General Deposit Fee
Students seeking a McMinnville or Portland Campus degree, as well as those admitted as special students by the Director of Admission, are required to pay a $400 general deposit fee at the time of a Linfield offer to admission. Of this general deposit fee, $300 is applied as a matriculation fee which is required for each new student registering for five credits or more. The remaining $100 is a general deposit refundable when a student graduates or withdraws from the college, provided the student’s account is paid in full. In addition, students who withdraw must properly file the withdrawal form provided by the Registrar/Registration Office. A student who has been enrolled one semester or longer and who graduates or decides not to continue enrollment must notify the Registrar 30 days before the beginning of the subsequent academic term in order to receive a refund of the $100 general deposit. Students who apply for re-admission after a withdrawal and whose $100 general deposit was refunded or forfeited must pay the deposit again prior to re-enrolling. New students must pay the $400 general deposit fee before May 1 and it will not be refunded after that date. Payment of the $400 general deposit/matriculation fee may be made through Visa or MasterCard by contacting the Office of Admission at 1-800-640-2287. To avoid forfeiture of the $400 general deposit fee, students should follow the dates listed on the college calendar.
Registration is an earnest commitment for the college and the student. Therefore, the general deposit fee is charged for any cancellation of registration or residence hall room reservation within 30 days of the beginning of classes.
During a leave of absence a student may fill out withdrawal paperwork without the penalty of forfeiting the general deposit, as long as the withdrawal forms are submitted 30 days prior to the next academic semester start. If a student fills out the paperwork for withdrawal after the leave of absence time frame has expired the student forfeits the general deposit.
January Term $190 Per Credit Hour Fee
Students enrolled in the optional January Term courses will be charged a $190 per credit hour fee.
January Term Tuition Prorate Fee
Tuition for January Term (JT) is imbedded in the fall and spring tuition rate. However, any student not enrolled full time in the contiguous fall and spring semesters will be charged a prorated tuition amount on the credits taken during JT. Fall graduating seniors who need the JT credit to complete their graduation requirements will not be charged the tuition fee for JT but must have been full time in fall.
The proration is based on the unpaid percentages of full time annual tuition. For example, if actual annual tuition is 75% of full time annual tuition, JT will be prorated at 25% of each JT credit hour for which the student enrolled at the per credit hour rate. The January Term $190 per-credit fee paid will be deducted from any January Term tuition prorate fee. This cannot be determined until after spring registration. Withdrawal during spring semester during the refund period will cause any JT tuition charges to be prorated.
Late Registration Fee: Division of Continuing Education
A late registration fee of $50 will be charged for any student who completes the registration process after the end of the first day
of classes. Registration is not complete until payment is made of all fees for an academic term.

candidates), charges for weekly half-hour applied lessons are
