Tuition, Fees, and Financial Aid

Financial Responsibility

It is the student鈥檚 responsibility to be aware of their student account balance and financial aid information, and maintain current valid contact information at all times to ensure receipt of all University correspondence in a timely manner. All correspondence is sent from the University using the student鈥檚 official 黑料网 email address. Students are responsible for checking their Santa Clara email address for important information and updates.

Financial Terms and Conditions

Students are required to accept the financial terms and conditions outlined by the University in order to continue their enrollment at 黑料网. Students will be prompted to accept the terms and conditions, on an annual basis, upon their login to the Workday portal. Students must login to their Workday portal to read and agree to the Annual Online Agreement.

Billing and Payment Procedures

Student Accounts and Billing

Students assume responsibility for all costs incurred as a result of enrollment at 黑料网 and agree to abide by applicable University policies and procedures.

Students may designate a third party (e.g., parent, family member, spouse) to be an Authorized Payer for the purpose of reviewing student account/billing information and remitting payments on the student鈥檚 behalf. However, it is ultimately the student鈥檚 responsibility to make sure all financial obligations are completed by the published deadlines.

Students receive monthly bills electronically via a third-party vendor that are accessible through the Workday portal. Billing notification will be sent to the student鈥檚 assigned 黑料网 email inbox and to the email address of any Authorized Payer. Students may also forward their billing statements electronically to any third party they authorize. Information on a student鈥檚 account cannot be provided to any third-party payer unless a completed Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) form authorizing its release by the student is on file with the University.

Students are obligated to pay the applicable tuition and fees associated with their enrollment status by the published term payment deadline, regardless of receiving a billing statement. Students enrolling after the initial payment deadline may be required to prepay for their enrollment. Registered students who do not withdraw formally from the University are responsible for all tuition and fees assessed to their student account as well as any penalty charges incurred for nonpayment. Nonattendance does not relieve the student of his or her obligation to pay tuition and fees.

Payment Methods

黑料网 offers a variety of payment methods to students and their parents to assist with their financial obligations.

Payment by Electronic Check

A student or Authorized Payer may make online payments by authorizing a fund transfer directly from their personal checking or savings account through a third-party website accessible via the Workday portal. The payer is able to make electronic check payments online without incurring a transaction fee. Payments made by electronic check will be subjected to a 7-day calendar hold.

Payment by Mail

Payments for student account charges are accepted by mail. The payer should download a copy of the student鈥檚 billing statement, enclose it with a personal or cashier鈥檚 check payable to 鈥満诹贤�,鈥� and mail both items to: 黑料网 Payment Processing, P.O. Box 550, Santa Clara, CA 95052-0550. Payments made by paper check will be subjected to a 10-day calendar hold.

Payment in Person

Payments for student account charges may be made in person by check only at the OneStop Office located in the Admissions and Enrollment Services Building.

However, there are computer kiosks located in the OneStop Office for the convenience of students and their payers who wish to make electronic payments. The University does not accept credit cards as payment for student account charges.

Payments made by guaranteed funds are not subject to holds.

Extended Payment Options

For students and their families wishing to spread payments over a period of time, the University offers term payment plans, which are available through the online billing system via Workday portal or Authorized Payer Transact portal. There is a $40.00 non-refundable, fixed fee to enroll in these plans each term, but no interest is charged during the payment term. Information about these plans is available on the Bursar鈥檚 Office website.

Delinquent and Late Payments

If by the due date, all charges on a student鈥檚 account have not been cleared by payment, financial aid, or loan disbursement, a late payment fee will be assessed to the student鈥檚 account and an account hold will be placed on the student鈥檚 account. The institution reserves the right to also require students with repeated instances of late payments to prepay for future enrollment. 听If a student's prior-term payment history shows at least 2 consecutive terms of late payments, a registration hold may be placed on the account that would require prepayment with guaranteed for a minimum of three consecutive terms before pre-payment registration hold is lifted. A hold on a student鈥檚 account prevents the release of diplomas or certificates, prevents access to any registration services, and may limit access to other University services. Students who have unpaid accounts at the University or who defer payment without approval are subject to dismissal from the University.

