International students are billed at the domestic rate of tuition. By paying tuition by the posted due dates and having a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or better and being a Full Time student they qualify for a 20% deduction in tuition charges.
GPA is not determined for the following quarter at the time tuition is due, thus an agreement is signed in the Business Office at the time of payment. The agreement states in part the following:
On the tuition due date I can deduct 20% from my tuition charges with the agreement that if I do not meet the GPA requirements I will return during the first week of the new quarter and pay the remaining balance of my tuition.
If I fail to make my tuition payments on time, or if my check fails to clear the bank and is returned I understand that I lose the 20% credit. I will also accumulate late fees until check is made negotiable.
Failure to comply will result in having my registration canceled.
Tuition payments can be made by personal checks drawn on U.S. dollars, cashier’s checks drawn on U.S. dollars or wire transfers into college bank account. Transfer information is available from the Bursar.
Information on the estimated cost of required books and supplies appears in the sample student budget, available on the Cost of Program page as well as in the Life Chiropractic College West Student Catalog and Handbook.
