Tuition Payments

Tuition at Indian Hills Community College for the 2008-09 school year (August 2008 - August 2009) is:

$118 per credit hour for Iowa residents
$177 per credit hour for out-of-state students

A late registration fee is assessed to all returning students who have not registered and paid or made arrangements to pay prior to the first day of the term.

Tuition charges for non-credit courses offered through the Customized Learning Division are established on a cost basis and are published in quarterly course listings.

Other fees

Course fees may be assessed on the individual course level if applicable.

Payment Plan

The IHCC payment plan allows students to pay tuition, fees, and books in two installments over the first six weeks of the term. To be eligible to apply for the payment plan, a student must be:

paid in full on all IHCC account balances
not in default on any federal student financial assistance.

The student must indicate his or her consent to payment terms during the online registration process. Payment plan terms should be printed for future reference, if needed.

The payment plan provides for two equal installments to be paid at approximately four and six weeks into the term. Due dates will be specified on registration materials and on the IHCC Calendar on the web. These due dates must be met to avoid late payment charges ($10 per payment date). Payment in full must be made before the student will be allowed to enroll in a future term.

Interest and collection costs will be assessed to any unpaid accounts at the point they are turned over to a collection agency. The interest rate to be applied is established at the beginning of the applicable term.

Refunds

Students who formally withdraw from a class within the first eight class days of any 12-week term may receive a 100% refund of tuition and fees. Once that deadline has passed, no refund of tuition and fees will be granted.

A six-week summer term will be refunded proportionally - if a student withdraws during the first four class days, he or she will receive a 100% refund; no refund after the fourth day.

Completion of proper withdrawal papers and procedures ensures the student will not receive failing grades for all coursework during the term of withdrawal.
