Tuition Payments:

All students are required to either pay for their semester in full or enter a payment plan for the entirety of their remaining balance prior to the start of the semester. Any student whose account has not been paid in full or set up a payment plan by the add/drop deadline each semester will not be permitted to enter/access classes and have their registration voided.

Undergraduate Drop/Add Adjustments:

Clear Creek maintains a policy for refund in such situations as:

  • The student fails to enter the course.
  • The student withdraws from the course.
  • The student can change their enrollment status by adding courses until the second week of on-campus classes. If hours are dropped below 12, Pell and Scholarships will be adjusted. Hours dropped between 12 and 15 hour will require no billing or financial aid adjustments.

Undergraduate Tuition Refunds

Refunds will be made in accordance with U. S. Regulation 34 CFR 668.22, and the Federal Student Financial Aid Handbook as follows:

  1. 100% – withdrawal on 1st day of class (less permitted fee of $100 or 5% of charges – whichever is less).
  2. After the first day of class, refunds will be calculated by dividing the number of days attended (first day of class through to withdrawal date including weekends) divided by the total number of days in the semester (including weekends but minus spring and fall breaks of more than five consecutive days). This percentage will be used to determine the amount of tuition the student will be responsible for while the remainder will be refunded to the students’ account. This process is the same used by the Department of Education to determine the amount of Pell the student has earned and what portion has to be returned by the university, and is provided by the Departments’ R2 T4 software.
    • If a student withdraws before the first day of class, no SFA funds may be used to pay any portion of costs, no matter what refund policy a school uses.
    • A school may exclude from the Institutional charges a reasonable administrative fee, not to exceed $100.00 or 5% of total charges, whichever is less. Also, a school may exclude documented costs to the school of any non-returnable equipment, or returnable equipment that was not returned in good condition within twenty days of withdrawal.
    • Withdrawal is not complete until student housing has been vacated and the student has received a copy of the completed withdrawal form. A forwarding address form must be completed and returned to the business office along with all mailbox keys.
  3. Day after 60% of enrollment – NO REFUND.

Security Deposit/Married Students

A security deposit of one month's rent must be paid by each resident planning to live in campus-owned housing and must be paid before keys are issued. Before a student moves in, a check-in inspection is conducted by a representative of the Physical Plant accompanied by each new tenant. A housing inspection checklist is reviewed and signed by both.

Security deposits are refunded after student moves if following guidelines are met:

  • Student graduates and premises are left in same condition as they were found.
  • Student moving before graduation gives a written notice of moving date, and premises are left in same condition as they were found.
  • All keys, including mailbox keys, have been turned in and a forwarding address form must be on file in the Business Office.
  • The student has a zero or credit balance on his or her account. If not, the security deposit is applied to the outstanding balance. If a married couple and both are students, both accounts must be paid in full.

Rent

Rent for family housing is charged each semester on the following basis: fall semester (July–December) and spring semester (January-June).

Vacating Student Housing

It is necessary for students who graduate to vacate student housing one month after the completion of their final semester.

A written request must be submitted to the Physical Plant office for family housing or Student Life office for single housing to stay beyond the deadline. Each submission will be answered in writing by the respective office. Students completing course requirements in December must vacate student housing by December 31st (Monday following graduation for single student housing).

Any student who moves before they graduate is required to give a 30-day written notice to the Physical Plant for family housing or to Student life for single housing. Failure to give written notice will result in forfeiture of the security deposit.

Refunds

Campus housing will be prorated based upon the policies found in the Student Handbook regarding family housing.

Single and Commuter Students Housing

Male full-time residents and male commuters are housed in Kelly Hall. Female full-time residents and female commuters are housed in Melzoni/Alumni Hall.

A security deposit of $100 for full-time students must be paid to the Student Life office before the keys are issued. The Student Life Director must be notified in writing by July 1st if the student plans not to return or forfeit their deposit.

See the Kelly Hall/Melzoni-Alumni Apartments Handbook or Student Handbook for more information. The Student Life Director reserves the right to consolidate empty living spaces or make reassignments when vacancies occur.

One Big Beautiful Bill Act

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, passed on July 4, 2025, brings many changes to federal student aid programs. Most of these changes are effective starting July 1, 2026 and will affect students for the 2026-27 school year. The Department of Education may also make further adjustments prior to July 1, 2026.

Pell Grant Eligibility Changes
The following Pell changes take effect beginning July 1, 2026:

  • Students meeting or exceeding their full Cost of Attendance with scholarship/waiver aid will not be eligible for any amount of Pell Grant. This is a change from previous regulations, which allowed students in some circumstances to be fully funded with scholarship aid and still received their Federal Pell Grant on top.
  • Students whose Student Aid Index (SAI) is at least two times the current Pell Grant maximum of $7,395 will not be eligible for the Pell Grant.

For the 2026–27 award year (July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027), the minimum Federal Pell Grant award is $740.
