Should I apply for financial aid even if I think I don’t qualify?

Some financial aid is need-based as determined by federal methodology and the FAFSA, but other financial aid options are open to everyone. When in doubt, apply.

So when is Counseling helpful or needed?

It’s a question of measuring to what extent you are managing — anything that makes you feel overwhelmed or limits your ability to function to the level you would like are basic cues that it is time to seek a counselor. Other signs include:

  • Everything you feel is intense or overwhelming (or reversely, you feel numb and detached from life).
  • You’ve suffered trauma and you can’t seem to stop thinking about it.
  • You have unexplained and recurrent headaches, stomach-aches or a rundown immune system.
  • You’re using a substance to cope.
  • You take extra measures to either avoid people completely or constantly distract yourself from being by yourself.
  • You’re getting negative feedback from work or school.
  • You feel disconnected from previously beloved activities.
  • Your relationships are strained.
  • Your friends or family have told you they’re concerned.

When self-harm or suicidal thoughts are present, talk to someone and see a counselor. This is absolutely a time to engage in a non-judgmental, accepting counseling relationship to find the support and care that you need.

Special Procedural Provisions

Federal Title IV student aid is disbursed to pay educational expenses while enrolled. When a student withdraws prior to the completion of 60 percent of the semester for which aid was awarded, a pro-rated portion of the aid must be returned to the federal government.

Federal regulations require a written institutional policy for the refund and repayment of federal aid received by students terminating enrollment for any reason during a semester for which payment has been received. Refund calculations to determine the refund percentage are performed using the Federal Title IV refund procedure as prescribed by the U.S. Department of Education.

The institution is responsible for the return of funds to appropriate federal sources based on the refund percentage identified. The student is responsible for repayment to the institution or the federal government for any balance owed created by the withdrawal.

Student Accounts

Charges to students for all tuition, fees, and housing are recorded in an individual account based on the student identification number assigned upon initial enrollment. Grants, scholarships, and loan payments are recorded as credits against those charges as they are received. The balance due, if any, shown on the student’s account statement must be paid in full by August 1 for the fall semesterÌý²¹²Ô»åÌýDecember 15 for the spring semester, prior to moving into student housing, and upon receipt of subsequent monthly statements. Payments in excess of charges will be refunded to the student unless the student requests the funds be held on the account as pre-payment of future charges. All credit balances must be refunded to the student at the end of each academic year, regardless of student request. The student may apply the money to their student account for the next academic year charges by making a payment on their account.

If a student adds or drops courses, an official change of registration form must be submitted. Fees and charges are adjusted for adding and dropping courses within the allowed add/drop period at the full semester rate(s), with related adjustments in financial aid. Students considering a drop below full-time enrollment status are encouraged to discuss the financial impact of such a decision with Financial Aid personnel.

Upon registering for classes, students incur charges and are responsible for payments of these charges whether or not they attend. ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã, a non-profit institution of higher learning, in establishing any student account, extends credit to students solely for the purpose of financing their education.

Textbooks

In order to provide students with maximum dependability and affordability, ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã has chosen to partner with Slingshot to provide textbooks to all students.  The partnership with Slingshot allows students to receive the correct books in time for the start of the academic year.

All traditional semester program students will automatically be enrolled in the Slingshot Digital/Rental program without additional costs. Students receive their books on-campus during the weekend before classes start each semester and are not required to purchase their course materials on their own. Information is provided on the Slingshot website for students to access books provided digitally.  Students are required to return all rental books to the on-campus mailroom no later than the day after the course ends.

Students access their textbook information on the Slingshot website at . Questions about your course materials or shipment information can be addressed by contacting the Slingshot Customer Service staff at 1-888-392-2930.

Students have the choice to opt out of this program until the payment deadline for the semester by contacting the Slingshot Customer Service staff at 1-888-392-2930. Choosing to purchase course materials on your own does not reduce your tuition and fees.

ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã is committed to the holistic development of every student—academically, spiritually, and personally—in alignment with our Christ-centered mission and values. The Squire, our official Student Handbook, serves as a comprehensive guide to the expectations, resources, policies, and services that shape student life at WPU.
