Undergraduate Enrollment Deposit

Special Undergraduate Course Fees
Some Adrian College courses such as Associate Teaching, applied music classes, studio art courses, and some other classes require the payment of a special course fee. These fees vary from class to class and cover special materials or services associated with those individual courses. Refer to the semester schedule books for course fee details. Students taking independent or individual studies (regular courses taught individually) are charged an additional fee.
Orientation Fees
All full-time first-year students must participate in Welcome Weekend. A fee is included in the Enrollment Deposit to cover Welcome Weekend costs.
Graduation Fee for Undergraduate Students
All graduating seniors are assessed a Graduation Fee, due the semester of their graduation date. The fee covers the cost of the student’s diploma and other costs associated with the College’s graduation activities. This fee is assessed to students regardless of Commencement Ceremony participation.
Advance Housing Deposit for Returning Students and Housing Damage Deposit
Returning students must pay an Advance Housing Deposit. Written notice of cancellation must be received by the Housing Office by May 31st to be eligible for refund.
Housing Damage Deposit
A deposit is required of all college housing residents to cover any recognized property damage to residential units. Damages may include those specifically identifiable to a resident (e.g., a broken window in a dorm room) or for damages to common areas shared by residents (e.g., hallway damage). Common area charges not identifiable to a specific resident will be divided by the number of residents in the residential unit and charged equally against each student's account. Please refer to the College’s Residential Life Damage and Vandalism policies in the Student Handbook.
Damage deposit funds will be held in a non-interest-bearing escrow account by Adrian College. The assessment of damages against these deposit funds will occur at the end of the academic year or his/her occupancy period, whichever comes first. Any student with a remaining balance of deposit funds after damages have been assessed will be refunded the balance up to the full deposit amount.
It is the hope of Adrian College that each residential student will actively participate in preserving and improving the quality of their campus living environment.
