Residency, Tuition Deposit, & Offer of Admission

Residency for Tuition Purposes

The Office of Admissions determines the initial residency classification for tuition purposes for each student, prior to enrollment.

Pre-Enrollment Tuition Deposit

To accept the offer of admission, New College requires a $200 tuition deposit by the deadline given in the letter of acceptance, unless an extension is approved by the Office of Admissions. If the deposit requirement poses a financial hardship, the student may ask for a form to request consideration for a deposit exemption.

Retaining an Offer of Admission

All offers of admission are conditional, pending receipt of final transcripts showing work comparable in quality to that upon which the offer was based, as well as honorable dismissal from the school. An offer of admission may be withdrawn or enrollment may be denied if any of the following apply:

  • Final official transcripts were not received by the Office of Admissions in a timely manner.
  • Final official transcript does not match records provided by the student on the Self-reported Student Academic Record.
  • Final official transcripts received did not document that the student successfully completed all courses previously reported by the student or school as planned or in progress.
  • The student’s GPA has fallen below an acceptable minimum for the State University System.
  • Final official test scores do not match test scores self-reported by the student.
  • New information has been received, regarding conduct of the student that may not be in the best interest of the community.
  • An individual whose admission application materials, residency affidavit, or supplemental document(s) contain false, fraudulent, or incomplete statements may be subject to disciplinary  action, which may include denial of admission, suspension of registration, invalidation of college credit, invalidation of degree, dismissal from the College, or other disciplinary action.
