Student Activity Fees
The student activity fee will be charged each semester based upon the number of credit hours taken during the day at the Asheville campus.
Computer Use and Technology Fee
For Curriculum students, a computer use and technology fee will be charged each semester based upon the number of credit hours taken at the rate of $1 per credit hour to a maximum of $16.
Student Insurance
Certain risks are inherent in any work involving regular contact with mechanical and electrical equipment. While stringent precautions will be taken to ensure safety, it is felt to be in the interest of all students to provide some measure of insurance protection. A group policy, providing the desired insurance protection, will be maintained in effect by the College and all students will be REQUIRED to subscribe to such coverage.
Self-Supporting Classes
During the Summer term the college will offer some classes as self-supporting. There are no tuition waivers for self-supporting classes (e.g. senior citizens and high school students must pay tuition). Students who would otherwise qualify for a tuition waiver will be blocked from registering for these classes unless they agree to pay the required tuition. Summer 2009 Self-Supporting Class list.