Delinquent student accounts may be reported to one or more of the major credit bureaus and may be forwarded to an outside collection agency or an attorney for assistance in recovering the debt owed to the University. All unpaid balances referred to an outside collection agency will accrue 10 percent interest per annum on the balance remaining from the date of default in accordance with California state law. The student is responsible for all costs incurred to collect outstanding debt, including but not limited to accrued interest, late fees, court costs, collection fees, and reasonable attorney fees. All outstanding bills and costs of collection incurred by the University must be paid in full prior to a student re-enrolling at the University. Returning students whose balances were previously referred[RS1] 听to an external collection agency due to a delinquent account will be required to prepay for future enrollment.

Refunds and Payment Policies

Students may be eligible for a refund if they have a credit balance on their student account. Refunds are processed after the end of the add/drop period of each term/semester. Payments [RS2] made are subject to the holds as outlined within the 鈥淧ayment Methods鈥� above before refunds can be issued. Refunds will not be processed for any overpayment on the account unless the student has completely withdrawn or dropped units causing a credit balance.

Under the Federal Direct Loan program, a student may borrow funds for educationally related expenses and defer repayment until six months after graduation or when the enrollment status drops below half-time (e.g., less than 6 units). If an undergraduate is an independent student or a dependent student whose parents were denied a听Federal Direct PLUS Loan, the student can borrow additional funds through the Federal Direct Loan program based on their academic grade level. To receive a subsidized Federal Direct Loan, a student must have financial need. Interest is not charged on a subsidized Federal Direct Loan while the student is enrolled at least half-time. Eligibility for unsubsidized Federal Direct Loans is determined after eligibility for subsidized Federal Direct Loans is decided. Interest accrues on unsubsidized Federal Direct Loans during all periods, including while the student is enrolled in school and during any grace or deferment periods.

Federal Direct PLUS Loan

A parent or stepparent of a dependent student may apply for a Federal Direct PLUS Loan through the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan program to help cover the cost of educational expenses. To be eligible for a Federal Direct PLUS Loan, a student must be a U.S. citizen or eligible noncitizen and must be enrolled at least half-time. A parent may borrow up to the cost of attendance minus all other financial aid for each undergraduate child. An origination fee is deducted from the disbursement of the loan.

Financial Aid Eligibility

Enrollment Status and Financial Aid Eligibility

Undergraduate students receiving financial aid must meet general University eligibility requirements and any applicable eligibility criteria associated with specific federal, state, or University aid programs from which they are receiving support. Financial aid recipients generally must be enrolled as full-time students in a minimum of 12 units each quarter in which aid is received, must be making satisfactory progress toward a degree, and must maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0. 听Financial aid听to students who drop below full-time status (e.g., less than 12 units) could听be adjusted unless certification for continuing eligibility is granted by the Financial Aid Office. Eligibility for institutional financial aid is limited to a maximum of 12 consecutive academic quarters of undergraduate study. This institutional aid听will cease after the 12 quarters of enrollment in a postsecondary institution unless certification for continuing eligibility is granted by the Financial Aid Office. Specific financial aid awards may have additional requirements for continuing eligibility.

The U.S. Department of Education has basic eligibility requirements for financial aid, which must be met and maintained in order for a student to be eligible to receive aid. These requirements apply to all federal, state, and 黑料网鈥揻unded aid. A student must 鈥渂e enrolled in an eligible program as a regular student seeking a degree or certificate.鈥� Students cannot be awarded aid for classes that do not count toward their degree, certificate, or other recognized credential. In short, students are only eligible for federal, state, and University-funded aid when taking classes that are required to complete a degree. Once those degree requirements have been met and a student is eligible to graduate, he or she is no longer entitled to receive aid. This holds true even if the student has been here fewer than 12 academic quarters.

Students who are able to graduate because they have completed all of their degree requirements but decide to enroll for an additional term,听are not eligible to receive federal, state, or University-funded aid for the additional term. Students who believe that they may be adversely impacted by the U.S Department of Education regulations should reach out to a financial aid counselor to discuss their particular circumstances.

