<p>Knoxville College reserves the right to adjust charges as necessary to meet costs.</p>
<p>Commuting students and other students permitted to live off campus pay tuition and general fees and any special fees (see below) related to their course enrollments. To reserve their room, resident students are required to pay a non-refundable $50 room reservation fee, a $25 key deposit, and a $100 residence hall damage fee. </p>
<p>Charges to students are based on campus residency for an academic year. Adjustments to these charges are made for commuter students, married students, special students, and students entering or completing degree requirements at mid-year, enrolling for additional study, or registering for only one term. Students who begin a term as residents but who move off campus during the term are charged for room and board for the entire term. In making the initial payment of $50 the student and his/her parent or guardian acknowledge these terms and signify acceptance of these obligations.</p>
<p>No promise or contract that differs from these terms shall bind the College unless it has been approved by the President of Knoxville College. The College reserves the right to increase or reduce fees each year according to changing fiscal conditions.</p>

<p>Special Fees. Some courses which require extensive use of equipment and materials or which require the employment of special faculty for individualized instruction may carry additional fee assessments.
