Resident Tuition, Other Fees, and Non-resident Tuition Per Semester

The º£½ÇÉçÇø makes every effort to keep student costs to a minimum. Fees listed in published schedules or student accounts may need to be increased when public funding is inadequate. Therefore, º£½ÇÉçÇø must reserve the right, even after fees are initially charged or initial fee payments are made, to increase or modify any listed fees. All listed fees, other than mandatory systemwide fees, are subject to change without notice, until the date when instruction for a particular semester or quarter has begun. All º£½ÇÉçÇø listed fees should be regarded as estimates that are subject to change upon approval by the Board of Trustees, the Chancellor, or the Presidents, as appropriate. Changes in mandatory systemwide fees will be made in accordance with the requirements of the Working Families Student Fee Transparency and Accountability Act (Sections 66028 - 66028.6 of the Education Code).

Tuition Installment Payment Plan (TIPP)

º£½ÇÉçÇø Channel Islands Tuition Installment Payment Plan (TIPP) enables students, who are in good financial standing with CI, to pay for tuition in installments at no interest, with only a $33.00 non-refundable administrative fee (per semester) required. The TIPP contract can only be accessed and signed online through the student's account. This fee is non-refundable even if the student later receives financial aid, decides they do no longer want a TIPP, or class(es) are dropped or canceled for any reason. The TIPP payment plan applies to tuition charges and campus based fees. The TIPP contract and the first payment must be submitted to Student Business Services by the published due date. In addition to the first payment of tuition charges, the first TIPP payment must also include lab fees and other miscellaneous fees as these do not fall under TIPP guidelines. These fees will make the first TIPP payment higher than the remaining TIPP payments.

2^nd payment February 19, 2016

• A student may be dropped from the program for failure to submit the TIPP contract, first payment, lab fees and other miscellaneous fees by the published due date.
• A $25.00 fee will be assessed for late payments.
• A student who signs a TIPP and later is awarded financial aid must continue to make the TIPP payments until financial aid has been applied to the account. There will be no refund of the $33 TIPP fee after the TIPP contract is signed.
• If the obligations under the terms of the TIPP are not met, students will not be able to participate in this plan for future semesters.
• The plan is only available during the period for which charges are due. The TIPP is not available after a due date.

Procedures for withdrawal and eligibility requirements are available in the Enrollment Center or in the Schedule of Classes.

• The tuition and fees were collected in error.
• The course for which the tuition and other fees were collected was cancelled by the University.
• The University made a delayed decision that the student was not eligible to enroll in the term for which the tuition and other fees were collected, and that delayed decision was not due to incomplete or inaccurate information provided by the student.
• The student was activated for compulsory military service.

Prorated Refunds for Complete Withdrawals

Beginning with the first day of instruction for the term, refunds for complete withdrawals will be prorated based on the date of withdrawal and up to the 60 percent point of the term length for the academic period. Refunds are processed automatically. A student who officially withdraws after the 60 percent point in the academic period will not be entitled to a refund.

Refunds for Partial Withdrawals

A student who drops some, but not all, units resulting in a lower mandatory fee obligation by February 19^th, 2016, will be entitled to a refund of the applicable difference in fees. Refunds are processed automatically. A student who fails to drop classes that would result in a lower fee category by the deadline will not be entitled to a refund.

Note: Students are responsible for verifying their withdrawal from classes.
