Room Reservation Fee
In order to be considered for on-campus housing the student must have paid a $200 room reservation fee and have a clear student account. New students remit the fee to the Admissions Office. Once a student checks into the residence hall, all charges will remain on the account, even if the student chooses to move off-campus. The $200 fee is non-refundable and non-transferable. The fee is assessed each academic year that a student resides on campus. Payment of this fee does not guarantee a room will be available as rooms are assigned on a first come first served basis. Please refer to the Student Life Section of this Website regarding the assignment of on-campus housing.
Late Registration Fee
A $100 late registration fee will be charged to the account of any student who fails to complete registration by the end of each semester’s regular registration period.
Tuition and fees are subject to change at any time by action of the Board of Trustees of Bethune-Cookman University. A student should obtain a current schedule of fees from the Student Accounts Office.
