Degree program classes for summer 2013

Enrollment

Summer Intersession is offered as part of the regular academic curriculum. KCAI degree program students may enroll for no more than six credit hours. Enrollment for KCAI degree program students is done through web registration.

Waitlist

Students who have enrolled but not paid tuition could lose their spot in a class. Once the payment deadline has passed, all students who are unpaid in a course will be moved to waitlist status. Remaining space in the class is based on a first come, first served basis after the deadline, and those students who pay their tuition will get priority and confirm their seat.

Tuition

Tuition is $425 per credit hour. Students registering for studio courses are required to pay studio fees of $34 per credit hour as well as any additional materials fee for their specific studio. Students who wish to audit a class must register through the Continuing and Professional Studies office and pay tuition of $500 plus any materials fees. Tuition and fees for summer intersession classes are due in full in the business office by Friday, May 10, for the June session and Friday, June 21 for the July session. Your enrollment will be cancelled the day after this payment deadline if payment has not been received.

Financial aid

Students seeking financial aid for a summer session/study-abroad trip must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form at www.fafsa.gov and the KCAI Summer Financial Assistance Data Application form. Students are encouraged to look for outside scholarships, as only loans are available through financial aid.

Computer access

Computer access will be provided in the Jannes Library computer lab during summer intersession. Check the door for posted hours, or view library hours.

Tuition refunds

Course refunds are calculated based on the date a student officially withdraws in the registrar's office. Refunds requested by mail will be calculated based on the postmark date. Students withdrawing from courses will be charged a $35 administrative fee per course. The last day to withdraw from a course without grade penalty is Wednesday, June 12, for Session I and Wednesday, July 17, for Session II.

Refund schedule (based on official withdrawal procedures):

• 100% refund if withdrawn prior to the course beginning
• 90% refund if withdrawn prior to the second meeting of the class
• 50% refund if withdrawn prior to the third meeting of the class
• 25% refund if withdrawn prior to the fourth meeting of the class

There are no refunds for withdrawals from courses after the start of the fourth class session. If a course is canceled due to insufficient enrollment, 100% of all tuition and fees will be refunded within four weeks.

Last day to drop or add a class is Tuesday, June 4, for Session I and Tuesday, July 9, for Session II
