Tuition, Fees, and Billing
Schedule of Fees and Expenses
The schedule of expenses shown below indicates actual charges and is subject to change. Fees are charged on a semester by semester basis.
The cost to the College of educating each student is well in excess of these fees. The balance is provided principally by gifts from alumni and friends and by income from endowments.
If you are a prospective student or family and would like to estimate your cost of attendance, you can do so using MyinTuition or the Net Price Calculator. These tools help you estimate your personal cost of an F&M education. Please carefully read the introductory and explanatory information provided with each calculator.

Tuition Refund Insurance
We believe it's important to offer an easy, affordable way to protect the investment your family has made in higher education. Franklin & Marshall has partnered with GradGuard to provide our families with tuition insurance. The deadline to sign up for this insurance is prior to the first day of classes.
This coverage expands the scope of the College's refund policy by ensuring reimbursement for tuition, room & board and other fees for covered withdrawals at any time during the semester. Plans also include Student Life Assistance, a 24-hour emergency hotline that offers students and parents even greater peace of mind.

Authorized User Access to Student Accounts
In order to make a payment toward tuition, you must have authorized user access to a student account. Authorized user access allows a student to specify who can view billing statements, make payments online and/or set up a payment plan.
Learn more about authorized user access
Failure to Pay
If a family does not make payment by the specified billing due date, does not adhere to a payment plan schedule, or does not cover the balance due on a payment plan by the due date, a late fee of $500 will be assessed, and a financial hold will be placed on the student's account. A financial hold restricts future registration, prevents the student from entering the housing lottery, prevents a graduating senior from receiving their diploma, and requests for official transcripts will be denied.
Student accounts that remain unsettled at the end of a semester will be deemed delinquent, and the student will be placed on a Leave of Absence for Financial Reasons. If this occurs, payment in full is expected before the student can enroll in a subsequent semester. Also, the student may not take courses at another institution for transfer credit.
Delinquent accounts may be referred to a collection agency for further collection action.
Any student whose College bill is unpaid is not eligible to receive a diploma. The College reserves the right to refuse to release official transcripts of a student’s records if bills are unpaid.
