Dear Student:

Listed below are the charges for tuition, room and board for the 2006 – 2007 school year.  If you are a returning student, please note that all debit balances must be paid in full before entering the Fall 2006 Semester.  Balances are based on pre-registered hours, and do not include additional fees, fines, or adjustments made to financial aid.  You may contact the Financial Aid Office to find out if you qualify for additional funding.  All financial obligations must be paid in full no later than August 1, 2006. 

TUITION & FEES

Fall and Spring 2006 – 2007

Charges do not include the cost of books, adjustments made to financial aid, or health insurance fees for International students.  Once you check into the dorm, all charges will remain on your account, even if you elect to move off-campus.  The room reservation fee ($200) is non-refundable and non-transferable.

To determine your Fall and/or Spring balance(s), please deduct your total financial aid amount from the total charges, which will give you the final balance.  Parent Loans (PLUS) or outside loans cannot be used to pay for registration, if the funds have not arrived at the University.  It is your responsibility to have all necessary financial aid documents completed prior to your arrival at Bethune-Cookman University; this includes PLUS Loans, Federal Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans, Pell Grant information, and outside scholarships.  Please note:  Classes will be dropped, if the balance is not paid.  

Payment methods include the following: 

·          Cash, cashier’s check, money order, or traveler’s check.  Personal checks are not accepted.  Payments should be made payable to Bethune-Cookman University, with the student’s name (first, middle initial, last) and social security number indicated.  Payments should be mailed to:  Bethune-Cookman University, 640 Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune Boulevard, Daytona Beach, Florida, 32114-3099, Attn:  Cashier’s Office.

·          Credit Card payments (American Express, Discover, Visa, or MasterCard) can be made online by accessing the Wildcat Web at www.cookman.edu.  You must know your Bethune-Cookman University identification number & pin number to access the site, or you may sign-on as a “Guest.”  You may also pay by phone; contact the Cashier’s Office at (386) 481-2290 or 2292.

Payment Plan Option:  Students who want to enroll in the payment plan must pay 50% of the balance to Bethune-Cookman University prior to applying for the payment plan.  The remaining balance is paid through The TuitionPay Plan from Sallie Mae.  The cost of books is not included in this payment plan.  Bethune-Cookman University has partnered with TuitionPay to bring you this interest-free payment option.  For further information or to enroll, please call TuitionPay at (800) 635-0120 to speak with a consultant, or you may review their website at www.TuitionPay.com.

Sincerely,
