A student’s decision to attend Bryant & Stratton College should be based on interest in our programs and not on the ability to meet all college costs. Bryant & Stratton College believes students should not be denied the opportunity to pursue their career interests because of a lack of financial resources.

To assist students in meeting their educational expenses, Bryant & Stratton College participates in several types of financial assistance programs - gift aid (scholarships and grants), low-interest loans, and employment opportunities. In many cases, our Financial Services Office awards qualified students a financial aid “package” which includes all three types of financial aid.

Assistance with financial planning is available for families on an individual basis to help them determine how they can best utilize their own resources and other funds to meet college costs. The Financial Services Office will gladly discuss the various types of financial assistance available and will provide students with assistance in completing financial forms during their visit to Bryant & Stratton College.

How to Apply
Students are encouraged to meet with a financial aid advisor in order to determine financial aid qualifications. A member of the financial aid staff will help students to complete the following application forms:
Financial Aid Forms - The “Free Application for Federal Student Aid” (FAFSA) is available from the Financial Services Office or apply online at www.FAFSA.ed.gov. The form must be completed and forwarded to the Department of Education, where it is then processed. In some cases, the school may process the student’s application electronically in order to reduce processing time. New York students receive an Express TAP Application (ETA) from NYSHESC. Eligibility for financial assistance is determined by federal and state agencies, which will produce and send an output document directly to the student.
Federal Income Tax Returns - Students may be required to provide the Financial Services Office a copy of their own and/or their spouse’s and/or their parent’s federal and state income tax returns, including schedules, as well as any additional income and asset information requested by the school.
Upon evaluation of the above forms, the Financial Services Office will notify students of their eligibility for financial aid or of any other steps they may take to receive further consideration for assistance.

Students are required to apply on an annual basis for financial aid consideration. Students may obtain the forms described above annually beginning on approximately January 1 at the Financial Services Office for application for the next financial aid year which begins on July 1.

Residency

For tuition purposes, students enrolling in Amarillo College will be classified as follows: (1) resident students, (2) nonresidents of Amarillo Junior College District [students who live in Texas but not in the Amarillo Junior College district; a Texas resident must reside within the Amarillo Junior College District for a period of six months to be classified as a resident student], (3) nonresidents of Texas and (4) foreign students. Exceptions are listed later in this section.

General Rules

Minors - individuals 17 years of age or younger - and Dependents

Statute: Section 54.052(a)(3) “Dependent” means an individual who is claimed as a dependent for federal income tax purposes by the individual’s parent or guardian at the time of registration and for the tax year preceding the year in which the individual registers.

Section 54.052(c) An individual who is 17 years of age or under, or is a dependent and who is living away from his or her family, and whose family resides in another state or has not resided in Texas for the 12- month period immediately preceding the date of registration, shall be classified as a nonresident student.

Section 54.052(d) An individual who is 18 years of age or under or is a dependent and whose family has not resided in Texas for the 12-month period immediately preceding the date of registration shall be classified as a nonresident student, regardless of whether he or she has become the legal ward of residents of Texas or has been adopted by residents of Texas while he or she is attending an educational institution in Texas, or within a 12-month period before his or her attendance, or under circumstances indicating that the guardianship or adoption was for the purpose of obtaining status as a resident student.

Section 54.055 An individual who is 17 years of age or under or is a dependent and whose parents were formerly residents of Texas is entitled to pay the resident tuition fee following the parents’ change of legal residence to another state, as long as the individual remains continuously enrolled in a regular session in a state-supported institution of higher education.
Individuals over 18

Statute: Section 54.052(e) An individual who is 18 years of age or over who has come from outside Texas and who is gainfully employed in Texas for a 12-month period immediately preceding registration in an educational institution shall be classified as a resident student as long as he or she continues to maintain a legal residence in Texas.

Section 54.052(f) An individual who is 18 years of age or over who resides out of the state or who has come from outside Texas and who registers in an educational institution before having resided in Texas for a 12-month period shall be classified as a nonresident student.

