Any student who has not settled their financial account by the announced drop date will have their schedules dropped from the University. If a student re-registers after their classes have been dropped, there is an additional $250 LATE FEE that will be added to their account and that account must be settled at the time the student re-registers. No student will be charged more than $250.00 in Late Fees.

Upon notification of acceptance, day applicants must submit an ENROLLMENT DEPOSIT of $300.00. This will ensure a place in the University.

Returning residence hall students are required to make a $300.00 room reservation deposit in the spring to reserve a residence hall room for the following academic year.

Students who enter at the second semester are subject to the same financial requirements listed herein.

A SECURITY DEPOSIT of $150.00 is required of all first time resident students. This must be paid regardless of the scholarship or student aid arrangements with the University. The security deposit will be refunded at the end of the senior year or at the time of withdrawal from the University.

CONTRACT CANCELLATION FEE: Fall housing agreements are for the full academic year. Prior to August 1, any continuing student who wishes to cancel his/her residence hall agreement must submit a letter in writing to the Office of Student Life and receive approval from the Director of Residence Life. All continuing students cancelling prior to the August 1 deadline will be responsible for a $300.00 cancellation fee.

Students with accounts in arrears may be excluded from final examinations, graduation ceremonies, issuance of academic documents and records, and readmission to future academic programs until the accounts in arrears are paid in full. There is a one percent monthly interest charge on all delinquent accounts.

Partial withdrawal requests are made via BannerWeb under Student Services – Registration. Complete withdrawals requests are required to come to the Office of the Registrar to secure the necessary signatures to complete the withdrawal process.

The date on the “complete withdrawal” form will count as the official date of notification for processing the withdrawal. The most recent "Last Date of Attendance" is the date that will be used by all offices for processing the withdrawal, return to Title IV calculation and tuition adjustments. There is no tuition adjustment on a withdrawal from any Dual Enrollment class or classes.

If a faculty member assigns a failing grade for a course due to academic misconduct (e.g. plagiarism, cheating, etc.), a grade of “F” will be immediately assigned, and a withdrawal will be prohibited. If the student wishes to appeal his or her final grade for the course, the student may immediately begin the grade appeal process.

NO TUITION ADJUSTMENT CALCULATION WILL BE APPLICABLE UNLESS A STUDENT COMPLETELY WITHDRAWS FROM ALL REGISTERED CLASSES IN A SEMESTER.

The Institutional Tuition Adjustment Policy percentage for complete withdrawal from CBU is calculated by dividing the number of days completed in the semester (or applicable term), as of the date of official withdrawal (the date the student submits the withdrawal form to the Registrar), by the number of days in the semester (or applicable term) exclusive of breaks of five or more days.

No adjustment will be made if a student has completed more than sixty percent (60%) of a semester or an 8-week term. Advance deposits (including Application Fees and Tuition Deposits) are non-refundable.

The following schedules apply to Fall & Spring Terms ONLY. Summer sessions and special workshops will be on a TBA basis.

A. Day Undergraduate or MEM, MSEM and PA Graduate Students. The following schedule will be used when calculating tuition adjustments and institutional awards for all students classified as Day undergraduate or MEM graduate students regardless of when their classes begin*:

B. Evening Undergraduate or MBA, MEd, MAT, or MSEL Graduate Students (First 8-Week Term Only). The following schedule will be used when calculating tuition adjustments and institutional awards for all students classified as Evening undergraduate or MBA, MEd, MAT, MSEL graduate students and who are ONLY enrolled in the first 8-week term of a semester*:

C. Evening Undergraduate or MBA, MEd, MAT, or MSEL Graduate Students (Second 8-Week Term Only ). The following schedule will be used when calculating tuition adjustments and institutional awards for all students classified as Evening undergraduate or MBA, MEd, MAT, MSEL graduate students and who are ONLY enrolled in the second 8-week term of a semester*:

D. Evening Undergraduate or MBA, MEd, MAT, or MSEL Graduate Students (Both First & Second 8-Week Terms). The following schedule will be used when calculating tuition adjustments and institutional awards for all students classified as Evening undergraduate or MBA, MEd, MAT graduate students and who are enrolled in BOTH 8-week terms (first 8-week and second 8-week term) of a semester*:

* There is an administrative fee retained by CBU for all complete withdrawals. It is the lesser of a) $100.00 or b) 5% of Institutional Charges.

