Fees Applying to any Linfield University Students

AUDIT FEE

Audit fees are non-refundable. In addition to the per credit fee for auditing, all students must pay any course fees applicable to audited classes or other University required fees. Audit fees vary depending on the program you are in but are typically half of what the per credit hour fee is. There will be no audit fee for senior citizens (at least age 65), but senior citizens must pay applicable course fees and must contact the Registrar's Office to be coded as a senior citizen student for the fee to be waived on their billing. There is no discount for senior citizens seeking academic credit for courses.

CHARGES AND LATE FEES

Finance charges and/or late fees will be levied on student accounts including but not necessarily limited to the following:

  • A $100 late clearing fee will be applied to a student account for any student who has not paid by the posted semester due dates.
  • A 1% per month finance charge may be applied to a student account balance owing a past due balance. 
  • A $30 returned check charge will be levied for all returned checks.

UNIVERSITY ID CARDS

Students are issued their initial ID card free of charge. Replacement ID cards may be obtained from the Linfield Public Safety office. The first replacement card is provided at no charge, however additional ID cards will be replaced for $25.

CREDIT BY EXAMINATION FEE

Any student may challenge for credit an existing Linfield course for a non-refundable flat fee of $785. This fee covers administrative costs and the preparation and evaluation of special examinations.

GRADUATION FEE

Students will be charged a $195 graduation fee. The fee will be charged to the student account for the semester or term the student intends to graduate and/or participate in Commencement. Graduation fees cover all aspects of the graduation and the degree conferral process and are required regardless of participation in the Commencement ceremony.

LATE SCHEDULE CHANGE FEES

Changes to a student schedule (adds/drops/withdrawals) after published deadlines, if approved by Petition for Exception to Policy, will be charged $50 per course for changes made in the same term and $100 per course for changes made after the last day of the term.

TRANSCRIPT FEE

The transcript fee is $10 for each official transcript request. 

VARIOUS COURSE RELATED FEES

Students enrolled in certain courses may be charged a course, lab or studio fee for supplies. Other fees apply where appropriate.

CAMPUS PARKING FEES

All students must register all vehicles using parking spaces within the Linfield Parking Districts (surrounding the McMinnville Campus and on the Portland Campus) with Linfield Public Safety. The Parking Permit Fee associated with registration is $110 per year.

Members of the Linfield community who park unregistered vehicles within a Linfield Parking District are subject to fines by Linfield University of up to double the registration fee. The Parking Year runs from August 15 of one year through August 14 of the following year. The fee is assessed at the time the vehicle is registered at the annual rate and is valid through the following August 14. The fee is non-refundable. Vehicles parked within a Linfield Parking District are subject to citation from the Oregon State Department of Transportation, the City of McMinnville and Linfield University. Any vehicle towed will be towed at the owner’s expense.
