TUITION

Tuition is charged and payable semester by semester.  Fall 2012 tuition rate has been set at $4950.  The initial down payment of $150 is due within 7 days after acceptance into Dragon Rises College and returned with the signed enrollment agreement.  Enrolled students pay for the next semester during each designated registration period.  Any other financial arrangements will be approved by the Director on a case-by-case basis.  Student loans are disbursed during the first week of the semester, and financial aid students are allowed to pay tuition at that time, as long as they have been approved to receive loans during registration.

Tuition increases will be no more than 5%, and may increase only in the fall semester of each year.  Cost of books and other fees are not included in tuition. Students withdrawing from the program will be liable for the full cost of the last semester attended past the drop period. They will not be liable for the remainder of the program after withdrawal. No tuition adjustments will be made for transfer credit(s), but if transfer credits are granted, the student will not be required to take the classes.

FEES

All students pay a one-time Registration fee of $105 and a $15 Student ID fee the first time they register for courses. Every semester students pay for clinic malpractice insurance and a technology fee.  Each Fall all students also pay for SGA (student-controlled money to fund their projects), and HIPAA training. Other fees are listed in the catalog, and apply only to some situations, like auditing courses or making up tests.

BOOKS

Students may buy books from Dragon Rises College or elsewhere, and their first semester book list will be the most comprehensive. Books may average around $500 per semester, with the first semester higher and many semesters much lower.
