Aid
The cost of an education
from Belmont University is among the lowest to be found in any accredited
private senior university in the South and compares favorably with the
total expenses of other accredited colleges and universities. The low
costs have been made possible by substantial gifts to the operating fund
of Belmont received each year through the Cooperative Program of the Tennessee
Baptist Convention and from endowments and gifts by alumni and friends.
Therefore, the actual cost of educating a student at Belmont University
is considerably greater than the amount charged and all students attending
Belmont share in this savings. Belmont University reserves the right to
alter fees and tuition at the beginning of any semester of the academic
year if, in the judgment of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees,
such change is necessary.

Enrollment
Deposit
Upon approval to Belmont,
all new students are required to pay a $250 enrollment deposit to reserve
a place in the semester for which the student applied. Payment of the
enrollment deposit is necessary before any new student may register for
classes.
The enrollment deposit
will be credited to the student’s account and will be used to offset
the expenses accrued in the first semester of studies at Belmont. If the
student resides on campus, the housing deposit of $100 will be pulled
from the enrollment deposit.
Housing
Deposit
The housing deposit
is required by all students living in Belmont University housing. The
deposit is held in reserve and is only refundable when the resident completes
the check-out procedure with a Residence Life staff member. Only requests
made within 30 days of vacating the room will be honored. Should a new
student cancel a housing assignment prior to moving on campus, the deposit
is non-refundable. Additional cancellation charges may also apply.
When a new student
requests housing, $100 of the enrollment deposit will be set aside to
cover the housing deposit.
If a current student
needs campus housing, the deposit must accompany a Current Student Housing
Application which is available at Belmont Central or the Office of Residence
Life.
D.
Campus Housing
All residential students will be required to comply with a nine-month
contract. Room and Board charges will be placed on the student's account. |
