GENERAL INFORMATION


Paying for Your Education


Students who receive Federal Title IV funds are subject to the refund and repayment policies as outlined on www.franklin.edu/finaid.


Time Period for Refund to be Processed Students who submit an Add/Drop Form will receive a refund no later than 30 calendar days after submission of the written withdrawal notice.


The University’s financial services, which include the Business Office and the Financial Aid office, offer a variety of payment options: deferred tuition reimbursement, direct company billing, veterans’ benefits and need or merit based financial aid. Financial aid includes grants, loans, scholarships and employment opportunities.


PAYMENT OPTIONS


When students register for classes, they receive a statement of tuition and fees. Tuition and fees for all students are due by the first day of the trimester unless the deferred tuition reimbursement plan is selected. The University accepts MasterCard, VISA and Discover. Students whose tuition and fees are not paid in full and who are not enrolled in the deferred tuition reimbursement plan are assessed a 1.5% interest charge to tuition and fee account balances older than 30 days. Interest charges will continue to accrue monthly until all balances are paid in full. Students receiving interest charges will receive a monthly statement showing items posted to their account. Students with past-due balances are not permitted to enroll for subsequent trimesters.


NOTICE OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE:Upon enrollment, the student agrees to all terms and conditions of Franklin University’s policies of tuition payment. Tuition and fees for all students are due by the first day of the trimester unless the deferred tuition reimbursement plan is selected. Students whose tuition and fees are not paid in full within 30 days of the start of the trimester in which a student has enrolled, and who are not enrolled in the deferred reimbursement plan, will begin to receive finance charges at a rate of 1.5% per month, or 18% per annum.


DEFERRED TUITION REIMBURSEMENT PLAN


Students receiving employer tuition reimbursement are encouraged to participate in Franklin University’s deferred tuition reimbursement plan, which defers tuition payment until after trimester final grades are processed. To take advantage of this plan, students should request an application from the Business Office and obtain the proper authorization from their employer. The application and employer authorization, along with a $50 deferment fee, must be submitted each trimester. Applications are accepted throughout the trimester, however, interest charges (18% APR) will be posted on outstanding tuition balances if the application is submitted more than 30 days after the start of the trimester. These interest charges are the responsibility of the student. Deferred tuition applications postmarked or submitted after the due date will not be accepted.


DIRECT COMPANY BILLING


Many students attending Franklin University participate in tuition reimbursement plans sponsored by their employers. Some students are reimbursed by their employers upon receipt of each trimester’s grades (see “Deferred Tuition Reimbursement Plan”), while other employers pay the University directly for student tuition. Employers interested in participating in direct payment plans should contact the University Business Office for further information.


TUITION APPEAL PROCESS


The university understands unexpected events may occur that prevent a student from completing academic course work. In recognition of this, the university may consider appeals for reductions of tuition charges.


Appeals are only considered for situations in which events affecting enrollment are non-recurring, catastrophic or life-threatening in nature, and beyond the student’s control. Students should contact their Academic Advisor to discuss their particular circumstances.


Appeals will be considered up to 30 days following the first


day of the next trimester. Appeals received after this will not be given consideration. An approved appeal serves as a one- time exception. Appropriate documentation will be required for committee review. Examples of appropriate documentation may include insurance claims, medical records, military orders, or obituaries. The university reserves the right to deny an appeal. Students may be required to meet with their Academic Advisor prior to re-enrolling following an approved appeal.


FINANCIAL AID


The purpose of financial aid and scholarships is to supplement you and your family’s contributions toward the cost of education. Franklin University’s Financial Aid office administers a variety of grants, loans, scholarships and part-time employment to assist you in financing your education. This office also administers Ohio National Guard Scholarship and Veteran’s Educational benefits.


All information is subject to change because of congressional action, changes in federal regulations and/or Department of Education guidance or changes to institutional policies and procedures.
