Program Policies
When a student accepts an offer to enroll in the ARC program from Charter Oak State College the student accepts full responsibility to pay all tuition, fees, and other associated costs.
Students can view and print a Statement of Activity through the MyCharterOak student portal. Billing statements are also available with historical activity. These statements should be used for any student submitting for reimbursement. No other statement can be provided.
Costs are divided into 3 main components summarized on our fees page.
Financial Aid is not available for ARC candidates.
Withdrawal & Refunds for ECE/ARC Program
Students are eligible for a 100% refund of any instructional semester costs paid if they drop prior to the start of the semester. Students withdrawn during a semester will still be financially responsible for semester charges. A student’s failure to attend class or receive a bill does not absolve the student of financial responsibility. If a student wishes to appeal charges on their account, he or she must appeal in writing, to the Provost, within 15 working days of the last day of the course.
Please review our Billing Polices prior to enrolling in the ARC program.
Additional Undergraduate Courses
If you need to take additional undergraduate credit courses to meet the requirements for certification, the cost would be $700 per three credit course. There would not be an additional application, semester, or tech fee. Regular credit course withdrawal and refund policies would apply.
