- Student Activity Fee: The Student Activity Fee is a mandatory fee that all enrolled students pay which allows them access to various in-person and online activities throughout the semester. Students who have chosen to study remotely still have the option to participate in online student activities. In addition, this fee helps cover the cost of Career Services resources that are available to all students throughout their entire career
- Technology Fee: The Technology Fee is used to provide students with the necessary system access required to gain entry (both internally and while off campus) into various Ringling College software systems. It also pays for resources like the Helpdesk and the Information Technology Support team. This fee also contributes to the cost of hosting system access 24/7 on numerous servers so students can gain entrance into critical systems at any time

Ringling College of Art and Design will defer the payment of the balance due for the semester by the following:
- Financial Aid: Anticipated aid will be deferred for those students with a Financial Aid Notification Letter. If the anticipated financial aid is reduced or cancelled the student is responsible for the balance due. The Office of Financial Aid may be contacted at finaid@ringling.edu.
- Full Service Payment Plan, administered by Transact/Cashnet: The Full Service Payment Plan provides you the ability to finance the balance due for the semester, interest free and beginning July 1, 2024. Only tuition, fees, room and required board charges may be included in the Full Service Payment Plan contract. For more information, visit Transact FSPP- Ringling.
Refund Policy
Students who are admitted and register for classes at Ringling College of Art and Design are financially responsible for fees and charges associated with those classes. Students who officially withdraw from all courses during the first eight weeks of a semester will receive tuition, technology fee, and board refund in accordance with the following schedule:
| Withdrawal before the end of: | Tuition/Technology Fee | Housing | Board |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10th Day of Semester | 90% | None | 50% |
| 26th Day of Semester | 50% | None | None |
| 57th Day of Semester | 25% | None | None |
| 58th Day of Semester, or Thereafter | None | None | None |
In accordance with
Title IV Federal Financial Aid
Students who receive funds from the Federal Pell Grant, Federal SEOG, Federal Stafford Loan or Federal PLUS Loan and withdrew from the College are subject to the Return of Title IV Funds regulations.
Students with funds from any of these programs “earn” their financial aid dollars while enrolled. If a student withdraws prior to completing 60% of a semester, a prorated portion of the federal financial aid dollars must be considered “unearned” and returned to the federal programs. Unearned financial aid dollars which have to be returned to the federal aid programs could cause students to owe the College a significant amount upon withdrawal.
In addition to the amount of federal aid the Ringling College of Art and Design must return, students who received financial aid for other educational costs, including off-campus living expenses, may be required to repay a portion of those funds to the federal programs. Failure to return aid due back to the federal aid programs will result in loss of eligibility for federal financial assistance.
Past Due Indebtedness
Students are expected to keep their accounts current. Any student with past due indebtedness is not allowed to participate in pre-registration, room lottery, registration, enroll for any subsequent semester, obtain an official transcript or a diploma. The College reserves the right to cancel the enrollment of a student with past indebtedness; the cancellation of enrollment, however, does not relieve the student of the incurred debt.
In the event an account becomes delinquent, the College reserves the right to assign the account to the credit bureau and/or a collection agency, at which time the student may be responsible for all associated collection fees, costs, and expenses incurred in such collection efforts.
