2009-2010 Charges

Undergraduate Students, McMinnville and Portland Campuses

Fall/Spring Semester

Students who reduce their credit loads during fall or spring semester to below ten credits within 15 class days from the first day classes begin will be charged at the per-credit rate. After these dates, dropping a course will not reduce the charges for the course(s) dropped. Any student taking over 18 credits per semester will be charged $895 for each additional credit.

Full-time students matriculating on either campus may register for one course of up to four credit hours per semester on the other campus as part of their course load and retain their full-time status. No additional fee will be charged for cross registration. Scheduling and transportation are student responsibilities.

With the approval of their academic advisors, students enrolled full-time on the McMinnville or Portland Campuses may take a maximum of one course through the Adult Degree Program as part of their regular course load of 18 hours maximum during the fall and spring semesters at no additional tuition. This policy does not apply to January Term or Summer Term. McMinnville and Portland Campus students wishing to enroll in ADP courses during January and summer must register through the ADP Office and pay normal ADP tuition and fees.

Full-time McMinnville or Portland Campus students who take a DCE course during Summer Term or Winter Term must pay the DCE tuition rate for these courses. Students may only enroll in January Term coursework from a single campus: Portland, McMinnville, or DCE. Students choosing this option are exempt from the January Term per-credit fee, though the ASLC fee for January Term will be levied. Students who are members of the campus residential system must pay the appropriate January Term residential and board fees. Courses dropped after classes begin are governed by the DCE refund policy. No McMinnville or Portland Campus student is allowed to enroll in January Term for a first class at Linfield College.

McMinnville or Portland Campus students who are not full-time in fall and/or spring semesters must pay the January Term prorate fee for DCE Winter Term classes. McMinnville or Portland Campus students who are not full-time in fall semester and need a January Term class to graduate will be pro-rated at the McMinnville or Portland tuition rate.

With the exception of Summer Term and January Term, whenever a McMinnville or Portland campus student enrolls in a Division of Continuing Education class, tuition will be charged as follows: (1) If the total number of credits in fall or spring semester, including the DCE class, for which the student is registered is at least 10, but not more than 18, the student will be charged the residential tuition amount for that semester ($14,380), with no additional charge for the DCE class. (2) If the total number of credits for which the student is registered is less than 10 or more than 18, the student will be charged the per-credit rate that is applicable to McMinnville and Portland campus students ($895).

Registered Nurse (RN) students on the Legacy-Linfield cohort plan will be charged the DCE per credit rate for the particular year. Non-Legacy RN students will be charged the same DCE rate. All other RNs attending the regular day time courses will be charged the regular $895 per credit hour rate.

2010 January Term

*There will be no tuition for one class for up to five credit hours and, with permission of the instructor, a single one-credit paracurricular course, during the January Term for full-time students who attend and pay regular tuition both fall and spring semester. All other students will pay January Term tuition of $895 per credit.
