Financial Aid (Adult Undergraduate Program)

Adult Undergraduate Program Financial Information

Tuition and Fees

Tuition for all Adult Undergraduate program courses is charged on a per-credit hour tuition rate. Fees may be assessed to pay for additional costs of the course and/or program, and are not refundable.

Complete, up-to-date information on tuition and fees is located under Registration/Class Schedules.

Payment Policy

Tuition and fees are due at the beginning of each course. Payment or arrangements for payment can be made in one or more of the following ways:

• Payment in full. Students can make payment in full by cash, check, or credit card.
• Scheduled tuition payments. See below under Monthly Payment Plan.

If payment is not received or arrangements are not made by the payment deadline, a $40 late fee is assessed. Additionally, students may be administratively withdrawn and will be charged 10% of the tuition and 100% of fees that apply to their registration.

Enrollment in subsequent semesters will not be allowed until financial obligations have been met. Transcripts are released only after all financial obligations have been met.

Students leaving the University whose accounts are not paid in full may have their accounts turned to a collection agency and these students are responsible for all reasonable collection costs.

Monthly Payment Plan

Nebraska Wesleyan University offers a monthly payment plan to help students budget the cost of education. This special plan divides the cost of tuition and fees into monthly installments. No interest is charged, but a service fee is added. The plan may cover any portion of costs up to full tuition and fees. Contact the Business Office or Graduate/Adult/Transfer Office for details.

Refund Policy

Nebraska Wesleyan’s refund policy for the traditional semester is below. Refunds for students in courses offered in accelerated or other alternatively scheduled terms are figured using this schedule on a prorated basis. Refund policies for specific terms are included in the class schedule for that term.

Title IV Refund Calculation Policy

The Higher Education Amendment of 1998 established a new procedure for the return of Title IV Federal Student Aid when a student who is receiving Title IV aid withdraws from college before the end of a semester. The new Return of Title IV Funds policy follows:

The Financial Aid Office will determine the Title IV Federal Student Aid refund percentage based upon the student withdrawal information on file in the Registrar’s Office. The number of days enrolled will include weekends but will not include scheduled breaks which are five days or longer.

If a student who has been awarded a federal loan and/or grant does not officially withdraw and fails to earn a passing grade in at least one course over an entire semester, the institution must assume, for Title IV purposes, that the student has unofficially withdrawn, unless the institution can document that the student completed the semester. Federal regulations require a Title IV refund calculation must be processed by the Director of Scholarships and Financial Aid.

If there is a balance due on tuition and fees after the return of Title IV Federal Student Aid, the student will be responsible for the balance due.
