Fees Associated with Registration Changes

All students should be preregistered by orientation/registration day and have all account holds cleared. (Please see the Registration Policies and Procedures section of this Catalog for additional registration information.)

Late Registration Fee: Students whose holds are not cleared or who choose to register on or after the first day of classes will be assessed a $50 late registration fee. This also applies to students not otherwise enrolled in Richmont who are registering for intensive classes on or after the first day of classes.
Late Payment Fee: Students who have not paid or made financial arrangements by the date posted in the Academic Calendar will be charged a $50 late payment fee.
Add/Drop/Withdrawal Fees: Through the first Thursday of the semester, classes may be dropped or added upon receipt of a completed add/drop/ withdrawal form by the Records Office. During the first week of the first half-term of a semester, this also applies. During the second half-term of a semester, only classes can be dropped during that first week (no classes can be added to a schedule). A $10 schedule change fee per transaction will be assessed.
After the first Thursday of the semester, the student must withdraw from the class in question using the add/drop/ withdrawal form. A $10 schedule change fee per transaction will be assessed. A student who withdraws from a weekly class will receive a refund according to the schedule published by the Business Office and included in the Academic Calendar. Online courses will be treated like weekly classes where refunds are concerned.
Intensive-format courses can be dropped until 4pm on the day before the class begins, using the same procedure outlined above for dropping and adding weekly classes. Students who drop an intensive class prior to the close of business on the day before the course begins will receive a full refund minus a $10 schedule change fee per transaction. After that time, no refunds will be given.
Leave of Absence: Students wanting to take a leave of absence are responsible for their outstanding financial obligations. Student refunds are based on the same refund schedule as individual course withdrawals.
Institutional Withdrawal: Students wishing to withdraw are responsible for all financial obligations to the institution and will receive refunds based on the same schedule for individual course withdrawals.
Institutional Withdrawal for Non-Attendance: Students who are administratively withdrawn for no1n-attendance are responsible for all financial obligations to the institution and will receive refunds based on the same schedule for individual course withdrawals.
