Title IV Financial Aid Regulations require that Indiana Wesleyan University offer a Drug Abuse Prevention Program to its employees and students as a part of the eligibility criteria for financial aid.
Drug abuse in the United States has become a major problem, and students at Indiana Wesleyan University are not immune. If you need assistance with a drug abuse problem, we encourage you to seek help at your local community drug abuse prevention center. To talk to someone in a strictly confidential atmosphere, please feel free to contact the The Aldersgate Center at our campus. All conversations are private and will not affect your attendance at the University.

The Higher Education Amendments of 1992 require a school to compile an annual report. This report is available upon request from Indiana Wesleyan University's Student Development office, (800)332-6901 or from the College of Adult and Graduate Studies Administrative Office.

A student has the right to know:

• What financial aid is available, including information on all Federal and State programs.
• The deadlines for submitting applications for each of the financial aid programs available.
• The cost of attending the programs and the school's refund policy.
• The criteria used by the institution to select the financial aid recipients.
• How the school determines your financial need. This process includes how costs for tuition and fees, books, and living expenses are considered in your budget.
• What resources (such as employer reimbursement, other financial aid, etc.) are considered in the calculation of your need.
• How much of your financial need, as determined by the institution, has been met.
• An explanation of the various programs in your student aid package. If you believe you have been treated unfairly, you may request reconsideration of the award which was made to you.
• What portion of the financial aid you received must be repaid, and what portion is grant aid. If the aid is a loan, you have the right to know what the interest rate is, the total amount that must be repaid, the payback procedures, the length of time you have to repay the the loan and when the repayment is to begin.

• Review all information about the school's program before you enroll.
• Complete all applications forms accurately and in a timely manner to correct address.
• Pay special attention to, and accurately complete, your application for student aid. Errors can result in delays of receipt of your financial aid. Intentional reporting of false information on application forms for federal financial aid is a violation of law and is considered a criminal offense subject to penalties under the U.S. Criminal Code.
• Return all additional information, verification, corrections and/or new information requested by either the APS Financial Aid Office or the agency to which you submitted your FAFSA.
• Read and understand the all forms that you are asked to sign and keep copies of them.
• Accept responsibility for all agreements you sign.
• If you have a loan, notify the lender of changes in your name, address or school status.
• Know and comply with the deadlines for application or reapplication for aid.
• Know and comply with your school's refund policy procedure.