Section 54.054 A nonresident student classification is presumed to be correct as long as the residence of the individual in the state is primarily for the purpose of attending an educational institution. After residing in Texas for at least 12 months with sufficient documentation of intent to establishment of a domicile in Texas, a nonresident student may be reclassified as a resident student as provided in the rules and regulations adopted by the Higher Education Coordinating Board. Any individual reclassified as a resident student is entitled to pay the tuition fee for a resident of Texas at any subsequent registration as long as he or she continues to maintain his or her legal residence in Texas.
Married Students

Statute: Section 54.056 A student who is a resident of Texas who marries a nonresident is entitled to pay the resident tuition fee as long as the student does not adopt the legal residence of the spouse in another state.
Foreign Students

Statute: Section 54.057 An alien who is living in this country under a visa permitting permanent residence or who has filed with the proper Federal immigration authorities a declaration of intention to become a citizen has the same privilege of qualifying for resident status for fee purposes under this Act as has a citizen of the United States.

Aliens living in the United States under a visa permitting permanent residence and those permitted by Congress to adopt the United States as their domicile while they are in this country have the same privilege of qualifying for Texas resident status for tuition purposes as do citizens of the United States.

(Note: Only a permanent resident may file with the Federal immigration authorities a declaration of intention to become a citizen.)

Generally, individuals who obtain permanent resident status while in Texas must wait a minimum of 12 months from the date of issue to request resident status for tuition purposes. At that time, they must provide conclusive evidence to indicate that they are in this state to live and reside permanently.

Tuition for students who are citizens of any country other than the United States of America is the same as the tuition required of other nonresident students, unless eligible under SB1528.

Exceptions

Military Personnel and Veterans

Statute: Section 54.058 Military personnel are classified as provided by this section in the following manner. A person who is an officer, enlisted person, selectee or draftee of the Army, Army Reserve, Army National Guard, Air National Guard, Air Force, Air Force Reserve, Navy, Navy Reserve, Marine Corps, Marine Corps Reserve, Coast Guard, or Coast Guard Reserve of the United States, who is assigned to duty in Texas and the spouse and children of such an officer, enlisted person, selectee or draftee are entitled to register in a state institution of higher education by paying the tuition fee and other fees or charges required of Texas residents, without regard to the length of time the officer, enlisted person, selectee, or draftee has been assigned to duty or resided in the state. It is the intent of the legislature that only those members of the Army or Air National Guard, or other reserve forces mentioned above be exempted from the nonresident tuition fee and other fees and charges only when they become members of the Texas units of the military organizations mentioned above.
Junior College Tuition Waivers for Ad Va lorem Tax Payers

Statute: Section 130.003(b)(4)…the governing board of a public junior college district may waive the difference in the rate of tuition for nonresident and resident students for a person, and his or her dependents, who owns property which is subject to ad valorem taxation by the junior college district.

Texas residents (or their dependents) who move into the Amarillo Junior College District and who own property which is subject to ad valorem taxation by Amarillo Junior College District shall be eligible to enroll at Amarillo College at the tuition rate for resident students.

Those students who think they qualify under the above listed exception, and who can provide conclusive evidence supporting the exception, should contact the Assistance Center in person.
Waiver of Non-Resident Tuition

Students from counties of New Mexico that are adjacent to Texas are eligible to enroll at Amarillo College and pay the non-resident tuition rate. If a dependent student’s family or an independent student from a bordering state moves to Texas after the student has received a waiver of nonresident tuition, the student is eligible for a continued waiver for the 12-month period after the relocation to Texas. After that time, however, the student shall be reclassified as a nonresident unless he or she applies for reclassification and proves he or she has become a resident.

Those students who think they qualify under the above listed exception, and who can provide conclusive evidence supporting the exception, should contact the Assistance Center in person.

Responsibilities

Statute: Section 54.0521 Oath of Residency. Before an individual may register at an institution of higher education paying tuition at the rate provided for residents, the individual must affirm under oath, to the appropriate official at the institution, that the individual is entitled to be classified as a resident for purposes of tuition.

Changes of residency status-it is the student’s responsibility to notify the institution of any change in circumstances that would result in a change of residency status. This must be done in person, in writing, at any College Service Center. Mailing address changes do not constitute a change of address for residency purposes.

