- Capital University is pleased to provide students with a comprehensive form of accident and sickness insurance, underwritten by National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA, for the 2013-2014 school year.
Capital University requires all students registered six or more credit hours to automatically be enrolled in the Student Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan. Fees for this insurance are included on the student’s tuition bill. Students who are currently insured by a health insurance policy (i.e., their own or through their parent’s) may waive the Student Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan. Waivers need to be completed online prior to September 6, 2013. If you do not complete the online waiver, you will automatically be assessed a single student insurance premium on your student invoice.
Please note all waiver information will be verified by a third party agency, with your insurance company as part of the insurance verification process. If insurance status cannot be verified, the waiver will be revoked and the insurance premium will remain on your student account.
No waivers will be accepted after September 6, 2013, the last day of Add/Drop for the term. If the waiver deadlines are ignored, you will be responsible for the insurance premium. Your insurance charge will not be removed from your tuition bill without an approved waiver.
The online waiver can be accessed at www.studentinsurance.com. Withdrawal: Payment Obligations and Refunds. To withdraw from an individual course or to withdraw completely from the university, the student must complete and submit the appropriate form to the Registrar’s Office. No refund will be made without such official written notification. For a student who officially withdraws from the university during a semester, the amount of tuition refunded is determined by the student’s official withdrawal date as set by the Registrar’s Office. The amount of tuition refunded is calculated as follows: | | - withdrawal through the 2nd week of the semester | 100% | | | - withdrawal during the 3rd & 4th week of the semester | 75% | | | - withdrawal during the 5th & 6th week of the semester | 50% | | | - withdrawal after the 6th week of the semester | 0% | For students who withdraw from Capital and are on the university room and board plan, you will be charged the full room charge for the semester and your meal plan will be prorated based on the date of checkout and key return with the Office of Residence Life and Housing. Financial aid awards for students who withdraw also are subject to adjustment. A student who feels that individual circumstances warrant exception to the above policy may file a written appeal with the director of Student Accounts. Tuition and Fees Refund Policy. When students register for courses or request an assignment in our residence halls, students are accepting responsibility for charges unless they withdraw in accordance to university policies. The following are Capital University’s refund policies: exceptions to these rules are made only under conditions determined by the University. - Tuition, Room and Meal Policy
- Standard Academic Year Refunds
- Non-Standard Refunds
- Room and Board Refunds
- Financial Aid and Refunds
Notice of Withdrawal In order to be eligible for a refund upon withdrawal and/or the dropping of a course, a student must notify the University Registrar’s Office in writing of his/her intentions or should complete the course drop online via WebAdvisor. Tuition refunds are calculated as of the date of withdrawal or last class attended as verified by the instructor of the course being dropped. Tuition, Room and Meal Policy Students who withdrawal from the University or drop individual courses within the first six weeks of the semester are held responsible for tuition and fees based on the student’s official withdrawal and/or drop date as determined by the Registrar’s Office. University housing and board plans will be refunded on a pro-rated basis as determined by the Office of Residence Life and Housing. The official check-out date will determine the pro-rated refund for all housing related charges. Should a student withdraw or drop coursework after the sixth week of the semester, no tuition is refunded. University housing and board plans will continue to be refunded on a weekly pro-rated basis based on your official check out date. Course fees will only be refunded if they are dropped during the two week add/drop period. The same policy applies to emergency leaves. Standard Academic Year Refunds For standard courses, (14 to 16 weeks in length) the refund policy is: - Withdrawal through the 2nd week of the semester 100%
- Withdrawal through the 4th week of the semester 75%

- Withdrawal after the 6th week of the semester 0%
As stated above, the deadline to receive any refund(s) for a course fee (i.e. Private/Group Lessons, Nursing Clinical Fees, Professional Ed Fees …) will be the second week of the semester. No course fees will be refunded after this date. Medical withdrawals will follow the university’s approved withdrawal policy. Medical appeals will be handled on a case by case basis. The effective date of withdrawal and or drop is determined by the last date attended as verified by the instructor. Any unpaid charges owed by the student will be deducted from the calculated refund.

In the summer sessions, enrollment dropped on the days listed below will warrant the corresponding refund: - Withdrawal through the 2nd week of the semester: 100%

- Withdrawal after the 6th week of the semester: 0%

For students withdrawing on a voluntary basis, housing and board refunds are granted on a pro-rated basis and generally coincide with the date items are removed from the residence hall and when keys are returned. Resident students who withdrawal, take a leave of absence or choose not to attend school without fulfilling their signed housing agreement will be charged a housing cancellation fee of $300. 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.

- If my account is not paid by the due date, I understand that 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.

- I understand that I shall be responsible for, and I hereby agree to pay, all collection costs and attorney fees that Capital University may incur to collect any unpaid balance on my student account.
- I understand that I will be asked to re-certify the Terms and Conditions for the Financial Responsibility Statement when I engage in a change of my registration throughout the semester.
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 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 15th 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 PIN to sign the form electronically. All instructions for this are available at the FAFSA website. Any questions can be directed to the Financial Aid Office at 614-236-6511. 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 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 www.capital.edu/undergrad-aid/. - 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, 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/Quality Assurance Capital University is responsible for assuring accuracy of data reported on the FAFSA by you and/or your family. If requested, you will need to provide additional documentation. This process is called Verification and is required by the Department of Education. If you are selected for Verification, which is done based on federal and institutional criteria, we will require you to submit documentation before any aid can be awarded. Generally, we will require signed 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. Any changes identified in originally reported FAFSA data will result in a recalculation of need-based 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 pay for classes offered at another school, the Financial Aid Office may generate 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 also must be sure to meet Residence Requirements as outlined in the Bulletin. If a student meets Consortium Agreement criteria, the following information must be provided to the Financial Aid Office before processing can begin: - Copy of an approved Transient Form from the Registrar’s Office, 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 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 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 Perkins Loan-This federal loan is administrated by Capital and is for students who demonstrate high need and who usually are Federal Pell Grant eligible. The loan is interest-free until nine months after the student ceases to be enrolled on at least a half-time basis, at which time the loan is repaid with 5 percent interest. Partial forgiveness of this loan may be possible via teaching in a “teacher shortage area” as defined by the U.S. Department of Education, as well as for full-time nurses. Amounts usually range from $1,000-$2,000. Once identified for this loan, a promissory note must be completed. Visit Capital’s site at www.capital.edu/perkins-loans/ for additional information. Federal Direct Stafford 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. 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 enters a public service profession. Please visit www.capital.edu/stafford-loans/ for addition 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 30 days after the final disbursement, although payments can be deferred while student is enrolled at least half-time. Students whose parents are denied PLUS Loans may request additional a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan with verification of a PLUS denial. Details are available on Capital’s web site 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 in Capital’s Financial Aid Office before the funds can be credited to the student’s account. 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, or directly to the borrower when appropriate, in a timely manner upon receipt of electronically transmitted loan funds. The regulation applies to Federal Perkins Loans. 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 usually carry higher interest payments and are based on a co-signer’s credit. In most cases, repayments can be deferred until graduation or termination from school. Details are available at www.capital.edu/alternative-loans/ or in the Financial Aid Office. 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. For several years, Capital University has offered 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/. 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-$2,100 during the academic year. Earnings are paid directly to the student through direct deposit twice per month, 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 www.capital.edu/work-study.
