COSTS
Capital University is a non-profit educational institution. The tuition, fees and other charges paid by students cover approximately 75 percent of the institution’s instructional and operating costs. The balance is provided by generous gifts from alumni and friends, income from university endowment, and support from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

Capital University-Office of Student Accounts
Statement of Financial Responsibility
Before registering for classes at Capital University, you must read and accept this agreement acknowledging that you understand and agree to the following terms and conditions of financial responsibility:
- I have a legally binding obligation to pay Capital University all tuition, room and board (if applicable), and other applicable fees by the due date.
- This payment obligation is binding whether or not I access my electronic billing information (eBill), and whether my account is being paid by me or another person.
- If my account is not paid by the due date, I understand I may be assessed a late payment fee.
- Failure to attend classes does not constitute an official drop or withdraw. I understand that to drop or withdraw from a class I must complete and submit all required paperwork in a timely manner. If my account becomes delinquent, I will not be allowed to register for the next semester and, if I am a graduating student, I may not be allowed to participate in Commencement and I will not be issued a transcript or diploma until the account is paid.
- I understand that, should my account be placed with a collection agency, my account will be assessed a fee based on a percentage of the debt up to the maximum allowed by law and that all costs and expenses including reasonable attorney fees that Capital University incurs for the collection of this debt, will be my responsibility.
- Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) - I authorize Capital University and its affiliates, agents, and contractors to contact me regarding my account balance to the University, including the repayment of my balance, by any phone number I have provided and may provide in the future, including any wireless number, using automated technology (including automated telephone dialing or artificial or pre-recorded voice or text messaging.)
Financial Aid
Scholarships, Awards, Loans and Grants
General Information*
Capital University offers many kinds of financial aid to help students and their parents defray the expenses of a student’s education. Merit-based awards are determined at the time of admission to Capital and are available for up to eight fall and spring semesters. Students must attend full time (12 credits or more per term) and maintain the minimum grade point average (GPA) for renewal. Scholarships awarded upon enrollment to the University will not be increased in future terms.
Additional need-based aid may be made available for students who submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This form must be completed annually in order to continue receiving need-based federal, state or institutional aid. We encourage students to complete a FAFSA every year by April 1st in order to have a financial aid award determined. Need-based aid is awarded for only one year and students must reapply with the submission of a FAFSA. As long as students: (1) are in good academic standing, (2) remain in compliance with the “Student Code of Conduct” as explained in the Student Handbook, (3) maintain Satisfactory of Academic Progress (explained in a later section) and (4) demonstrate financial need, aid will be made available each year.
We strongly encourage families to complete the FAFSA electronically at www.fafsa.gov. This online format will reduce the number of potential errors and allow the process to go as quickly as possible. The student and one parent will need a Federal ID and password to sign the form electronically. All instructions for this are available at the FAFSA website and any questions can be directed to the Financial Aid Office at 614-236-6511 or www.capital.edu/finaid/.
All financial aid awards are subject to change or modification if a student changes enrollment status, housing plans or receives additional funding not considered at the time of the original award. This may include Capital University academic-based awards in the event that a student’s direct costs are met by other resources.
Withdrawal from the University
Students who withdraw from the University during a term will have their aid recalculated based on federal and institutional refund policies. These policies determine the amount of federal aid a student has “earned” based on the number of days they attended class and also establish how much tuition is refunded based on the prescribed schedule. It is important that students considering a withdrawal should follow the official withdrawal procedure, which includes a meeting with a representative of the Financial Aid Office.
For financial aid information for Adult and Continuing Education, please see that section of the Bulletin.
*Law and MBA students should consult appropriate sections in their bulletins for financial aid information.
Standards of Academic Progress (SAP)
Capital University requires that students maintain satisfactory academic progress in order to receive federal and state funds. In addition, a minimum GPA is in place for students to remain eligible for their Capital aid. There are several components to this policy and it can be found in its entirety at Capital’s Undergraduate Aid website.
- Generally, students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or better in order to remain eligible for all types of aid, although some institutional scholarships have higher GPA requirements as noted in each scholarship notification.
- Students must successfully complete at least 67% of all attempted credits in order to maintain SAP. Transfer credits count as attempted hours and completed hours.
- Capital aid is available for eight semesters of full time attendance, even if a student withdraws midway through a term. Federal and state aid are available for up to 186 attempted credits, as long as the student’s program evaluation confirms that a student is not eligible to graduate, which is the equivalent to 150% of the standard time frame to complete a Bachelor’s degree here at Capital. If you are enrolled in a program that requires 135 credits for graduation, federal and state aid is available for up to 201 attempted credits.
Students will be evaluated for SAP at the end of every spring term. If students fail to meet any one of these criteria, they will immediately lose eligibility for any further aid unless they submit an appeal and have it approved. There is no warning status. Appeals that are approved allow students one additional semester of financial aid as they work to regain SAP. All conditions of the approval will be conveyed to the students in the response notification.
Formal dismissal from the University automatically cancels any eligibility for financial aid. See “Dismissal, Academic” in the “Undergraduate Academic Policies, Regulations and General Information” section of this Bulletin for additional information and information regarding the appeal process for reinstatement.
Verification
Capital University is responsible for assuring accuracy of data reported on the FAFSA by students and their families. If requested, students must provide additional documentation. This process is called Verification and is required by the Department of Education.
If a student is selected for Verification, which is done based on federal and institutional criteria, the Financial Aid Office will require the student and parent(s) to submit documentation such as federal tax return transcripts from the prior tax year, all W-2s and a Verification Worksheet that will be sent to your home. All documents must be signed and submitted to the Financial Aid Office as directed. Changes identified in originally reported FAFSA data could result in a recalculation of need-based aid eligibility. The consequence of not submitting required verification materials upon request is that the student will be ineligible to receive any financial aid until the documentation is submitted and reviewed. If documents are not submitted until after the term, the student is at risk of losing federal and/or state aid eligibility.