If the institution later determines that the individual was not entitled to be classified as a resident at the time of the individual’s registration, the individual shall, not later than 30 days after the date the individual is notified of the determination, pay to the institution the amount the individual should have paid as a nonresident.

If the individual fails to make a timely payment as required by this section, the individual is not entitled to receive a transcript or to receive credit for courses taken during the time the individual was falsely registered as a resident student. Substantiating documentation will be required by Amarillo College to affirm Texas residency.

Payment Information

Students will not be admitted to classes or labs until they have paid their tuition and fees in full. Payment may be made in cash, by check, by money order, or by credit card (VISA, Mastercard, American Express, Discover). Students paying by check are warned to exercise due care, however, as all checks are accepted subject to final payment by the bank. A check returned by the bank because of a stop payment order or insufficient funds does not cancel a student’s registration. If a check given for tuition and fees at registration time is returned by the bank, the student will be charged a service fee.

Student Alternative Payment Plan

The Payment Plan allows students who are enrolled in full semester-length courses to pay for tuition and fees in installments. The first installment is one-half of the tuition and fees total, plus an administration fee (nonrefundable) due at registration; the second installment of one-fourth of the total is due before the sixth class week; and the final installment of one-fourth is due before the eleventh class week. Students who elect to use the Plan must complete and sign a promissory note (plan agreement). Students wishing to sign up for the Payment Plan must be 18 years of age.

Failure to make timely payments by the due dates will result in the assessment of a delinquent fee. A student who fails to make payment in full, including incidental fees, by the due dates may be prohibited from registering for classes until full payment is made. A student who fails to make payment prior to the end of the semester may be denied credit for the work completed that semester. Refunds due as a result of withdrawal or schedule changes will be applied to the outstanding balance due of the note. Fifty percent payment of tuition and fees must be maintained for any scheduled changes. The Plan is not available for mini-term sessions.
Senior Citizen Tuition Waiver Policy

A Senior Citizen is defined as “any person 65 years of age or older.” Tuition will be waived on eligible courses on a SPACE AVAILABLE basis; however, the class must reach its minimum paying enrollment, but not its maximum, for the policy to apply. Proof of age and photo identification are required, and the student must pay all course/lab fees.

Continuing Education Courses: A Senior Citizen must complete the “Continuing Education Registration Form.” Continuing education courses that do not meet the criteria for State funding must be self-supporting and are not eligible for the Senior Citizen Tuition Waiver. Ineligible courses include all Leisure Studies courses and most occupational continuing education courses that are less than seven clock hours in length.

Academic Courses: Senior Citizens who are NOT seeking degree credit may enroll in semester credit hour courses on a space available basis after regular registration is complete. The Senior Citizen must complete the “Senior Citizen Tuition Waiver” and may only enroll in academic courses that are eligible for audit. Prior to enrollment, written permission is required from the instructor and the department chair. The tuition waiver is limited to six semester hours.

Example: If a class starts the first week of the term, but does not actually meet until Thursday, the days Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are still counted.

Congratulations on your choice of Nursing as a graduate field of study. Your decision to enhance your credentials and reach new levels of career achievement will be of great benefit to your professional future. Pursuing Graduate School is challenging enough; meeting the cost is, of course, a major consideration.

This information is meant to help you prepare and apply for any and all aid available to you. Please take the steps necessary to insure your eligibility for the range of funds available to graduate nurses. Above all, remember to apply as early as possible. Students applying after Nov. 15 for spring or March 15 for fall are not assured consideration for awards. Listed below are the steps you should follow for the most advantageous consideration of your request for funds.

Federal Government Sources of Aid: (for US citizens or permanent residents):
Apply early - A student’s Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be received and processed by the Federal Processor by March 1st in order to be considered for campus-based funds (i.e. Perkins/Health Professions Loans, etc.) if eligible.

You can submit your completed FAFSA anytime after January 1st of the year in which you plan to enroll. You can file by paper copy available at the Financial Aid Office of any college/university.
You can also submit the FAFSA on-line at (http://www.fafsa.ed.gov). When filing on-line be sure to electronically sign your form by using your Federal Pin Number available to students and parents.
To request a PIN, go to http://www.pin.ed.gov/ or download the signature page as soon as you complete the FAFSA and mail it to the processing center.
Unsigned forms will be rejected and delay the processing of your financial aid.
The University at Buffalo’s Title IV code is 002837 (question # 86) and the address is 3435 Main Street, Buffalo, NY 14214.

