Other Fees
Parking Fee
Each student, whether resident or commuter, who parks a vehicle on the campus must register and obtain an annual parking permit. The permit can be purchased for the following cost: Resident—$100 per year, Resident (Dorm Area) $100 per year, and Commuter $100 per year (not prorated for partial year). Copies of the “Vehicle and Parking Regulations” are available through the Campus Security Office. Violations of these regulations may result in a citation. The University reserves the right to remove from the campus, at the owner’s expense, any vehicle not properly registered. The University is not responsible for theft or damage to any vehicle parked on campus.
New Student Fee
Each semester the University sponsors an orientation program for incoming students. A $225 fee is charged to cover the cost of the program including room and board.
Nursing Fee
A course fee of $400 is added to each clinical course in the Nursing Program due to the increased costs of testing software, facilities, laboratories, equipment, and supplies of this program. Clinical courses are normally taken in the junior and senior years of the program. Additional fees may be required in select nursing courses.
Practice Teaching Fee
A student majoring in education will be assigned to do practice teaching in a school. A $400 fee is paid by the student to the University to cover related expenses.
Transcripts

A request must be made in writing to the Enrollment Services Information Desk. All outstanding balances due to Franciscan University of Steubenville must be paid in order to receive a transcript.
