    Tuition & Fee Notes:
    • Audit Fee Per Credit
      • $175 with prior permission of instructor, a special, part-time, non-degree, non-resident student may audit courses, with the exception of courses in art studio, music performance lessons, physical education activity courses, and science courses with required laboratory.

    • Orientation Fee
      • $200, One time only.
    • Student Government (Activity) Fee
      • $350, One time only.
    • Technology Fee
      • $520 Annual fee for residential, commuter and online students. One time only.
    • Graduation Fee
      • All graduates (both bachelors and masters) are charged a graduation fee of $200 in the term in which they are scheduled to graduate. The fee is used to partially offset costs associated with Commencement, including the graduation robe, cap, and tassel, printing of diplomas and programs, speaker travel and accommodations, etc. One time only.
    • Student Accident Insurance
      • All full-time Randolph College students are covered by an Individual Student Accident Policy. This policy assures that if a student is injured during the academic year, there is up to a $5,000 accidental medical benefit in place. The mandatory plan is a nominal charge of $61 per semester charged to the student's tuition account. Since unforeseen illnesses and accidents do happen, Randolph College is working to facilitate a student's academic success by not having to worry about unforeseen medical bills due to lack of coverage.
    • Student Medical Costs
      • The services of the College nurse practitioner, nurses, and counselors, and the use of the Health and Counseling Center are provided to residential students without additional cost. Non-residential, full-time students are charged a mandatory, nonrefundable fee of $50 per semester for Health Center and Counseling Center services. Patients are expected to pay for medications, laboratory work and, if additional medical attention is desired, for such fees as those of the hospitals, urgent care centers, surgeons, special nurses, and/or consulting physicians.
    Other Financial Aid to Pay for College:
    • You may be eligible for additional financial aid from Federal, State, and Local sources. Military education benefits are not considered in determining eligibility for federal financial aid. Everyone is therefore encouraged to apply for federal financial aid by submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), because many will qualify for additional educational funds like Pell Grants, worth over $5,500/yr.
