Financial Aid
Student Rights and Responsibilities
Student Rights and Responsibilities
Receiving financial aid is based on admission to a program of
study at Benedictine University and submission of the Benedictine
University Financial Aid Application and, if interested in need-based
financial aid, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
You must apply for financial aid each year. You must meet the
guidelines for satisfactory
academic progress toward your degree.
Your current year financial aid eligibility is outlined on your
Financial Aid Notification Letter. For traditional undergraduate
students, graduate quarter and graduate semester students, if
appropriate applications have been completed and submitted, Title
IV assistance (excluding Federal Work-Study which is paid directly
to the student for hours actually worked) and institutional assistance
will be posted to your student account after the term add/drop
period is over. Students in non-term based cohort programs have
financial aid disbursed according to their specific program calendar.
Your financial aid cost of attendance budget is based on tuition
charges and calculated averages for room and board, books, personal
expenses, transportation, and fees. Your financial aid award package
cannot exceed the cost of attendance budget.
If you and/or your family have experienced a major change in
financial circumstances since filing the FAFSA, you may submit
a formal letter of appeal including documentation of your appeal
to the Financial Aid Office. Consideration of any of the following
circumstances will be evaluated:
- Loss of income or benefits/unemployment
- Family death
- Unusually high out of pocket medical or dental expenses (excluding
insurance premiums)
All appeal requests require FAFSA verification.
The following documents must be submitted for verification:
- Signed copy of Federal Income Tax Return (including W-2's
and schedules) filed by you and /or parents or spouse, if applicable
- Signed verification worksheet
- Other documents may be requested on an individual basis
