Summer Meal Options
Traditional Plan
Franklin College offers a variety of Meal Plan Options for students in the summer. Our traditional plan is CHF 300 or USD 300 for a 4-week session. The meal plan will include 6 meals per week (lunch, dinner or breakfast). However, the meal card can also be used as a declining-balance account, allowing students to deduct the actual cost of items less than the daily meal option.
The Traditional Plan can be purchased before arriving at Franklin in a number of ways, including online at Payment Options.
Open Plan
Additionally, an Open Account Plan can be purchased directly from our Grotto after arriving at Franklin. The Grotto, FC's "grab and go" eatery, located on the Kaletsch Campus is a place to rejuvenate in a relaxing laid-back atmosphere. At the Grotto, you can use your meal card, cash or credit card to purchase coffee, drinks, snacks and a wide variety of other food items, including burgers, veggie burgers, salads, pasta, wraps and a daily local special.
Payment Deadline
Invoices will be sent to students after they are accepted to the summer session. The payment due date for Summer Session 1 is May 11, 2012 and the due date for Session 2 is June 1, 2012. Late payment fees will apply after these payment due dates. For students accepted after payment due dates, invoices are payable within 10 days of invoicing or before the first day of class, whichever first applies. No student will be admitted into courses or residences if full payment has not been remitted.
Refund and Cancellation Policies
There is a refund of 75% of the tuition for courses dropped within the schedule change deadline (drop/add). Students who withdraw from a class within the first week will receive a 50% refund of tuition. There are no tuition refunds thereafter. The housing fee is not refundable.
Late Withdrawal Fee
Withdrawals from the program must be communicated in writing. A withdrawal is considered late when it is received after the withdrawal deadline specified for each summer session (May 11 for Summer Session 1 and June 1 for Summer Session 2). A late withdrawal fee of CHF 500 or US $500 will be assessed in such cases. Payment will be refunded in full for withdrawals received before the specified withdrawal deadlines.
Medical and Accidental Insurance
All students are responsible for their own accident and medical insurance coverage. Generally this is easily obtained by extending existing medical and accident insurance to include worldwide coverage during the time the student is away from home.
Note:
Franklin College reserves the right to modify or cancel courses or programs as may be required by unforeseen circumstances. In cases of cancellation by Franklin College, all payments made to the College will be refunded in full.
