Deposits
The Enrollment Deposit described below is applied to a student’s account balance and does not represent additional fees.
A non-refundable Enrollment Deposit of $300 is payable by April 15 for returning students and May 1 for new students accepted before that date, or within 10 days for students who are accepted after that date. The Enrollment Deposit is credited toward the spring semester bill. Failure to deposit on or before the due date may result in the delay of a student’s financial aid award or jeopardize a campus housing assignment. A student may be administratively withdrawn if a deposit is not paid.
A returning student readmitted after May 1 or November 1, must pay an enrollment deposit within ten days of the reinstatement date. A student wishing to use all or part of a credit balance as an enrollment deposit for the following semester may do so by notifying the Office of Student Accounts in writing on or before the deposit due date.
A student who pays the enrollment deposit and is subsequently granted a leave of absence before August 1 is not entitled to a refund. The retained deposit is applied to the spring semester of the academic year in which the student returns. After August 1, the Dean of Faculty will grant a leave of absence only in cases of emergency and unforeseeable, personal, family or medical hardship. A student will be granted an official leave of absence after completing a change of status form and submitting the form to the Director of Academic Advising.
A student who pays the enrollment deposit and subsequently withdraws is entitled to a refund if the student notifies the Dean of Students on or before May 1. A student intending to officially withdraw is required to notify the Registrar’s Office and to arrange an exit interview with the Director of Academic Advising and the Associate Director of Financial Aid.
An additional non-refundable enrollment fee will be due when a student studies abroad. This fee shall not exceed $300.
Registration/Enrollment
College registration or enrollment and final course selection are essential processes for establishing status as a student at Marlboro College.
All new and returning students are expected to register at the College on the date specified in the academic calendar. Student enrollment takes place in the auditorium. The Associate Dean of Students Office issues room keys, photo IDs, and meal plan stickers. The Plant and Operations Office issues automobile registration. The Total Health Center will copy the student primary insurance information and issue a secondary insurance identification card.
On Registration/Enrollment Day or within 48 hours of arrival on campus, every student who brings a motor-propelled vehicle to College must register this vehicle with the Plant and Operations Office on the form provided. In addition, students must register any firearms by serial number with the Dean of Students Office as soon as the firearms are brought to the College.
Denial of Enrollment: The College reserves the right to deny enrollment to students who have not fulfilled their financial obligations to the College. Enrollment will also be denied to any international student without an appropriate student visa.
Students who have not satisfactorily enrolled by the final course registration date will not be allowed to attend courses, tutorials or other academic college related activities for the semester, or to earn credit for the semester.
Students are expected to consult with their academic advisors and formulate a plan of study within the first few days of the term. Complete course information must be listed on the Course Registration Form which must also be signed by the academic advisor. The form is filed with the Registrar no later than the published date for final course registration at the beginning of each semester. Certification as a student at Marlboro College occurs only after a Course Registration Form has been filed.