Completing the FAFSA requires a W-2 form and Federal income tax returns for you, your spouse or your parents if you are their dependent. You can estimate figures if you haven’t filed yet in order to meet the March 1st campus-based deadline.

Completing the FAFSA will automatically initiate an application for the NY State Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) for NY State residents

School of Nursing Sources of Aid:
At the same time apply for School of Nursing Financial Aid directly online

Complete the School of Nursing application and file it with the Student Affairs Office prior to Nov. 15 and/or March 15 for Spring and Fall semesters, respectively. Include a copy of the FASFA Student Aid Report (SAR, usually one page) . The SAR will identify your Expected Family Contribution (EFC). This report must be included to be considered for need based awards.

Indicate clearly the type of aid for which you wish to be considered. The sources of aid available through the School of Nursing are defined on the application.

At Quincy University we believe that the investment you make in your education should lead you to a future of success. We are committed to working with families to find ways in which to manage the cost of this valuable education.

We offer a comprehensive financial aid program of scholarships, grants, loans, and student employment opportunities designed to keep the cost of education within the reach of all eligible students.

And you won’t be alone in seeking Financial Aid; over 96% of our students receive financial assistance in excess of $20,000,000 each year from a variety of sources. At Quincy University, financial assistance is awarded on the basis of academic excellence as well as demonstrated financial need.

Students wishing to be considered for federal, state, and need-based institutional financial assistance should submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Renewal FAFSA electronically at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ as soon as federal income tax information is available. Returning students must file their FAFSA by the priority date of April 15th for optimal consideration.

Application Fee ^ TOP

A nonrefundable application fee of $20 for United States students and $30 for international students will be assessed to each person making application for admission or readmission to McNeese State University. Application fees are approved by the University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors.

Registration Fees ^ TOP

Registration fees are determined for each student by number of credit hours or noncredit hours carried each semester or summer session. The following fee schedules are estimates. All tuition and fees are subject to change by action of the State Legislature, the Board of Supervisors, or by student vote on special assessments.

A full-time undergraduate student for a regular semester is one taking 12 hours or more. A full-time graduate student is one taking 9 hours or more and will be assessed at the rate of a full-time undergraduate student at 12 hours. For a summer session, all students are full-time at 6 hours.

In addition to the registration fees a nonresident fee will be charged to each student classified as nonresident under the residence regulations of the University of Louisiana System rules as listed in the Academic Regulations, Determination of Residence Classification section of this catalog.

International Students ^ TOP

The United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires McNeese State University to withhold 14 percent federal income tax from nonresident alien student scholarship awards which are designated for assistance other than tuition and fees. A student whose country of origin is tax exempt under a United States tax treaty may complete IRS form 1001. The IRS form is available through the McNeese Administrative Accounting Office located in Smith Hall.

Those international students on an F-1 student visa will also pay a special fee as follows:$40.00-Fall $40.00-Spring $40.00-Summer

In addition to the accident and hospitalization insurance required by McNeese for all students enrolled in seven or more semester hours, international students on F and J visas are required to purchase through the university additional insurance for themselves and their dependents. The comprehensive medical insurance covers medical expenses up to $50,000, includes medical evacuation and repatriation expenses, and is underwritten by an American-based company. The insurance premium, which is subject to change, is approximately $240 per year and is assessed as part of the student fees. If, prior to enrolling at McNeese, an international student has a comprehensive medical insurance that is underwritten by an American-based company and is comparable to the insurance offered through the university, a waiver for this requirement may be requested through the International Student Affairs Officer. See the International Student Affairs Officer for more information about the insurance.

