Table 2: Tuition Costs per Credit Hour
Under the provisions of the Colorado Revised Statutes, 1973, 23-7-102, a person must have been domiciled with intent to stay in Colorado for one full calendar year prior to school enrollment to be entitled to the resident tuition rate. Establishment of residency requires the adoption of Colorado as a place of fixed and permanent habitation. It involves not only personal presence, but also concurrently the intent to make that residence the true and actual home. Applicants may be required to submit additional documentation substantiating a claim of resident eligibility for tuition purposes.
Any student who willfully gives false or misleading information about residency status for tuition classification purposes will be subject to retroactive assessment of nonresident tuition and disciplinary and/or legal action.
All tuition and fees are due and payable at the time of registration. (See Cost Sheet for complete program costs.) A letter of authorization from a public agency that accepts the responsibility to pay tuition and fees may be accepted in lieu of the cash payment. Registration is not complete until the student’s obligation is met in full. Exceptions to this policy may be made by the administration. No student will be allowed to register for current classes until all financial obligations from previous terms are cleared.
An instructional supply fee is charged for books, tools, and supplies provided by DMTC. Those books, tools, and supplies will not be released to students until they are paid in full. In some programs, students will be required to purchase additional tools, supplies, and equipment. Instructors will provide students with a list of any additional items that are required.
The following are additional fees that may be assessed:
· Application/Testing Fee (see Cost Sheet) – Non-refundable
· Insurance Fee (see Cost Sheet) – Non-refundable
· Program/Lab Fee (see Cost Sheet) – Non-refundable
· Books (see Cost Sheet)
· Activity/Graduation Fee (see Cost Sheet) – Non-refundable
· Refund Processing Fee (10% of Tuition, not to exceed $50) – Non-refundable
· Insurance for PN/Nursing Assistant (see Cost Sheet) – Non-refundable
· Pre-registration Fee for Nursing applied to tuition at time of registration ($50)
· Deferred Payment Fee ($20) – Non-refundable
· Official Transcript Fee ($5 per transcript) – Non-refundable (Allow 3-5 working days to process. Overnight or express requests will be an additional $15 fee.)
· Replacement Certificate Fee (within one year) ($10) – Non-refundable
· Copy of Certificate or Unofficial Transcript ($2)
A student who is considering withdrawal from DMTC is encouraged to discuss the situation with his/her instructor or the school counselor. Any student who withdraws from DMTC must obtain a withdrawal form from the Student Services office. The withdrawal form must be completed and submitted to the Student Services office to complete the withdrawal process. A student’s records will not be released until the withdrawal process is completed and all financial obligations are cleared. It is the student’s responsibility to keep DMTC informed of any changes in class schedule or enrollment.
When a student enrolls in a program or class, he/she reserves a place which cannot be made available to another student. To be eligible for a refund, a student must officially drop the program/class and apply for a refund prior to the date when 15% of the scheduled class time has occurred. The responsibility to apply for a refund rests entirely with the student.
When a registered student withdraws, the following will occur:
- No refund will be given for fees and other obligations not retrievable by the institution. Other non-retrievable fees are addressed in specific programs.
- A one hundred percent refund, less specified non-refundable fees (see Tuition and Fees section page 8) if the student withdraws before the class/program start date.
- A one hundred percent refund, less specified non-refundable fees (see Tuition and Fees section page 8) and a refund processing fee of 10 percent of tuition, not to exceed $50, if the student is enrolled in more than 15 credits and withdraws prior to 4:00 p.m. of the fifth school day of enrollment.
- A one hundred percent refund, less specified non-refundable fees (see Tuition and Fees section page 8) and a refund processing fee of 7.5 percent of tuition, not to exceed $50, if the student is enrolled in less than 15 credits and withdraws prior to 4:00 p.m. of the fifth school day of enrollment.
- No refund will be given once 15 percent or more of the scheduled time for the class has elapsed.
- A textbook refund may be given for textbooks returned in new, unmarked condition.
- Records will not be released until all financial obligations to DMTC are fulfilled.
When the class is canceled due to lack of enrollment or other cause, the school will notify the student and the student will receive a full refund.
Allow two to three weeks for all refund checks to be processed.
The following additional information applies to students receiving financial aid.
- If a student is due a refund, any portion of that refund paid by financial aid will be returned to DMTC’s financial aid account.
- A student who withdraws prior to the midpoint of the term, and who received financial aid proceeds for expenses can no longer consider the funds to be for educational purposes and must repay a portion of any cash received. That portion will be based on the withdrawal date.
- A student who withdraws after the midpoint of the term, and who received financial aid proceeds for expenses will not be required to repay any portion of the cash received, but may be terminated from aid at the end of term due to lack of satisfactory progress (see Financial Aid section page 10).
