catalog:

Tuition and Fees

An application fee of $50.00 is to be submitted with the Application for Admission. An

enrollment fee of $100.00 is due within ten (10) days after you have signed the Enrollment
Agreement. Students applying online must submit the application fee and enrollment fee
simultaneously. Tuition and fees for a new student are due on or before the student’s first day of
class if not incorporated in a financial plan. Continuing students must make arrangements for the
payment of tuition and fees prior to the student’s first day of class.

Tuition and fees for the 2010 through 2011 academic year are listed on the Enrollment
Agreement and on the following page. Books are included in the tuition cost. Please inquire at
the bookstore for details on bookstore policy and procedure guidelines. The student is
responsible for tuition and fees pertaining to the program’s required course of study. The tuition
and fees contained in the Enrollment Agreement and this Addendum are subject to change. The
per credit hour rate is subject to an increase at least once per calendar year which will increase
the total amount for the program. The adjustment to per credit hour rate may occur before the
student begins classes and the student’s program will be calculated using the new rate. Any
changes to tuition and fees will be published to students.

Students are responsible for payment of tuition and fees according to the schedule listed on the
enrollment agreement. Tuition and fees are charged quarterly. The student is never obligated for
any charges beyond the quarter in which the student is attending. Tuition and fees may increase
annually.

The tuition fees listed do not include the cost of remedial courses that may be required of some
students. The Catalog section entitled “Remedial Requirements” describes the criteria required
of entering students. If a student’s overall entrance evaluations, including scores on placement
tests, indicate the need for reading, writing, and/or mathematics remediation, the student will
enroll in the courses prior to the credit bearing writing and mathematics courses. Students not
meeting the placement requirements will be required to enroll in one or more of the following
noncredit remediation courses:

GE021 Transitional Writing for College Students

GE022 Transitional Reading for College Students
GE023 Transitional Mathematics for College Students

Remediation courses do not apply toward meeting the program’s degree requirements. They do,
however, count towards the student’s incremental completion rate and the maximum timeframe.

Statement of Intended Use for Catalog Addendum

The official catalog is intended to serve as the formal source of information for the student. In the interest of
working to continually improve and update service and support, however, the student should anticipate the
release of catalog addenda over the course of any given academic year. As noted in the Enrollment
Agreement, an electronic version of the catalog may be found at
www.artinstitutes.edu/newyork/pdf/catalog.pdf.

As addenda are released, printed copies of the latest will be included with any hard copy of each catalog
being distributed. In addition, all released catalog addendum (as well as brochures) are made available to
students in electronic form at http://www.artinstitutes.edu/newyork/Admissions/brochure_catalog.aspx.

Students are encouraged to monitor communications from the campus regarding the periodic release of
catalog addenda, and also to refer to these electronic sources for the latest catalog and related catalog updates
and brochures. As always, please see your counselor should you have any questions regarding this matter.