Louisiana National Guard Tuition Waiver ^ TOP

Under Louisiana Statute R. S. 29:36.1, certain members of the Louisiana National Guard may be exempted from paying the tuition portion of fees. Even with this exemption, a student must pay the special assessments for the Fall, Spring, and Summer Semesters. The student may claim the exemption at the time of registration by identifying himself/ herself as a member of the Louisiana National Guard; eligibility will be verified against a list supplied to the University. All claims not made at the time of registration must be claimed at the Cashier’s Office by the 15th class day of the semester. Students placed on academic probation or suspension by McNeese State University are not eligible for the exemption while the probation or suspension is in effect. Students who do not qualify for exemption must pay tuition, fees, and special assessments at the time of registration.

An applicant who is declared a nonresident student for fee purposes may request that the Ad Hoc Residency Committee review the residency classification of the student. Waiver of the nonresident fee will be made only upon approval of the committee. If a student enrolls and pays a nonresident fee, there will be no exemption from paying the nonresident fee for subsequent semesters even though a Louisiana National Guard fee waiver has been acquired.

Special Fees
Credit examination ($5 per credit hour) $15
Chemistry laboratory deposit fee (per card) $20
Chemistry “breakage fee” (refundable) $10
ID replacement charge (name change, lost, or mutilated) $10

Late Registration Fee Fees ^ TOP

A late registration fee of $50.00 will be charged any student registering after the close of the regular registration period. First-time freshmen are exempted from the late registration fee during their first semester of attendance.

Fees for Extension Courses and other Off-Campus courses ^ TOP

Fees for extension courses and other off-campus course offerings (except for those with contractual arrangement) will be assessed in the same manner as for on-campus offerings.

Partial Tuition Exemption for Graduate Assistants ^ TOP

Qualified graduate students pursuing at least six hours of graduate work, enrolled in a graduate degree program, and in good academic standing may be eligible for a graduate assistantship. The graduate assistants who are employed through the McNeese Personnel Office are allowed credit for one-half of the tuition portion of their fees. This exemption will be granted only upon presentation of a properly completed graduate assistant fee exemption application at the time of registration. All approvals (signatures) must be obtained before the exemption will be allowed.

In addition, all graduate assistant fee exemptions must be claimed within two weeks after the classes begin. Any graduate assistant who resigns or is terminated after the end of late registration does not reimburse the institution for the pro-rated share of their exempted tuition; however, they are ineligible for future employment as a graduate assistant unless approved by the Graduate School dean.

Return Check Policy ^ TOP

If payment for fees or expenses is made by check, the student is urged to exercise care. When a check is returned by the student’s bank for any reason, a $15.00 service charge is assessed by the University. The student has 10 days after notice is mailed by the University to make reimbursement plus pay the service charge for the returned check. Reimbursement must be made by cash, money order, or cashier’s check. Failure to comply within the designated time may result in cancellation of the student’s registration or filing of the returned check with the District Attorney’s office if the check was for payment other than registration fees. The University will not accept a check from a student after one has been returned for any reason. All returned checks are subject to the $15.00 service charge. Personal checks not made payable to the University are not accepted.

Unauthorized Phone Call Policy ^ TOP

Any person placing unauthorized long distance telephone calls will be held responsible for restitution plus a service charge of $5.00 per call. This is a violation covered under the Code of Student Conduct.

Changes in Fees ^ TOP

Any increase or refund in fees is determined after the last date to register, add courses, make section changes, and change credit or noncredit classification. Students are expected to pay any increase in fees due to a change in the total number of hours scheduled or a correction of the fee assessment by the published deadline for the payment of fees.

Dropping Courses ^ TOP

Students dropping individual courses after the end of late registration do not receive registration refunds. The rules of refund for room rent, meal ticket costs, and student insurance are included under the appropriate sections of this catalog.

Refund Schedule for Registration Fees

Late registration fee, if paid, will not be refunded ^ TOP

The University will be unable to provide fee refunds for at least four to eight weeks following the first day of classes during the fall and spring semesters and from two to four weeks during the summer session.

Chemistry Laboratory Fee Refund Deadline ^ TOP

The deadline to collect a refund of the chemistry laboratory deposit fee for the fall and spring semesters is 4:00 p. m. on the last day of the semester. For the summer session, the breakage fee is returnable for five days after the official close of the session. Special course/lab fees are not covered under this policy.

