* The following information is in the ÒStudent Financial Responsibility PacketÓ distributed once accepted into the school.
o STUDENT FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
o Whether you are returning for your second year in our program or just starting out in our program, the school recognizes the needs of the students for tuition.  LetÕs face it Ð these are tough times, but your education must be paramount.  
o Together with the administration of Peconic Bay Medical Center, the faculty and I have created a method for Tuition Payment Options.  It is my hope that it will fit your budget and eliminate your stress for payment.   Please choose the payment plan that works for you.  A contract will be generated and your signature is required. 

o Statement of Student Responsibility
o Your education is important, and represents a big investment of both time and money.  Please take the time to become familiar with the schoolÕs policies regarding your student financial account, and your responsibility under those policies.

o You Are the Student Ð the Pursuer of Education
o The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. ¤ 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records.  In accordance with this law, many student academic and financial records with the school are protected information and can be communicated ONLY to the student.
o All billing statements and notices are sent directly to the student, via mail or directly received in the classroom, even if another person may be paying the studentÕs bills.  The School may not discuss specific aspects of a studentÕs account without written authorization from the student.
o This means that it is important that you understand the school financial policies and communicate them to anyone who informally shares the responsibility of reviewing and/or paying your bill.  Each didactic year, you as the student, are required to acknowledge your acceptance of the Peconic Bay School of Radiologic Technology Financial Responsibility Policy.  


o Peconic Bay School of Radiologic Technology Financial Responsibility Policy
o All students, whether new, or current, are responsible for reviewing, understanding, and abiding by the SchoolÕs regulations, procedures, requirements, and deadlines as described in all School publications.  These publications include, the Student Handbook and Student Catalog.

o Students are also responsible for:
o Reviewing their bill for accuracy,
o Knowing the classes they are currently enrolled in,
o Paying billing statements in a timely fashion; and
o Understanding and following the correct procedures to withdraw from the school. 

o Charges, Payment of Tuition and Fees
o All tuition and fees (exclusive of the items listed below) are due at the beginning of each academic year.  Failure to pay the tuition amount in full, and/or enroll in an installment payment plan, can result in late payment fees of up to $50.00 a month being assessed to your balance.
o In the event the student cannot complete the academic requirements of the program AFTER the initial 30 days of the academic year, the student will become responsible for the full balance of the outstanding charges.
o Service/administrative fees are defined as administrative costs for costs incurred with processing and posting of transactions.  Each payment plan reflects the monthly service/administrative fee that correlates to the particular payment plan.
o The student can expect to incur additional costs for:
* Meals, lodging and transportation
* Uniforms
* New York State License Application
* American Registry of Radiologic Technologists Examination Fees
* CPR course
* Miscellaneous School Fees (field trips, holiday party, professional organizations)
o The Peconic Bay Program of Radiologic Technology reserves the right to suspend any student from class and clinic and withhold all student records, transcripts including license and diploma until all financial obligations to the school have been satisfied.
