Students must select one of the following payment methods:
Full payment enclosed (check, purchase order – no cash please)
Registration Fee $
Credit card payment will be made through secure online processing at
www.goucher.edu/webpay/ once a statement of account has been sent by the college
($150 per 3 credits)
I understand that the $150 registration fee for each 3-credit course is Non-Refundable. Further, I acknowledge that I am responsible for payment of all
registration fees and charges to personal accounts. These may include expenses incurred at the bookstore, the library, and all other facilities that extend
credit or charge student accounts. I also understand that if I do not complete the course or do not earn the necessary grade for reimbursement of tuition by my
school system (grade of C or better for BCPS; grade of B or better for AACPS), I will be responsible for paying the tuition directly to Goucher College. I agree to
reimburse the College for reasonable attorney fees and all other costs incurred in collection efforts, should charges not be paid when due.
Signature
Date
*If your name legally changes during the time that you are a student at Goucher College you are responsible for notifying the college and providing legal
documentation (for example a driver’s license, divorce decree, or S.S. card) as well as a written request to change your name. If this process is not followed and
we are not able to invoice the county for your tuition reimbursement because of a name discrepancy then you will be billed the full reimbursement amount and
will be required to seek reimbursement on your own after paying the tuition to Goucher.
Note: Registration is not valid without signatures and date. Goucher College is an equal opportunity institution that does not discriminate on the basis of orientation, color, age,
religion, national or ethnic origin, disability, or handicap in its personnel, admissions, educational policies, scholarship and loan programs and other programs.