Military Service Refund ^ TOP

Voluntary Enlistment. Students in good standing who volunteer for active duty with the Armed Services and resign from the University before the day deemed as mid-semester will have tuition and fees, and if applicable, the nonresident fee refunded in full exclusive of student insurance fees and other non-refundable fees. After midsemester, only 50 percent of the tuition and fees, excluding student insurance fees and other non-refundable fees, will be refunded. Documentary proof establishing voluntary enlistment will be required before tuition and fees are refunded.

Involuntary Activation. Students in good standing who are involuntary activated with the Armed Services and resign from the University by the last day to resign or withdraw from classes with a grade or “W” will have tuition and fees refunded in full exclusive of student insurance fees and other non-refundable fees. Official military orders indicating activation are required and must be supplied to the Office of the Registrar. After the last day to resign or withdraw from classes with a grade of “W”, additional options are available to students. The McNeese policy is in accordance with the Board of Regents and University of Louisiana System policies. Students should contact the Office of the Registrar for more information.

Textbooks and Supplies ^ TOP

The cost of books and supplies varies, depending on the number of hours carried and courses pursued. The textbooks used at McNeese State University and all necessary school supplies are available for purchase at the campus bookstore.

Student Accident and Life Insurance ^ TOP

The student government has proposed and the University administration has adopted an accident and hospitalization insurance requirement for every student who is enrolled for 7 or more semester hours. The insurance premium (approximately $5 per semester) is included in the student-assessed fees. Applications for refunds and other information can be obtained by contacting the Office of Student Services.

International students. In addition to the accident and hospitalization insurance required by McNeese for all students enrolled in seven or more semester hours, international students on F and J visas are required to purchase through the university additional insurance for themselves and their dependents. The comprehensive medical insurance covers medical expenses up to $50,000, includes medical evacuation and repatriation expenses, and is underwritten by an American-based company. The insurance premium, which is subject to change, is approximately $240 per year and is assessed as part of the student fees. If, prior to enrolling at McNeese, an international student has a comprehensive medical insurance that is underwritten by an American-based company and is comparable to the insurance offered through the university, a waiver for this requirement may be requested through the International Student Affairs Officer. See the International Student Affairs Officer for more information about the insurance

We are Student Financial Planning

The financial aid process can seem overwhelming and time consuming but the importance of understanding and completing the process cannot be over emphasized. Our job is to guide you through the process and hopefully make it as painless as possible. That is why we refer to our office as Student Financial Planning. We are here to help you!
The First Step

Educate yourself! Familiarize yourself with the different financial aid forms and deadlines used by each of the colleges where your son or daughter is applying. When your son or daughter applies to Norwich University you will receive a Norwich Financial Planning Workbook, which will help you through the financial aid maze.
Affordability

Most families assume they cannot afford a private college education for their son or daughter and fall victim to “sticker shock.” The fact is a Norwich education is often as affordable as your local state college. Last year, 92 percent of our students with an average family income of $42,000, shared in more than $23 million of financial aid from all sources. This included an aggressive need-based financial aid program that enables deserving students to secure a private education at Norwich.
Those Dreaded Forms

At Norwich, the two forms you will have to complete are the CSS/Profile and the FAFSA.

The CSS/Profile allows Norwich to award non-federal financial aid to students in the form of academic, merit and endowed scholarships. The CSS/Profile can be completed as early as October 1st and before January 1st using your previous year’s federal income tax information.

The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) allows Norwich to determine your family’s eligibility for Federal grants and loans.

Both of these forms may be completed online:
CSS/Profile
FAFSA

Both forms require you to enter a school code. Our codes are:
CSS/Profile: 3669
FAFSA: 003692
ROTC Scholarships

If your son or daughter applies for an ROTC scholarship, you should still complete both the CSS/PROFILE and the FAFSA. What if they are not selected?
Deadlines and Important Dates

The CSS/Profile should be filed as soon as your son or daughter submits an application to Norwich. It allows us to make an immediate non-federal financial aid award that would otherwise have to wait until the spring if we required only the FAFSA.

Both the FAFSA and CSS/Profile should be completed no later than March 1 of your son or daughter’s senior year in high school to be competitive for financial aid.