If a student completely withdraws from CBU, the unearned amount of Federal Financial funds must be returned to the appropriate Federal Aid programs. The unearned amount of the Federal Financial Aid is calculated by dividing the number of days completed in the term by the number of days in the term, exclusive of breaks of five or more days. No refund is required if the student has completed more than sixty percent (60%) of the term. All unofficial withdrawals will be calculated using the fifty percent (50%) point of the term or the last known date of academic related activity provided by the Instructor.

An unofficial withdrawal happens when a student stops attending classes and/or receives a zero GPA for that term/semester. CBU is required to calculate a return of Title IV funds (Stafford, PLUS loans, Pell grants), which may create a tuition liability for the student, resulting in them owing CBU money, unless they can prove that they attended at least one class past the sixty percent point of the term/semester.

The United States Department of Education requires repayment of funds in the following order:

• Unsubsidized Direct Loans
• Subsidized Direct Loans
• Federal Perkins Loans
• Federal Plus Loans
• Federal Pell Grants
• Federal SEOG
• Other Federal Financial Aid programs

Examples of the refund calculations for the Federal Financial Aid are available in the Financial Aid Office during normal working hours.

For students and parents who find it necessary to pay educational expenses in installments, a payment plan is offered for each semester. Summer classes are handled differently. The semester payment plan is available online through TouchNet. The installments should be made through TouchNet. Instructions and details are available on the CBU website. The payment plan charges 1% monthly interest on any unpaid balance.

Traditional Day students and Global College students (registered in both terms) will be required to pay 25% of the balance due after financial aid and scholarships as an initial payment for the payment plan. International students will be required to pay 25% of the balance due after financial aid and scholarships as an initial payment for the payment plan. In both cases, the balance due after the initial payment will be paid in 3 or 4 monthly payments. Second term classes and summer classes are handled differently due to the short schedule. CBU reserves the right to refuse payment plan option to students who did not honor the scheduled payments in previous terms.

All federal student loan checks and institutional loan checks must be deposited into the student’s account. If the posting of any check(s) creates a credit balance on the student’s account, the student may request a refund following the Add/Drop period, after all charges and financial aid have been posted. Students are encouraged to sign up online for ERefunds through TouchNet to receive any excess funds.

Annually, CBU and Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity provide a number of Triangle Scholarship Awards for high school seniors who have applied and been accepted to CBU. The awards are designed to encourage academic excellence, foster leadership skills, and enhance the personal development of deserving students in pursuit of their college degrees. Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity invites your application for consideration. Established by his father, Richard T. Gadomski, this award remembers Gregory Raymond Gadomski, who was initiated as the 70th member of the Pi-Epsilon chapter of TKE on November 20, 1982. As an undergraduate, Greg was an active member of his chapter, serving as a Big Brother to another member, serving on Chapter committees, and planning the Chapter’s annual formal. Greg is remembered by those who knew him as “a kind soul and a good friend” and as being the type of person who was “never ever boring.” Greg was recognized by CBU as the recipient of the Distinguished Young Alumnus Award in 1995. This scholarship is given in memory of Greg’s love for TKE and CBU. It will recognize one or more incoming students who have demonstrated outstanding achievements in all areas of involvement.

Amount: Awards vary from year to year depending on the applicant pool and availability of funds. Awards can range from $500 to $1,000. All awards are made possible through contributions to the Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity-Gregory Raymond Gadomski Memorial Scholarship Endowment Fund.

Application Process: 1.) You need to have already been accepted to CBU to be eligible to apply. 2.) Complete Gadomski Triangle Scholarship Application

Deadline: The application needs to be received or postmarked by February 28th.

Renewable Criteria: Triangle scholarships are one-time awards applied toward CBU tuition and fees

The Trustee, Leadership, Maurelian, Presidential and Lasallian Scholarships require a 2.75 cumulative GPA by the end of the sophomore year for renewal. The Engage Scholarship, Latino Student Success Program, Latino Achievement Award, University Scholarship, Dean’s Scholarship, Rozier Scholarship, and Lasallian Achievement Awards require Satisfactory Academic Progress to be retained. These awards are renewable until graduation as long as the renewal criteria are met and the student is full-time in the same program (i.e., Day, Evening). Awards may be prorated during the last term for graduating seniors if they do not need a full-time course load to graduate. Students must notify the Student Financial Aid Office. Institutional scholarships and awards cannot be used during the summer term. Performance and athletic scholarships are renewable at the discretion of the person giving that award (i.e., performing arts directors and coaches).