Consortium Agreements
When a student contacts the Financial Aid Office indicating he/she will be attending another school as a transient student and is requesting assistance to help pay for classes offered at another school, the Financial Aid Office may enter into a Consortium Agreement with the school the student plans to attend IF the student meets eligibility criteria. Further information is available in the Financial Aid Office. All students must also be sure to meet Residence Requirements as outlined in the Bulletin and are limited to three consortium agreements during their time at Capital University.
If a student meets Consortium Agreement criteria, the following information must be provided to the Financial Aid Office before processing can begin:
- Completed and signed Consortium Agreement, and
- Copy of the student’s registration from the school the student is planning to attend.
Students must make arrangements with the other school to pay billed expenses by their appropriate deadlines and must anticipate that aid will be delivered on a delayed basis due to additional processing required to complete the Consortium Agreement.
Additional information can be found in the Capital University Financial Aid Office.
Federal / State Grants
Federal Pell Grant-A federal need-based grant to qualified students as determined by the FAFSA. Amounts are determined by the United States Department of Education and are subject to change. Students must submit a FAFSA each year to receive consideration.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG)-A need-based federal grant awarded to students with Federal Pell Grant eligibility and having the greatest financial need. This is a limited fund and will not be made available to all Pell Grant recipients.
Ohio College Opportunity Grant-This grant is awarded from the State of Ohio based on need determined by the FAFSA. Eligibility is based on a student’s Expected Family Contribution and household income. It is funded through the state’s biennial budget and is not assured each year.
Loans
Federal Direct Loan-Subsidized/Unsubsidized-These federal loans are intended to help students pay the cost of post-secondary education. In order to be eligible for this loan, students must complete a FAFSA and be enrolled at least 1/2 time (6 credits). The amount a student can borrow is based on the number of earned credit hours and the type of loan (subsidized and/or unsubsidized) will be based on financial need. The United States Department of Education funds these loans and assigns borrowers to a servicer for the repayment process. Repayment begins six months after a student ceases to be enrolled at least half time and generally allows for repayment to extend ten years under the standard repayment plan and up to 25 years in certain circumstances. There are also provisions for loan cancellation if a borrower meets certain criteria. Please visit Capital’s site at Federal Direct Loans for additional information about this loan program.
Federal Direct PLUS Loan-This loan is funded by the U.S. Department of Education and available to parents (of dependent undergraduate students) who have no adverse credit history. Parents may borrow up to the cost of education minus any financial aid received. Repayment usually begins 60 days after the final disbursement, although payments can be deferred while the student is enrolled at least half-time. Students whose parents are denied PLUS Loans may request additional Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan funds with verification of a PLUS denial. Details are available on Capital’s web site at Federal Direct Plus Loans or in the Financial Aid Office.
Nursing Student Loan-Nursing Student Loans have low interest rates (5%) with deferred payment of principal and interest until after graduation or discontinuation of enrollment of at least half-time. Nursing loans are limited to students enrolled in the School of Nursing and repayment will begin if the student leaves the nursing program. Once identified for this loan, a promissory note must be completed before the funds can be credited to the student’s account. Details on completing this step will be sent to the borrower electronically at their Capital email address.
Resources for Books and Living Expenses
Delivery of Loan Proceeds
All students should make arrangements to have sufficient personal funds to cover non-billed costs such as books and living expenses each term until excess loan funds can be made available.
The federal government requires the institution to deliver loan proceeds to students’ accounts in a timely manner upon receipt of electronically transmitted loan funds. Generally, loans are disbursed to the student’s account one week before each semester, as long as the financial aid file is complete.
Capital will attempt to deliver all loan proceeds as soon as possible within federal guidelines. All students who are receiving funds in excess of institutional charges must request receipt of these funds by completing a Refund Request Form (available through the Student Accounts Office). This form cannot be completed any sooner than the first official day of each term.
Alternative Loan Programs-Many lending institutions have tailored educational loans for students. These programs may carry higher interest payments and are based on credit. In most cases, repayments can be deferred until graduation or separation from school. Details are available at Alternative Loans or in the Financial Aid Office. This process can take approximately 30 days so students will need to plan accordingly.
Tuition Management Program
Many families find it more convenient to spread educational expenses over equal monthly payments rather than in two larger payments billed at the beginning of each semester. Capital University offers students and their families the option of the Tuition Management System (TMS) in which payments may be spread over as many as 10 months. A small annual fee is charged however there are no interest charges. TMS is flexible in that as cost and financial aid are finalized, families may contact TMS to increase or decrease their payment amount or withdraw. Monthly payments are made directly to TMS, either by check or automatic deduction from a checking account. Additional information is available from Capital’s Finance Office by calling 614-236-6123 or at http://www.afford.com/capital.
Employment Opportunities
Federal Work Study-This federally funded program provides employment opportunities for students with the “greatest need.” Students work for the university and normally earn $500-$2,000 during the academic year. Earnings are paid directly to the student through direct deposit bi-weekly, based on hours worked. Federal Work Study earnings are not directly credited to a student’s tuition account. Visit Capital’s site for detailed job information on all positions available at http://www.capital.edu/work-study-jobs/.
Student Assistants-Academic departments and Residence Life employ students by the semester or for the entire academic year.
Additional Job Opportunities-The Career Development Office provides a Job Internship web site: Crusader Careers, which includes part-time, full-time, internship and summer job opportunities.
