For student-teaching, social work and internships being done off-campus during fall or spring semesters under faculty supervision, students will be charged as half-year commuter students. If a student wishes room and board on campus while performing an internship off campus, student is charged as a boarding student.
Clinical Lab Science Program, Clinical Year
Students taking their Clinical Lab work with an MBU affiliate CLS program as part of the major will be billed 1/2 price of the current per semester hour rate. MBU will not be involved in any payment to AH for applicable fees. Any refund available will be given to the student who will be responsible for payment to AH. The cost of AH fees may be included in the student’s cost of attendance for aid purposes. Mary Baldwin aid will not be awarded to students who are not being charged the comprehensive fee.
Monthly Payment Plan
Fees that are normally due in one large lump sum at the beginning of each semester may be paid in four equal monthly installments each semester. There are no interest or finance charges — only an administration fee of $30 per semester. For additional information, please email StudentAccounts@marybaldwin.edu.
Half-Price Tuition Plan
Students who have completed eight semesters of full-time work in classes on the MBU campus may enroll in additional classes for half of the usual applicable tuition charge if approved by the registrar. Students must be eligible for readmission to MBU. They may live off campus. On-campus housing is subject to availability and will be charged at full price. To take advantage of the half-price tuition, no more than 12 months may have elapsed since the date of last enrollment. Graduate and summer courses are not available at half-price. MBU will help the student get external grants and loans, but no institutional aid will be available to students under this plan.