Academic Standing and Satisfactory Progress Requirements

All financial aid recipients must maintain good academic standing and be making satisfactory progress toward a degree according to the University standards and applicable federal and state regulations. Students are evaluated for satisfactory academic progress each quarter.

Qualitatively

Students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher. Note: Some 黑料网 aid programs require a higher cumulative grade point average than the federal minimum requirement.

Quantitatively

Students must maintain a cumulative 67 percent completion rate for all units attempted toward their academic programs.

Maximum Attempted Units Allowed

Students must complete the requirements for their academic programs within 150 percent of the minimum units required to complete their academic programs. Units attempted also include all units transferred into 黑料网 from prior institutions that can be used to satisfy students鈥� academic program requirements. Students who have reached their maximum attempted units allowed are ineligible for additional financial aid. Students may appeal for financial aid probation status if they feel their circumstances warrant an exception to this standard.

Unit Requirements

All financial aid recipients must register for and maintain a full course load of 12 units or more per quarter, if the aid was awarded on this basis. Students who drop below 12 units may see their financial aid adjusted. Full-time and part-time status is defined as follows:

Full-time: 12 or more units
Three-fourths time: 9 to 11 units
Half-time: 6 to 8 units
Less than half-time: fewer than 6 units

Course Incompletes, Withdrawal, Failures, and/or Repetitions

Incompletes (I), Withdrawals (W), Failures (F), and/or repeated courses will adversely affect a student鈥檚 completion rate. Students must complete the minimum number of units to fulfill federal, state, and University requirements. Completion rates are calculated cumulatively and will include all quarters that the student was enrolled, whether or not the student received financial aid.

Students who wish to withdraw from 黑料网 during a quarter must complete a withdrawal form and an exit interview in the Drahmann Advising and Learning Resource Center. If the formal requirements for withdrawal are met, the student鈥檚 registration will be canceled without academic penalty. A withdrawal notation (W) will be assigned for each course from which the student withdraws after the fourth week of the quarter. Students who leave 黑料网 during a quarter without formally withdrawing are subject to failing grades in all courses in which they were registered and are ineligible for refund of tuition.

IMPORTANT: Any student leaving 黑料网 at the conclusion of any quarter should also complete the standard withdrawal process.

Repetition of Courses

Students may only repeat a course in which they have received a grade of less than C minus (C-). In such cases, the highest grade for the repeated course will be used in the GPA calculation. This 鈥渂est attempt鈥� policy is in keeping with best practices and will apply to the calculation of both overall GPA and major GPA. Units will still be awarded only once for the course, and grades for all attempts will remain on the student鈥檚 transcript.听Certain courses, such as special topics courses and performance courses, are repeatable, and students will receive a grade and units for each successful completion.

Evaluation

All students enrolled at 黑料网 are evaluated for satisfactory academic progress at the end of each quarter after the Office of Registrar has released official grades.

Appeal Process

There may be extenuating circumstances encountered by a student that affect his/her ability to be academically successful during an enrollment period. These circumstances include personal injury or illness that occurs during an enrollment period; death of an immediate family member or legal guardian during an enrollment period; or other documented circumstances that were unexpected in nature and beyond control of the student. In these cases, cumulative grade point average or completion rate may decline resulting in the student not meeting the minimum qualitative and quantitative standards previously described. If the student wishes to appeal the suspension from financial aid eligibility, a Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal form must be submitted to the Financial Aid Office. If the appeal is approved, s/he will be placed on financial aid probation (separate from academic probation). Students will be notified of the appeal results in writing.

Loss of Eligibility

A student who has lost eligibility to participate in federal, state, and University aid programs for reasons of academic progress can regain that eligibility only by enrolling at 黑料网 at his/her own expense. The mere passage of time will not restore eligibility to a student who has lost eligibility for failure to make satisfactory academic progress. Students who have been dismissed from 黑料网 for academic reasons, but who are subsequently readmitted are not automatically eligible to participate in federal, state, or institutional aid programs and will be placed on financial aid warning. Re-admission decisions are separate from funding decisions.

