Changes from Rindge In-Person classes to Online Enrollment

Students who are admitted to study on the Rindge campus and opt to enroll 100% online in any undergraduate or graduate term (non-semester) must follow the defined process, which includes meeting with a representative from the Student Financial Services Office. For more information on this process, please contact the Registrar’s Office.

Students must be informed that by enrolling in 100% online undergraduate or graduate terms, they will forfeit all Franklin Pierce University funding and will be considered eligible for Title IV financial aid only. Billing adjustments will be applied in accordance with the program. Failure to follow proper process to change campus of study through the Registrar’s Office will result in being switched to Rindge traditional or Rindge online based solely on your enrollment pattern. Rindge students enrolled 100% online will be charged Undergraduate Online rates.

Campus Housing and Meal Plans

All residential students are required to be on a meal plan for the entire year, though meal plan options may vary based on the housing assigned. Meal plan options can be viewed on the Franklin Pierce website. Requests for changes to the meal plan must be filed with either Residential Life (for Meal plan decrease) or Student Financial Services (for a meal plan increase). Meal plan decreases can be made up until the end of add/drop. Meal plan increases can be made at any time; however, if the semester due date has passed, any resulting owed balance will be due before the meal plan addition will be approved. Meal plan increases will not be prorated; the full cost of the Meal plan is due upon increase. Students who are removed from residence for student conduct reasons are not eligible to receive a proration or refund of housing and Meal plans. Please note: Failure to utilize a meal plan does not entitle students to a cost adjustment.

Requested changes to housing must be filed in Residential Life. Any students who are approved to change their residence prior to add/ drop will be charged for the new housing without proration. Students who are removed from residence for student conduct reasons are not eligible to receive a proration or refund of housing and meal plan.

Please note: Failure to complete the proper checkout procedure when leaving campus, either early or by the published move-out deadlines for a term, will result in charges.
