Introduction
Pikeville College seeks to provide excellent instruction and pleasant
living conditions at a modest expense.
As a private institution of higher education, Pikeville College does
not receive a fixed amount of state or federal funding. Student tuition
covers approximately one‑third of the educational cost. Therefore, to
support its academic programs, the College accepts funds from
foundations, corporations, endowments, alumni, parents, and friends of
the College. Additionally, the College administers an extensive federal,
state, and institutional financial aid program.
Students may attend Pikeville College despite their financial
limitations. In order to do so, however, they are urged to seek
financial assistance early from the Office of Student Financial
Services. The following figures are for the 2004-2005 academic year.
These fees are subject to annual revision.

Official Registration
A student is not officially registered for
any class until he or she has made a satisfactory settlement with the Business
Office for tuition and fees, as well as room and board, if applicable.
Room And Board
Room rent is assessed at the
beginning of each semester. All students in college housing must furnish
sheets, pillows, blankets, pillow cases, and towels for themselves.
The meal plan covers the actual
number of weeks that classes are in session during the fall and spring
semesters. A meal plan is required of all resident students. The food
service is willing and able to accommodate students with special diets
prescribed by their doctors. Consequently, no exemption from the meal
plan will be granted unless the College and the student’s physician
agree that the food service is incapable of supplying a specific diet.
Applications for exemption from the meal plan are available at the
Office of Student Services, and should be returned two weeks prior to
the beginning of the semester. Commuter students may also purchase meals
in the dining hall.
Financial Responsibilities
All students are personally
responsible for payment of financial obligations. Students must,
therefore, be familiar with the following policies, since no exception
will be made.
An outstanding balance can be paid
in three installments by the 15th of the following months:
(Fall semester) September, October, and November; (Spring semester)
February, March, and April. A 1.5% service charge on the total unpaid
balance will automatically be added to the student’s account each month.
To avoid service charges, the full outstanding balance must be paid in
full with the first billing of each semester.
If an account is substantially in
arrears, a student may be refused permission to continue in classes.
Therefore, students are urged to report to the Business Office any
inability to comply with a billing or any perceived discrepancies in
their account.
Any student who does not have a
balance of zero at the end of each semester will not be permitted to
register for a new semester or summer term until that balance is paid.
Charges for parking tickets,
library fines, unauthorized use of phones, or other charges will
automatically be added to a student’s account and will become part of
what a student owes the College.
No transcript will be issued to a
student, nor will one be forwarded to another college, when there is an
unpaid balance.
A student will not be allowed to
participate in commencement or receive a diploma if an outstanding
balance exists.
Withdrawal Policy
All students who withdraw before a
semester is completed may be assessed an administrative fee, the lesser of $100
or 5% of total cost, plus any additional fees according to the refund policy as
outlined below. Any student who fails to go through proper procedures for
withdrawal, or delays official withdrawal, will also be held responsible for
charges in accordance with the refund policy.
Refund Policy/Return Of
Title IV Funds Policy
Tuition, room, and board are
refundable for students who withdraw from Pikeville
College during Fall and Spring semesters. Room and board charges are prorated
by the week based on the number of weeks in residence as established by
the residence hall check-out sheet completed by the residence hall
director or resident assistant. Tuition is refunded according to the
Return of Title IV Funds Policy established by the U.S. Department of
Education. Tuition, institutional, state, and federal (Title IV) funds
will be returned based on the number of days (percentage of period)
completed. This percentage will be applied to the total amount of Title
IV aid for which the student established eligibility (earned aid) before
withdrawing. The amount of earned aid will be subtracted from the amount
of aid which was (or could have been) disbursed and the remaining amount
will be returned to the respective sources.
There are no refunds
for individual classes dropped after the first week of classes.
The College reserves the right to
make changes in costs and fees when such changes are deemed necessary by
the Board of Trustees.
