Financial Information - CAPS

Fee Structure - Degree Programs

Students are advised of financial obligations for their degree seeking (core) program during the registration process. A schedule of payments and analysis of fee structures, along with due dates, is outlined. Students are expected to meet these obligations according to the schedule. Any questions regarding payments or problems associated with making those payments should be directed to the Accounting Office.

Students who have applied for financial aid are responsible for all tuition and fees in the event it is determined they are ineligible for financial aid, decline the financial aid, or withdraw from the program prior to completing the academic award period. Students receiving military or corporate assistance who have received prior approval from the university for direct billing are required to pay their share of tuition and fees and submit appropriate assistance documents by the assigned due date. The deferral program in no way relieves the student of the financial obligation to the university and the student retains full responsibility for ensuring that all tuition and fees are paid in full and in a timely manner.

Indiana Wesleyan University reserves the right to suspend students from class attendance for failure to meet financial obligations.

Indiana Wesleyan University reserves the right to change the tuition and fee schedule at any time. Students who remain registered in their initial core group making satisfactory academic progress shall have their tuition and fees guaranteed. A $50 late fee is charged each time a payment is received after the due date. There will be a fee charged for any check returned due to non-sufficient funds. If collection of tuition, book charges, and/or fees becomes necessary, all costs of collection, court costs, and attorney fees are the responsibility of the student. A $100 withdrawal fee will be charged for each temporary withdrawal or transfer.

  1. Any student withdrawing after attending only the first class session of the program or orientation will be assessed a $100 fee. All other tuition and fees will be refunded.

Fee Structure - Elective Courses

Students are advised of financial obligations during the registration process. The breakdown of fees and due dates is included in the Electives Schedule. Students are expected to meet these obligations according to the schedule. Any questions regarding payments should be directed to the Elective Accounting Office.

All outstanding balances must be cleared before future registrations will be approved. Indiana Wesleyan University reserves the right to suspend students from class attendance for failure to meet financial obligations. There will be a fee charged for any check returned due to non-sufficient funds, as specified in the Electives Schedule. If collection of tuition, book charges, and/or fees becomes necessary, all costs of collection, court costs, and attorney fees are the responsibility of the student.

Refund Policy - Elective Courses

If a student withdraws two weeks before the course begins, all payments may be refunded.

If a student withdraws less than two weeks before the course begins, a $50 processing fee will be assessed. All outstanding balances must be cleared before future registrations will be approved.
