Inclusive Access course materials fees - some courses utilize Inclusive Access to lower text fees.
These text fees are added directly to the student account.
A student may choose to opt out of IA but must then purchase course materials on their own.
A student may opt out by going to the "Course Materials" link within the course and selecting "Opt out."
If a student does not see the link, the student should contact the Instructor immediately and send a message to textbooks@coker.edu.

Tuition and Fee Notes:
- Private occupancy rooms are only available when final enrollment (by gender and class rank, as well as total enrollment) does not require the use of all possible housing spaces. Students who have requested private occupancy housing may initially be assigned a roommate and will be notified if a private room becomes available.
- All students living in campus housing are required to purchase a Board Plan. On-campus students may choose either a 21-meal plan, which provides access to all meals served in the Linville Dining Hall each week, plus $125 in CobraCash per semester, or a 14-meal plan, which provides access to any 14 meals each week, plus $250 in CobraCash per semester.
Students living in the Residential Village may choose either of the meal plans above or, for a reduced rate, may opt for a 7-meal plan, which provides access to any seven meals each week, plus $125 in CobraCash per semester. CobraCash may be used at any of the on-campus retail food-service outlets and a limited number of off-campus locations.
- Students enrolled in the M.Ed in Curriculum and Instructional Technology through the Teacher Ready program should consult the Dean of the School of Education about program tuition.
Tuition and Fee Policies
Tuition and fees must be paid in full, or their payment satisfactorily arranged, at least 10 business days prior to the start of classes.
Registrations are not complete until all tuition and fees are paid in full. Enrollments for students whose financial arrangements are not complete may be canceled and access to University facilities (e.g. residence hall rooms, dining facility, and/or library) may be terminated. Students will not receive diplomas or transcripts of their academic records until their accounts have been paid in full. Students entering late are charged tuition, room and other fees for a full semester. However, resident students pay board only from the time they enter.
Returned Check Policy
There will be a $30.00 charge for any check written to Coker University and returned by the bank. This fee will be paid to Student Accounts.
Refund Policy
The refund policy applies to all students enrolled at Coker University. Refunds will be administered under the policy in place at the beginning of the enrollment period, as summarized below.
Application Fee:
Not refundable
Tuition:
In the event a student attends class(es) and finds it necessary to withdraw, charges will be reduced as follows:
- On or before the last day of drop/add: 100% refund
- During the first 20% of class: 50% refund
- During the second 20% of class: 25% refund
- After 40% of class: No refund
Tuition charges, less $50.00, will be refunded for the student who never attends class but withdraws after the drop/add period.
Acadeum Consortia Classes:
There will be no refunds given for online consortia courses past the teaching institution’s drop/add date. Please note: this date may be different from Coker’s drop/add date. If a student drops an Acadeum Consortia class after the fee has been paid, the student must pay for the course.
Audit Fee:
Not refundable
Room:
If a student has moved into the residence hall but withdraws within the first ten (10) days, the room charges will be refunded 75%. After the first ten (10) days of occupancy, no refund will be given.
Board Plan:
If a student enrolled in the board plan withdraws within the first ten (10) days, the board plan charges will be refunded on a prorated basis for the days not used. After the first ten (10) days, no refund will be given.
Course Fees:
Refundable on a pro-rata basis up to the last day of drop/add. After the Drop/Add period, no refund will be given.
Disciplinary Suspensions:
When a student is suspended or expelled for disciplinary reasons, the University will make no refund of tuition or fees. Students suspended from the residence hall for disciplinary reasons will receive no refund for room and board.
Calculation of Refund Amount
The exact amount paid for any refund will be determined by the amount of tuition and other refundable costs/fees, less any amount owed for nonrefundable charges such as room and board. Withdrawing students should consult with the Financial Aid and Student Accounts to fully understand the amount of the refund they might receive or the amount they may owe the University. If a refund is due, it will be mailed when the student’s final account balance has been calculated.
Students should be aware that the University does not credit a withdrawing student’s account with 100% of institutionally-funded financial aid (i.e. Coker athletic, need-based, and merit scholarships) but will apportion the institutional aid at the same percentage as the tuition refund. Because a withdrawing student may be liable to repay financial aid funded by State and Federal programs, a payment to the State or Federal government may be required.
