Incidental Fees, Deposits and Miscellaneous Charges section and the payment of interest on the outstanding balance at an annual rate of 12 percent. Students whose checks are returned by the bank will also be subject to a late-payment fee as well as a returned check fee. Accounts date from the opening day of the semester. Students permitted to enter later than this date are charged for the full semester. Fees Payable At Bursar's Office Inquiries regarding financial matters or problems should be directed to the Bursar's Office. Students should pay their semester fees and obtain refunds from this office. The College offers the Academic Management Services monthly payment plan for people who want an alternative to paying at the beginning of each semester. Brochures are available in the Bursar's and Financial Aid offices. Refund PoliciesUndergraduate students who withdraw from the College for unusual circumstances, such as serious illness, are entitled to a refund of a percentage of their tuition. The date of withdrawal will be considered the date on which a written statement of withdrawal has been received by the registrar. The following tuition refund percentage will apply for all students other than those enrolled at Le Moyne for the first time and receiving federal aid: 100 percent during the second week, 60 percent during the third week, 40 percent during the fourth week, 20 percent during the fifth week and no return after five weeks. If a student fails to notify the registrar of withdrawal, no refund is made. Refund calculations are done automatically. No request is required from the student. Fees are not refundable. Students residing in residence halls who are dismissed from school during the semester are not entitled to any refund. Students in good standing who voluntarily withdraw from the College during the semester will receive a room and board refund prorated from the week of withdrawal. Because financial aid is supplemental to the family's primary responsibility of paying for the educational charges, any scheduled refund must be returned to the various financial aid accounts. For all students other than those enrolled at Le Moyne for the first time and receiving federal aid the refund will be applied using the following formula:
Students attending Le Moyne for the first time and receiving federal aid will receive a prorated refund for withdrawal through the ninth week of classes. Refunds will be returned to federal financial aid accounts in the following order: Federal Family Education Loan, Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Pell Grant, Federal SEOG. The remaining portion of the refund for all students is returned to the account of any state or other Le Moyne assistance that the student received. All students are responsible for any College debts they have incurred including library fees, parking fines, tuition charges and fees. A student will not receive his or her grade report at the end of a semester until all bills have been paid. At the end of the senior year, if a student has any outstanding debts, monetary penalties or fines, he or she will not be awarded a degree and will not receive any transcripts. A student may graduate after the outstanding debts and penalties have been paid. If a College debt must be referred to outside sources for collection, the student will be responsible for paying any additional collection costs (approximately 33%) including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements. Financial AidLe Moyne College considers it essential to provide assistance to students whose personal and family resources are inadequate to meet the full cost of education. The College has developed a program of scholarships, grants, loans and employment to supplement resources of needy, full-time students. Although some academic and athletic scholarship funds are not based on need, most funds are awarded based on demonstrated financial need. The following information provides a brief overview of aid available at Le Moyne. More detailed information is available at the Office of Financial Aid. Estimated expenses for the average student for the academic year will be as follows:
*Although students will not be billed by the College for these expenses, these figures provide a general guideline in determining expenses and are used to compute need for financial aid packages. Important Steps In Applying For Funds In order to apply for all the aid available through Le Moyne, an incoming student must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the Le Moyne College Freshman/Transfer Financial Aid Application. The FAFSA is available in any high-school guidance counselor's office and at the College's Office of Financial Aid. The FAFSA should be mailed to the processing center by February 1 since it may take from four to eight weeks to reach the College. The deadline for receipt of the forms at the College is March 1. The Le Moyne College Financial Aid Application will be provided to all accepted students. Once a student has been accepted by the College, his or her financial aid application is reviewed, and a decision on aid is sent to the student approximately four weeks prior to the deadline for the admission deposit, usually in the first week of April. If an incoming student is offered financial assistance based on need and plans to enroll at Le Moyne, then signed copies of all schedules, the student's federal tax return and the parents' tax return must be sent to the Office of Financial Aid at Le Moyne College by May 1. Returning students must file the NYS TAP Application, FAFSA and the Le Moyne Financial Aid Application. Students and/or parents must submit signed copies of their federal tax forms. All forms should be received by the Office of Financial Aid by April 15 each year. Therefore, the FAFSA should be sent to the processing center no later than March 15. Financial aid award letters for returning students are sent out in mid-June. Any type of financial aid administered by the College may be revoked in the event that a discrepancy between the applicant's statement of need and his or her current financial status is discovered. Leadership Scholarships These scholarships are awarded to outstanding high-school graduates and are renewed annually. Dean's Scholarships These scholarships are awarded to high school graduates with excellent academic records and are renewed annually provided the student maintains a 3.25 cumulative grade point average. Presidential Scholarship Program These competitive scholarships will be offered to students in each incoming freshman class based on a selection process that focuses on the student's academic and extracurricular record of leadership. Students who receive these scholarships typically have an A average, rank in the top decile of their high-school class and demonstrate significant leadership ability. The scholarship is renewed annually provided the student maintains a 3.25 cumulative grade-point average and good standing with the College. Ignatian Scholarship Program Endowed by the Jesuits at Le Moyne and individual donors, this program provides scholarships to students from Jesuit High Schools who are judged to meet the profile outlined above for Presidential Scholars and to be the most outstanding applicant from that school in a given year. The selection process and renewal criteria are the same as those for the Presidential Scholarship. Native American and Schlaerth Scholarships These two scholarships are designed to assist Native American students working toward their first bachelor degrees. Tribal membership documentation is required.

Federal Perkins Loan This loan is administered by the Office of Financial Aid. The current interest rate is 5 percent with repayment beginning six months after graduation or withdrawal from school. Federal Stafford Loan This loan is a federally subsidized and deferred-interest loan program. Interest for new borrowers is variable, based on a 91-day Treasury Bill plus 3.1 percent (capped at 8.25 percent) and does not begin to accrue until six months after the student ceases to be enrolled at least at the half-time level. The repayment period is usually 10 years. A three (3) percent loan origination/insurance fee will be deducted from the loan proceeds of an eligible applicant. The Federal Stafford Loan is often included in the financial aid package of a student receiving financial assistance. Application for the Stafford Loan will be mailed to the student's home address during the summer.

Students granted Federal College Work-Study or employment within a departmental budget will be contacted during the summer by the associate director of financial aid. Students must report to the Office of Financial Aid during the first week they are on campus to receive their specific job referrals.
