Fees

Late Registration Fee: $100 per course late fee registration for enrolling after the drop/add period. All tuition remission and consortium students must pay applicable fees such as graduation, health service, technology, lab and mandatory fees. (Fees are subject to change without further notice.) All drops or withdrawals are dated as of the date in which they were submitted to the Registrar. The tuition refund policies are listed above. The summer terms have a separate tuition refund policy. Whether or not you attend classes, the period of attendance will be computed as the number of days from the scheduled date of opening class in each term to the date shown on the drop or withdrawal slip. See the "Financial Aid" section for information regarding the use of financial aid in the case of a withdrawal.

The boarding fee is pro-rated from the date of confirmation of registration to the day of withdrawal. Students who withdraw from campus housing within 30 days of the beginning of the academic term will be charged for room fees on a pro-rated basis. No refunds are given after 30 days of the term have expired.

Other Policies

1. Enrollment shall be considered as signifying knowledge of all conditions, rules and regulations and shall be deemed as acceptance thereof.

2. The University shall not be responsible for any damage or loss of personal property from any cause whatsoever.

3. Bills for University services or monetary sanctions such as library or parking fines must be paid in full within 7 days of the start of the semester or within 7 days of the posting of the charge, whichever comes later.

4. Students are not entitled to receive recommendations, degrees, honors, grades or transcripts of credit until all bills are paid and National Direct/Defense Student loans and Perkins loans are in current status.

5. In the event of default in the payment of any amount due, and if the account is placed in the hands of an agency or attorney for collection or legal action, the student agrees to pay an additional charge equal to the cost of collection including agency and attorney fees and court costs.

6. Payments made by personal check, business check or online by ACH will be subject to a 14 day hold to allow for clearance of funds. This hold will not be lifted until 14 days have passed, regardless of your scheduled registration date unless proper documentation is provided from your bank to the Student Accounts Office showing the payment has cleared your account. Any holds on your account must be satisfied before registration for the upcoming term will be allowed.

Financial Aid

Benedictine University's Office of Financial Aid administers a variety of federal, state and institutional programs of student financial assistance. Each of these programs carries specific student eligibility requirements. In general, students must be formally admitted as degree-seeking and enrolled for a

minimum number of credit hours. All financial aid recipients must maintain satisfactory academic progress in accordance with the published, "Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy for Financial Aid Recipients."

The fundamental purpose of the financial aid program at Benedictine University is to make it

possible for every qualified student to obtain a college education regardless of financial means. The process of financing an education is a partnership. Although the student and his/her family has primary responsibility for meeting college costs, Benedictine University, as well as the federal government have a variety of financial aid programs available to students who need financial assistance.

Benedictine University will not unlawfully deny educational services to any otherwise qualified student on the basis of race, color, gender, age, national origin, disability or veteran status.

Application Procedures

All students applying for financial aid are asked to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Students must reapply for financial aid each award year. The FAFSA should be completed as soon as possible after January 1.
