*Voice primary students should expect, in most cases, to hire accompanists. They may choose to hire a college-approved accompanist at a standard fee of $525 per semester. The semester fee is not refundable in any part if a student discontinues voice study or decides to seek out another accompanist.

**Medical plans are marketed in spring, rates for the current year will be determined based on the plan marketing.

The fees and charges set forth herein are subject to adjustment at any time.

Questions regarding rates and fees should be directed to the Bursar's Office at 609-896-5020.

Eligibility for scholarships, loans, and housing may be jeopardized if a student registers for a part-time load.

Students receiving financial aid from federal government programs or agencies (for example the Veterans Administration, the Civil Service Commission or State Scholarship Commissions) must pursue a full-time course of study of 12 credits or more to meet the eligibility requirements for continued assistance. Most state programs have the same requirement.