In many cases students will find that their CBU awarded scholarship has been given a particular name. This is done to honor those friends of the University who have donated some or all of the funding for a scholarship. These names come from two sources: established endowments or annual gifts. If a student’s scholarship or academic award is given a name, this does not change the student’s award but acknowledges the source of the resources making the scholarship possible. In most cases, the student will be encouraged to either write to or meet with the donor.

Christian Brothers University is committed to being a partner along with the student and family in financing a CBU education. Resources may also be supplied by the state, federal government, or private donors. After acceptance to the University, students are encouraged to fill out and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.gov .

Components of the financial aid package may include scholarships, academic awards, federal or state grants, University and privately funded grants, federal, University or private loans, and student employment. The University will work with each student and family to find those packages best suited to individual needs and circumstances.

To continue federal and state awards once the student is enrolled, the student must maintain the requirements of the Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy and Letter of Scholarship renewal policy. This is available to students online.

The Federal Government selects approximately 33% of those who apply for Title IV aid to go through a process of verification. This will be indicated on the Student Aid Report the student receives from the central processor and communicated to the student from the Financial Aid Office. Documents needed to complete the verification process (such as an IRS tax transcript) will be requested from the student. Policies concerning the verification process are available in the Student Financial Aid Office.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

Tour Details

Moscow metro tour: architectural styles of the subway.

Duration: 2 hours

Categories: Culture & History, Sightseeing

This metro tour of Russia’s capital and most populous city, Moscow, is your chance to get a unique insight into the beautiful and impressive architecture of the city's underground stations. Admire their marble walls and high ceilings representing Stalin's desire for glory after World War 2, and see first-hand how the interiors change with the rise of new political eras. Your guide will lead you through the complex network, which is one of the most heavily used rapid transit systems worldwide, with over two billion travelers in 2011.

Opened in 1935, Moscow’s underground system, now 190 miles (305 km) long with 185 stations, is today one the largest and most heavily used rapid transit systems in the world. On this Moscow metro tour, discover the impressive architecture of Moscow’s underground stations and learn how they reflect the Soviet era.

Getting around by metro, your local guide will take you through parts of Moscow’s infamous history. Stop at stations built during the time of the USSR (Soviet Union) that are praised as one of the most extravagant architectural projects from Stalin’s time. After World War 2, he was keen on establishing Stalinist architecture to represent his rising regime and a recognized empire. Learn how when his successor started the de-Stalinization of the former Soviet Union in 1953, the extravagancy of the architecture was toned down.

Discover how the unique character of each station reflected several different eras. While stations like Kievskaya and Slavyansky Bulvar have pompous halls and high stucco ceilings brimming with extravagant decorations, those built later, like Volzhskaya, are lightly adorned with sparse furnishings. Architect Alexey Dushkin and painter Alexander Deyneka were just two of the many artists who made these magnificent landmarks possible.

Revel in Moscow's glory days, as well as the years of scarcity, on this fascinating Moscow metro experience. Conclude your tour at one of the central stations in Moscow.

Culture Shock Rating

We have a wide range of tours designed to give you an insight into the destination you're travelling in and there is something for everybody. The culture shock ratings considers the destination visited, transport used, activities undertaken and that "Wow, I'm really not at home now!" factor. While generalisations are always tricky, a summary of our gradings is as follows…

This is the least confronting of our tour range. Transport used on the trip is either private or a very comfortable public option, the activities included are usually iconic sites and locations that are not all too confronting.

The tour can include a mix of private and public transport providing a level of comfort that is slightly below what you would experience at home. Sites visited are usually iconic sites, tours can also include market visits, visits to communities etc that provide the traveller with a fantastic insight into destination.

Expect to rough it for parts of this tour, whether it's a packed public bus where you are forced to stand, a visit to a local market, a local community, you are sure to have an experience that is very different from what you're used to at home.

The comforts of your home town and the environment you are used to are more of a rarity. Expect some challenging transport options, visits to local sites and areas that don't resemble anything at home.

You're out there in the global community! You are likely to be exposed to the elements, travel in whatever means of transport is available and basically take it as it comes, whatever comes! It can be tough.