Regaining Eligibility

Students who fail听to meet satisfactory academic progress and who choose to enroll without financial aid may request a review of their academic record after any term in which they are enrolled without the receipt of financial aid. If the standards are met at the time of review, eligibility may be regained for subsequent terms of enrollment in the academic year.

Other Program Eligibility

Study Abroad and Global Programs

黑料网 students participating in study abroad and domestic public sector study programs operated by or affiliated with the University are eligible for 黑料网 financial aid and tuition remission as well as federal and state aid consistent with the policies and practices applicable to students enrolled for on-campus classes. Tuition and housing and food rates associated with the specific program will be factored into the determination of the financial aid consistent with applicable policies and practices. The total amount of tuition remission for the academic year cannot exceed the annual tuition rate for that year. Students with private scholarships should contact the donor for prior approval to use funds for study abroad or domestic study programs. Students from other colleges and universities enrolled in 黑料网 study abroad programs are not eligible for 黑料网 financial aid.

Veterans and Veterans鈥� Dependents Assistance

黑料网 has been certified by the Department of Veterans Affairs as qualified to enroll students under applicable federal legislation and regulations, including Chapter 35 (child of a deceased or 100 percent disabled veteran, widow of any person who died in the service or died of a service-connected disability, or wife of a veteran with a 100 percent service-connected disability), Chapter 31 (rehabilitation), Chapter 30/1606 (active duty Montgomery G.I. Bill庐), Chapter 33 (Post 9/11 GI Bill庐), and Yellow Ribbon. Individuals interested in attending under any of the veteran assistance programs should contact the Veterans Administration and the University Office of the Registrar.

Cancellation of Financial Aid and Return of Funds

Students who withdraw (officially or unofficially) from the University and who have federal financial aid are subject to the federal regulations applicable to the return of Title IV funds (R2T4). This R2T4 regulation is based on EARNED and UNEARNED aid at the time of total withdrawal from all classes for a term. These regulations assume that a student earns his or her financial aid based on the period of time the student remains enrolled during a term. A student is obligated to return all unearned federal financial aid funds governed under Title IV other than those earned under the college work-study program.

Unearned financial aid is the amount of disbursed Title IV that exceeds the amount of Title IV aid earned in accordance with the federal guidelines. During the first 60 percent of the term, a student earns Title IV funds in direct proportion to the length of time the student remains enrolled. That is, the percentage of time during the term that the student remains enrolled is the percentage of disbursable aid for that period that the student has earned. A student who withdraws after the 60 percent point of the enrollment term earns all Title IV aid disbursed for the period. The amount of tuition and other charges owed by the student plays no role in determining the amount of Title IV funds to which a withdrawn student is entitled. Please note this policy is separate and distinct from the 黑料网 credit balance refund policy /bursar/refund/.

All funds must be returned to federal programs before funds are returned to state or University financial aid programs or to the student. The return of funds allocation will be made in the following order for students who have received Federal Title IV assistance:

Unsubsidized Federal Direct Loans (other than Direct PLUS Loans)
Subsidized Federal Direct Loans
Federal Direct PLUS Loans
Federal Pell Grants for which a return is required
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants for which a return is required
TEACH Grants for which a return is required
Iraq and Afghanistan Grants for which a return is required

Student Verification of Information

The United States Department of Education requires all institutions disbursing federal financial aid funds to verify the accuracy of the information students and their families submit as a basis for the aid. Each year, a percentage of students receiving federal financial aid funds are randomly selected for verification of the information on which their financial aid was based. Students selected for verification may be required to submit additional documents and verify information, such as household size and number of family members enrolled in college. The University reserves the right to request additional information for verification purposes for any student offered aid and to verify the attendance of other children in college. When verified information differs from that originally submitted, it听may result in changes to aid eligibility. 听In some cases, this may result in the repayment of funds already received. Failure to comply with the request for听additional听information will result in the cancellation of financial aid funds.
