There is no additional charge for an overload. Full-time students must be enrolled in a minimum of 12 credit hours per semester. There is no refund for those students who are carrying at least 12 but fewer than the standard 15 credit hours.

Records Fee
Official transcripts of a student's entire academic record at 91¾«¼ò°æ are issued by the Office of the Registrar at the student's request. Students will be charged a one-time fee of $150 at the point of matriculation that will cover the cost of transcript requests for the life of the student. No additional per-copy fees will be charged unless the request requires special handling. 91¾«¼ò°æ reserves the right to withhold transcripts if an outstanding balance is owed the college.

Study-Abroad Fees
Students accepted to participate in an approved study abroad program for any semester of study will be charged tuition and fees at a rate equivalent to the regular 91¾«¼ò°æ tuition, Scribner Village apartment room rate and full board rate, unless the particular study abroad program does not provide meals as part of the regular program.

Special payment arrangements are made on a case-by-case basis and may be extended to families experiencing an unexpected medical or financial hardship or other extenuating circumstances. Any special arrangements must be agreed upon in writing between the Bursar's Office and the student at least one week before the payment is due.
