Pierpont to Charge $130 Fee for BOG Degree

[allvia]

I will be a December graduate, but I did not see a fee yet. I checked my student account 3 times this week in ROAR and have not received a fee charge yet. Anyone else, not get a charge yet?

What puzzles me is that when I applied at the end of July, I did not see anything on their website about the $130 fee. I also did not receive any e-mails from the school about the new student fee either. The Fall semester started, with classes beginning, on August 18th at Pierpont. Now, in mid-September, it seems this fee appears out of nowhere. I'm in full support of the Pierpont and think the BOG program is a great outlier in the expensive mess that higher education is in the USA but I just wish there was seriously no mention to me about the $130 fee during my initial correspondence with the school's staff during July.

The economy and the cost of living in the USA is now so bad, I really don't blame them for wanting to go forward with new student fees. It would have been nice if the word of this would have gotten out earlier or they would have started this next year in 2024.

Since the fee is a 'New student fee' you may have applied before it went into effect. You may be one of the last to get in totally free (pre-Fee).
