Other Refunds
Financial aid is pro-rated at the same percentage rate as tuition (outlined above) and applied equally to each aid type. Any student dismissed by the university will be subject to refunds by administrative action. If a student believes that extenuating circumstances warrant an exception from published policy, he/she must submit a written appeal to the Office of Student Financial Services.
A student may not participate in graduation ceremonies, register for further sessions, or receive any diploma, grades, certificate, transcript, or a degree verification letter until all financial obligations (including Perkins/NDSL Loan) have been met with a zero student account balance. The university, as a security interest, shall retain any diploma, grades, certificate, transcript or degree verification letter until all such obligations are satisfied. Release of any such security interest prior or subsequent to any default by the debtors shall not be considered a binding precedent or modification of this policy.
The university reserves the right to make any changes in refund policies, fees, and expenses without notice. Azusa Pacific University does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender, age, disability, or status as a veteran in any of its policies, practices, or procedures. Appeal procedures exist for anyone who feels that a violation of the above has occurred. Contact the Office of Student Financial Services.
